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.
I understand some of the hate against Nintendo, but this is just a big hoax:

To be honest, when Nintendo has gotten to the point where this story sounds perfectly plausible you can't say they don't deserve all the hate they get (and more, frankly).
The only thing keeping them below Disney on my shit list is that Nintendo seem to act more like the grumpy out-of-touch old man, while Disney is fine being just overtly evil (see the recent wrongful death lawsuit debacle).
That's exactly my point, if you missed it.
Looks like you missed theirs by a pretty wide berth too though
It's copypasta...
