Stormy Daniels compared Donald Trump to a Mario character and Nintendo joined in
You might know by now that Stormy Daniels’ tell-all book about Donald Trump includes a not entirely flattering description of the so-called president’s so-called penis.
Just in case you missed it (stick with us, please), here’s how the Guardian reported it.
“He knows he has an unusual penis,” Daniels writes. “It has a huge mushroom head. Like a toadstool …
“I lay there, annoyed that I was getting fucked by a guy with Yeti pubes and a dick like the mushroom character in Mario Kart …
“It may have been the least impressive sex I’d ever had, but clearly, he didn’t share that opinion.”
Just in case you’re not familiar with him, Toad is a family friendly little chap from Nintendo’s Super Mario series. He’s a bit of a comedy character whose biggest controversy (to date) was whether his mushroom head was a hat (it’s not, it’s part of his body).
So naturally everyone was talking about him online and then Nintendo did this.
Yay #MarioKart and #Toad are trending on Twitter! pic.twitter.com/RiHYEaEE4Z

And people weren’t sure if they were in on the joke or not.
Nintendo. Jesus Christ. Read the damn room. https://t.co/QckQ9l9yK6

And then they did this, which either means they were always in on the joke, or it was a perfectly executed reverse ferret.
