Nintendo Disses Justin Bieber Free Publicity!

It seems that the producers for ‘Never Say Never,’ an upcoming film featuring live performances of teen idol Justin Bieber, waited until the last minute to officially request permission to use the Super Mario theme song in the movie. In a random act of good common sense, Nintendo has rejected the request to the dismay of the film’s director.

“aw C’mon Nintendo! Y won’t u let us use the Mario theme for 15 secs in the @Justinbieber movie,” said Never Say Never director Jon Chu via Twitter. “…talk about free advertising passed up. Oops,” adds Chu.


Above: We hope that Nintendo's legal team will be able to sleep at night, knowing that they passed up on all the "free advertising" they could have received by allowing the Super Mario themesong to be played in Never Say Never
Never Say Never is scheduled to release on February 11 over Valentine’s Day’s weekend – and we’re certain that we’ll never watch it, Mario music or no.
