 Don't forget Pre-Teen Dirty-Gene Kung-Fu Kangeroos - I don't usually read any
 comics, but I saw that title in a book-store once. (I may have screwed the
 spelling). It's getting kind of ridiculous, I hope they are actually worth
 looking at, personally I didn't bother. I can't see what's wrong with these
 feature length commercials that a big nuke wouldn't fix, though there are 
 many more pressing problems. Does it matter if the toy begets show or if 
 show begets toy? Theres a fine line there.
