EB Games/Gamestop employees have a powerful database at their hands, containing the names and inventory numbers of an exhaustive amount of titles.
What happens when one disgruntled employee types in dirty words? This article happens, that's what.
From "fart" to "boob," I conducted some surprisingly successful searches with the inventory search ability of the computer at my job. Of course, what's a journalist without his proof?
Doggy Poo
After some digging, I quickly ruined the potential for making fun of this one after I found the official IMDB entry, or did I?
"Once upon a time, a little doggy poo lived on the side of a road. He felt all alone in the world. He believed that nobody needed him for anything, and that he had no purpose in life. If only Doggy Poo had a reason for being, then he wouldn't give up on his dream to be useful to the world."

Fear not, most noble poo, you've found usefulness in entertaining our small cabal of readers.
3D Friday Poo
We actually had this game in stock at the time I searched for it. It turns out that it’s really a sku name for 3D Friday Pool.
“Hey, do you guys have any pool games in stock?”
“Hold on, lemme check. Nope, nothing under ‘pool.”
“There was this one game I used to play, 3D Friday Pool I think.”
“Hmm. Nope, it’s not on there. There is a game about taking a three dimensional dump to start off the weekend, though.”
“Nonsense! To hell with this place, Wal Mart’ll have it!”
Singin Woody
Oh hell no, no way am I doing a Google search on this. Just make your own joke at home.
Fart the mv
I was going to go on and on ridiculing this title, but after discovering the source of F.A.R.T. The Movie, the description is better than anything I could come up with.
“Russell has two passions: watching television and farting! He also loves Heather. Heather HATES farting. The eternal triangle! One day she warns him, "if they ever allow farting on television, you'll never leave the house!" One evening he goes to sleep in front of the TV, and "it" happens. Virtually everything on TV is fart related, from sitcoms and commercials, to newscasts and dramas.”

Everything on TV being fart related? Oh, how you tease me. If everything on TV was fart related I wouldn’t have left that world behind for video games. Well, maybe for Boogerman.
Well that’s it for the article, loyal readers. Just don’t do anything crazy like call an EB Games/Gamestop and ask them to do a sku check for any of the numbers pertaining to those games. Just be grateful I thought ahead and photoshopped them out of the photo. Oh shoot, wait a second…
