Some things should never leave the realm of fantasy: World War III, elves, helium-breasted anime girls and most of all, anything from the Mario universe. Don't believe me? You will once you check out these frighteningly realistic Mario ornaments.

Now the Mario Kart one on the left isn't so bad…the mushroom with the wizened face and dead eyes is mildly creepy…

…but get a load of this mushroom:

I dunno. Could it get any more phallic? That fleshy tone, that wrinkly skin…and did it have to have buttocks? *Shudder*

These disturbing little yuletide creations come to you from the labyrinthine mind of deviantArtist Kalapusa, who's also been known to make dog-eating plants and effigies of GTA's Niko Bellic. Wonder what Christmas is like at his house?
