There is actually an interesting nugget or two that could be mined from this image:
There was clearly a directive that one of the characters needed to be a girl, and one of the characters needed to be black - I picture Ed Boon saying “just make the chick black lol”
Then you have the actual ad which has both a “nice rack” comment and a joke about one of the lads “having to be the chick” - both kind of funny, but only possible because of the fact the characters were added in the first place - presumably they weren’t added to only be the butt of the joke
I was thinking about making a post here later with some actual screen caps of different games, so I may very well do that still.

Most of the ads are similarly “shocking” compared to the watered down slop these days.
