I thought this was funny:
Grab My Ghoulies

Ok so we all know that Rare will release their first game for the Xbox this winter. The game is called, "Grabbed by the Ghoulies". The game looks great and seems to be a lot of fun to play. Well recently I went to England for vacation. The reason I went is because I am a huge Football (Soccer) fan so I flew over to see my favorite team, Manchester United, play and it was awesome. The vacation was amazing and I had a blast.
Anyway the real reason I am writing is that when I was there I visited a bar and I talked to a lot of the natives. Well during a conversation with one of them, I was making fun of the guy because he is a fan of Britney Spear's music. Yes you read right, he likes her for her music and not her body. So I had to make fun of him for it otherwise I wouldn't have been a good American if I didn't so while I was, he said, "Stop busting my Ghoulies!" I had no clue what he meant and then he went on to say that in England, people use the term "Ghoulies" as a slang word for "balls" or "testicles". I couldn't believe it and he said this a common term that everyone knows. We all know that Rare is a British software company so my question is then do you think they knew this? I mean it makes sense "Grabbed by the Balls" and it would be a funny title and is a perfect title for a beat'em up game. Do you know anything about this or maybe next time you guys talk to Rare you could ask them this question for me. Thanks! Keep up the great work!

Kaiser responds: It's hard to say if Rare was aware of the meaning of the word, but when we first heard the title, we thought it was really funny because we knew what it meant.Silly Brits.
