If There's A Rocket Tie Me To It

After looking at this picture for awhile and thinking about it over a bowl of mac 'n cheese, I can see some very subtle messages the ad was trying to point out:
  1. Ducktails poster and Chip and Dale playing on the screen: Both are Disney products, both are kid friendly and something parents wouldn't be too worried about
  2. Code Name: Viper poster: But don't worry, Nintendo and Capcom offer up bad ass violent games that will offer up action to those that feel they are too old for "kiddy games"
  3. Model Aircraft and the wheel of the model car: Nintendo and Capcom has something to offer everyone's interest, flying games and racing games.
  4. Baseball Trophy: Hey, we don't want you to spend all day playing our slick, awesome games! Get out there and play sports... because everyone knows when you play Nintendo you become much better at real sports!
  5. Nintendo Power mag: Guess what! Nintendo has magazines that will help you become a master! You heard me, A EFFING CRACKERJACK!
  6. Strider box: We also have arcade classics! Why waste money going to your local arcade where strange men would come up to you and offer you money to "help them with something in the bathroom" where in the safety of your own home you can play the same games and not get molested*
    *Not responsible for any molesting that may occur by family members
  7. Plan white walls vs Bright ass 80's clothing: Hey, why live and play in a dull, colorless world? With Nintendo and Capcom you are breaking that boring world! Playing in awesome 8-bit color your telling the world "Hey, back off world, I'M PLAYING WITH POWER!"
  8. The pencil book ends: Subliminal penis.

All of that analysis and no mention of the raging mullet? That has to say something. Like, Nintendo costs so damn much we cut our kids hair with a pair of butter knives.
