Now, I'm not someone who would invoke the tragedies of 9/11 for something as trivial as Bomberman's potential addition to Smash Brothers, but, a lot of brave men and women died that day to protect our freedom.
Now I'm not saying that bombs themselves are offensive, for example Samus Aran uses them and she has a ton of redeemable traits, she's tall, blonde, white, and knows how to fire a gun, now THAT'S AMERICAN!
Link is an elf, so by definition, I guess that makes him kind of a sissy, but I imagine the toughest sissy of all time could smash like a thousand beer cans on his head. Therefore, he gets the "Bro" approval for his use of bombs.
Bob-ombs don't count because they were born that way, and that's why we have to win the war on terror... for the Bob-ombs. Mines are too sci-fi, so they don't count either.
So that leaves us with Bomberman.
Bomberman, what do we really know about you?
First, look at the signs of warning, the anger in his brow as he hoists a powerful explosive over his head. Look at his sadistic glee, perhaps he must blow something up to achieve release, if you catch my drift, heh-heh.
His beady little eyes show no remorse, underneath his white headwrap. And we all know how prone Bomberman can be towards suicide! So for that reason, I rest my case.
We know you're a madman. A tyrant. We will not be fooled again.
This is not a Bomberman world! We are free. God Bless America.
...If you don't understand that the above is a giant joke, I'm sorry. I love Bomberman.
