What kind of bullshit headline is that? Hyperbole. The movie wasn't "successfully removed from theatres" except maybe in some podunk US towns that still resemble To Kill a Mockingbird. The movie made all of two bucks and was rotated off screens post-haste as most shitty unprofitable movies are. It wasn't all that inappropriate or offensive, unless you're offended by visible clouds of fart gas in a movie based on a card series that was entirely focussed on bodily excretions and the like. The movie was just plain boring... I loved Garbage Pail Kids a lot because of the flipbooks on the back of the cards. I had almost all of the first six series or so (just threw 'em in the trash one day like so much valuable stuff from my youth). And I never got through the first half-hour of the movie any of the many times I saw it playing on the movie channel. That's how bad it was.

"Much of its content is said to be inappropriate for children, its target audience. In addition to scatological behavior, the movie has several scenes that feature sexual images (including several provocative scenes with then 15-year-old Katie Barberi), violence, and drinking. Offended parents launched a nation-wide protest of the movie that successfully resulted in the movie being withdrawn from circulation. The shortened release contributed to the movie's gross of $1,576,615."

I'd also like to know how you chatagorize it as not innapropriate for children, even though you've appearntly never watched more then half an hours worth of it.

I have deleted this comment in shame.

As a follow-up, I just had an epiphany... the only reason I am arguing about this is for procrastination purposes. It's not like I really care what is said about the damn Garbage Pail Kids Movie. It's just that arguing pointlessly keeps me from having to focus my mind to get this shit on the other screen done. So, apologies if I'm being a hard-on.
