Garbage Pail Kids documentary

Garbage Pail Kids have been discussed here a bit in the past... in 6th grade I was obsessed with them. Never saw them in a store once, probably wouldn't have mattered if I did since I didn't generally have pocket money in those days. All the cards I ever got were from wheeling and dealing, trading with other kids. A Star Wars figure for 2 packs worth. No gum included, but no big loss there, it was that Topps "guaranteed to chip a tooth" mummified stick-gum.
Those, and at the same time, old best-of Mad Magazine paperback books. One of the parents of my classmates owned a used book store so he got me a bunch of those books, I probably traded away half my possessions for them. As a kid I had no freaking idea who most of the political figures they were making fun of were, since the books were from the 70's and late 60's.
I was so into both of those (and Robotech, now that I think about it), but by 7th grade had totally moved on. I wondered how I got un-obsessed so quickly, and then it dawned on me, "Oh yeah, puberty."
Anyway, the documentary is OK, a bit slow maybe and at nearly 2 hours it could have been cut down a bit, but not bad.
