Pee and Poo
I have no words. The title pretty much says it all.

The videogame that made the movie famous
Although I am sure that I played many, many hours of E.T. The Extra Terrestrial on my old Atari 2600 (actually, in the interest of truth in memoirs, it was the Sears Video Arcade Rev. A), I never realized what a total flop the game was. Apparently, the game was a major cause of the Video Game Crash of 1983. Atari was apparently stuck with so many unsold tapes that they buried millions of them in a desert landfill. Perhaps more interesting than all of that, I learned about this via an informative music video (warning: informative music video) that traces the game's star-crossed history.
The only way it could have been worse, I suppose, is if a little racism and misogyny had been thrown in, a la Custer's Revenge.

Obscene Cabbage Patch Doll
It was bound to happen sometime - those Cabbage Patch Dolls are the devil's playthings! Is it wrong that I find this story so amusing? If you think so, I am begging you to check out the slideshow and tell me if you don't agree.

Emotionally Scarring Toys!
DO NOT buy any of these toys for your children, if you have children, unless you want them to be EMOTIONALLY HANDICAPPED for the rest of their natural lives! The site is Disturbing Auctions and has things like the Drunken Monkey and the Big Hands Baby. My favorite one is the Drunken Man
Egads!
