1up has collected some of the most appallingly bad print ads for video games and related properties and crammed them all into a single article for your delectation.

My personal favorite was this thing on the right, which at first glance spoke to me of seedy dealings with fishnet stocking-wearing persons in harsh incandescent light. Possibly the second go-round of a RealDoll at a frathouse kegger.

You see it, don't you? The lower left corner looks like nothing more than a thigh clad in "fencenet" gauge fishnet stockings (yes, they come in different gauges), and the vaguely simian silhouette and cropped hair in the background is reminiscent of the corn-fed American youth that is the soul of the Greek system.

Which brings us to the completely unidentifiable body part in the foreground. I choose to believe that after enough heat and absorbed beer vomit, even the smoothest silicon meats begin to buckle and bulge. It's also possible that this particular unit was marked "irregular", and seeing as it was probably purchased with student loans, it was all they could afford.

Contemplate this twisted flesh, the stink and squeak of well-used rubber, the tangling of synthetic wig fibers on beige carpet, and think of great advertising decisions of the 1990's. Eliza Gauger
