1990: Capcom releases Gargoyle's Quest for GB in Japan. Just look at the happy, delinquent teen gargoyle. It's like he's saying, "My game rocks, and I just got laid—by a girl!" And the toad thinks that the Gargoyle's the coolest.

1997: The United States Post Office send a press release regarding the upcoming game Postal. A portion of it reads, "All of us at the Postal Service have a sense of humor, but there is nothing funny about your game 'Postal.'"

To be fair, there's not very much that's funny about the USPS either. Mark Wilson
