Paco's Cardboard Nintendo Console

Paco Gutierrez, age 9, always wanted a Nintendo console. However, due to being extremely poor living in Venezuela, it was just a distant dream. Using his creativity and with the help from his uncle, he made a cardboard Super Mario game, posted it on YouTube and the video went viral. Thanks to the video, Nintendo's CEO Doug Bowser personally traveled to Venezuela, to give Paco a Cease and Desist order and sue his family for 200 million dollars.

A young Venezuelan boy proudly holds a homemade cardboard Nintendo-style console, with a photo of him shown beside it. The joke is a fabricated satirical news story: instead of rewarding his creativity, Nintendo supposedly sends its CEO to sue the poor family for an absurd 200 million dollars. It is used as an absurd reaction to exaggerated corporate greed and copyright enforcement.
