Garbage Pail Kids make a comeback:
"Long before 'South Park' or 'Beavis and Butt-Head' entertained kids with lowbrow toilet humor, there were the Garbage Pail Kids. Now, the grandfather of gross-out is making a comeback.

After being off the market for 15 years, a new series of the hugely successful stickers that entertained children in the mid-1980s with depictions of bodily functions will be released in August by The Topps Co."

It is too bad that they could let a bad idea lay to rest. I never thought the idea for these cards were all that good and I still do not. The article tries to compare GBK and Spoungebob Squarepants. Not sure that I see the similarity. Now, the comparison to Jackass, that is apt.
