Examples (as far as I can remember):

In nickelodeon magazine, they an image of President bush holding a wave bird controller and playing “Mario party” (as a joke).

There was a scanned ad for mario party in the oval office.

There was a commercial of mario running for President.

I feel like there was another instance or 2, but I can’t quite recall.

Was this a joke i just “never got” as a kid? Or just a really weird coincidence? Is it just because “mario party” and “political party” both have “party” in it?
