Ha ha. That's a funny article. The first thing I thought of was a fighting move in the game God Hand. If you get a certain combo move, you put the enemy over your knee and spank the butt until you send her flying into the sky. If forget if it's just against female enemies or not. 

Everybody deserves a spanking at some point! 

Remember that game Deathspank? I think I played it but I'm not sure there's spanking. Seems like there should be though. 

I do sort of remember that. 

A Ron Gilbert game. Which makes me think I should've played it because I like that guy. Looks like the sequel Deathspank: Thongs of Virtue is back compat on Xbox One. I'll have to look it up.
