What kind of Bollocks article is this?
then the Greek Government has right to forbitten the Internet and gaming if articles like this are online and
people copy the electronic games, not buy them!!!

Super Mario eats the Greek Flag!
In Greece all videogames have been banned and USA based artist Miltos Manetas , decided to respond to this irrational law with a website called greekstupidity.com
In his website , a flash animation shows the famous Nintendo character Super Mario, eating a Greek flag!
Manetas, 37 who the British newspaper The Guardian has called El Greco of the Geeks ("EL GRECO OF GEEKDOM , THE GUARDIAN, OCT 23-97, ), was the subject of a controversy that occupied the international press this winter because of his on line exhibition whitneybiennial.com ( read related NY Times article : http://www.nytimes.com/2002/03/04/arts/design/04ARTS.html
and an interview by Manetas at Salon.com http://www.salon.com/people/conv/2002/03/21/manetas/ )
The Greek artist, who works with images he appropriates from videogames since 1995, decide to create Greekstupidity.com, after he received an email asking him if he considers himself a political dissident.

There are a few things that we'd like to outline before you post a comment.
Please keep your comments related to the article, or the the subject on which the article is based, no private/BBS-style conversations (i.e. stuff that belongs in the forums, or in a private chat), and please please please don't type in l33t, because then AChimp will have to make fun of you mercilessly and he's a very busy person.
Also, if you're worried about spam-bots, etc, you can enter your website's URL instead of your e-mail address, or enter nothing at all if that pleases you, too. :|
Now give us your feedback, foo'!
