"Holy Copyright Infringement, Batman! How could they hope to sell any of these with such blatant ripoffs of properties owned by highly-lawyered companies?"
"They don't, chum! I don't need the Bat-Computer to tell me this is a scam of the worst kind. I'm betting they're only interested in credit-card numbers, capitalizing on the Christmas rush to ensnare poor unsuspecting shoppers in fraud."
"That's the lowest of the low! Isn't there anything we can do to stop them?"
"Sadly, this sort of problem isn't solved by derring-do or punching a psychopath wearing a bizarre costume, Boy Wonder. I'm sure there will be plenty of lawyers chomping at the bit, though."

Some of the other statements on that site are just plain hilarious:
In describing the amazing game City Fighter:

But I think I'm being a bit harsh, so I'm currently trying to order one. Currently, the details I've filled in are:
Only problem is that it won't let me pick a zip code and I have no idea how zip codes are laid out in America, so if comeone could take this the final step I think this could be entertaining.
EDIT: Don't actually pay for it if it asks you to. If it does, just drop it. Not worth it from that point.
EDIT: Thanks everyone for explaining how Zip codes work to me and my non-American ways, but you then need to pay money, and whilst I could enter a fake credit card, I can't be arsed by this point. Oh well.
