Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe Crashes Olympics Closing Ceremony as Super Mario

No matter what you think of Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe’s bold, three-point economic strategy, you have to give him props for showing up at the Olympics closing ceremony on Sunday night dressed as Super Mario.

Yes, Abe helped preview the 2020 summer games in Tokyo by emerging from a green pipe after being transformed into the lovable video game plumber. Abe came out holding a red ball and wearing a red cap, which he promptly waved to the crowd.
