In a tweet by PlayStation UK, they featuredMarvel’s Spider-Man 2’s Collector’s Edition with the tagline “Treat yourself to 19 inches of Venom and more with theMarvel’s Spider-Man 2Collector’s Edition.” While it was a very wholesome tweet on PlayStation UK’s part, some people thought it would be funny to interpret the statement in a more lewd manner. Naturally, many people on the social media platform decided to jump in and make jokes, citing the innuendo used. The reactions made by the community range from shock to just downright naughty and hilarious.
The 19 inches of Venom actually refers to the included Collector’s Edition statue in the package.
