So today at work while making the display copies of new releases, this Wii video game called "Cruise Ship: Vacation Games" comes in. Happy kids on a Cruise Ship using Skeet Shooting guns and the like.
My co-worker flips it over, and begins laughing and face palming.
What would be the last subject matter / game you'd advertise for on the back of a Cruise Ship game?

Nothing like getting that sinking feeling...

I thought this pleasure/misery dynamic was standard issue for cruise liners. First you eat your weight in shrimp cocktail while playing parlor games on deck, then you get drunk and pretend you can dance, and then, you die or wish you had once you have projectile puke and bowel movements. Johnny Woo Flu? :D
I got a snort or two from that image though. That's just wrong...

Well, there aren't many iceberg threats where cruise ships roam....
But its still silly.

Now do your part and submit this to failblog. This is a pretty bad juxtaposition fail.

Epic win. Or fail. Both!
Obviously that cruise takes a turn for the worse. I think it's very clever, advertising the sequel with the game.

GameMill Entertainment?
Is that like a puppy mill, churning out crap games?

Be sure to let us know what that Titanic game is advertising.

The way you come up with these hilarious connecting/comparing posts, it makes me wonder if you are Dennis Miller.

Cruise Ship Vacation Games? God, I hope this isn't the future of video games.

That reminds me of some other poorly placed ads, I still laugh when I look at them. LOL

Now chronicled at Stumble Upon for the world to witness, by yours truly. :)
And stu, I do it out of love of the art. I'm not saying I'm particularly good... Only that I enjoy it and am glad you do too. LOL
Snapple, what are talking about future? That stuff is on shelf as we post!

Oh yeah, did you try the game Dangerboy? And do these games actually sell?
