This was apparently real, from a flyer at an event in 1996.

!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.
Our Rules:
1. Keep it civil.
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.
2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.
I should not need to explain this one.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.
Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

The PlayStation 3 baby commercial was also something else. Playstation has had some real weird marketing moments.
I'm hoping I can make it to 2078 for the spherical PS9
What in the what
If we're talking about it then it woeked
I get where you're coming from, but ads don't just want people talking, they want to turn people into buyers.
After the success of the PS2, virtually their entire market knew about the PS3. But even with those weird ads and their previous massive success with the PS2, the PS3 was selling terribly poorly around the time of the baby ad, IIRC.
That's just creepy lol
