107. If you ever really want to die laughing....
...see if you can find a book called "Turmoil in the Toy Box." It's from the mid-80's, that heyday of the world's greatest cartoons, when some wacko Christian group went to great pains to find demonic messages in every single popular kids' show of the time. From He-Man (use of sorcery ... eeeeevil!) to the Transformers (shape-shifting characters undermine kids' sense of stability in the world) and everything in between, this is about as hysterical a book as you'll ever read.

Sadly (or perhaps not-so-sadly), the original is out of print, but there's a re-printed version that you can see here:

What's really scary are the Amazon reviews by parents who are essentially saying, "Amen, sister!" Or maybe they're just being sarcastic. One would like to hope....
