* The cover of ''[[Left 4 Dead 2]]'' shows a zombie hand holding up 2 fingers, which happens to be the British equivalent of giving the middle finger. Considering the massive [[Fan Backlash]] when the game was announced, this seems appropriate. Valve did figure it out in time for the UK release though, and [https://web.archive.org/web/20130713013903/http://www.gamegrep.com/showimage.php?pos=1&newsid=23652 reversed the hand] so it became [[Woolseyism|the victory/peace sign]].
** Strangely, in Ireland some shops had the "fuck off" boxes and some shops had the "peace" boxes.
** The Japanese cover simply has the thumb [http://www.gamefaqs.com/xbox360/960511-left-4-dead-2/images/box-173855 tucked away] rather than torn off, due to stricter ratings for violence and the cultural association of missing fingers with the [[Yakuza]].
