When I was about 4, I saw this ad on TV for a promotion in which you could win a Gameboy (I think it had something to do with Breakaway bars) which showed a kid playing on one and ending up with holes in him (not sure of the specifics, but they were round holes you could see through, not bloody gunshot wounds or anything).
For a year or two after that, I thought that would really happen to me if I played on a Gameboy, and I was scared that someone would buy me one for Christmas or my birthday.
