Dead Rising ESRB fuck up

edited October 2008 in Games and Technology
So I was looking at the back of the box for my copy of Dead Rising when I spied something a little off.
The ESRB box at the bottom right of the back is complete garbage! I understand that the game was rated M for something or another, but the words on my copy read:

Crppe !boe !Hpsf
Jouf otf !Wprhodf
Mooh v bhf
QbsujbrtO v e juz
Vtf !p glB rdpi pm

I should mention that this is one of the American Platinum Hits copies. Does anyone else have a game like this, or has anyone heard of such an occurrence?

    I found out what it was supposed to say:
    Blood and Gore
    Intense Violence
    Language
    Use of Alcohol

    That's nothing at all like what's on the back of my copy.

    This is a true "pics or it didn't happen" moment.

    As far as I know, Jouf otf !Wprhodf is worthy of a AO, not M. Joufs are serious shit.

    Oh man... I remember a few years ago I was watching an NFL game with Troy Aikman and that other guy announcing... Something was wrong with the on field game clock, all the digits were out of whack, and the other guy said to Aikman "you've seen that a lot, haven't you?" in reference to his constant concussions. Hilarity.

    Anyways, to get on topic - I hope you don't have a concussion.

    I for one am glad that the ESRB is finally watching out for Jouf otf !Wprhodf

    I'm tired of all the Jouf otf !Wprhodf that gaming companies are allowed to get away with, and I won't have those stupid pieces of Jouf otf !Wprhodf corrupting our youth anymore!

    I think I have a brain tumor. I thought it was the Wii's version because of the "Chop 'till you drop" and was all "What, it's out already?" then I noticed there were more than 2 zombies in the screenshots.

    That is an awesome picture. I guess the printers were bitten by zombies.

    Actually, it's supposed to say:

    Blood and Gore
    Intense Violence
    Language
    Partial Nudity
    Use of Alcohol

    You don't want to forget the biggest reason parents objected to the game now, do you?

    Alright jackass...this help? There's a piece of paper in there to cover half of some of the letters, and you can see the scan-shadow from both the case and the piece of paper. If that doesn't help, show me another way to prove it. risingmfuckupproof.jpg
