First, a quick follow-up to yesterday’s Conan/Mario “news”.
Why is everyone either saying it’s a dead-on reference while other describe Serious Lunch’s post as a giant hoax/conspiracy?

Some people are taking this a bit too seriously.
It’s just a (good) photoshop joke.
There’s no record to set straight.

The video was the opening for the 2009 FedCon Science Fiction convention.
Check out the awesomeness:
