    "Mommy, God isn't Master of the Universe, He-Man is!"

    This terrible blasphemy is one of the cornerstones of this journalistic expose, Turmoil in the Toybox. It's from 1984, when the United States of America was in the middle of an inexplicable Satanic/occult panic. From heavy metal records to ritual child abuse to occult toys, the fundies of the day were getting their panties in a twist about black magic and Satan and the mainstream media, for some ****ing reason, went along with it.

    Phil Philips, author of the book on which this documentary is based, leads a discussion about the perils of modern toys, including just about every single 80s toy or cartoon you have ever liked. This extraordinary nugget of VHS madness takes down everything, from Masters of the Universe (The Snake Mountain playset allows you to turn your voice into that of an 'occult hero') to Scooby-Doo to The Smurfs.

    Some highlights:

    - 39 minutes there's a discussion of how Thundercats is tied into Hinduism and ancient Pagan symbolism. The Eye of Thundera, it turns out, teaches children about the third eye. They talk to the dead, and their martial arts are... I don't know, tied in to Eastern stuff somehow.

    - 50 minutes in we get to Dungeons & Dragons. They have a field day.

    - 59 minutes they get really upset about Sectaurs, because of some **** from the Book of Revelation.

    - 1:02 is where it gets really great. Star Wars is Satanic because The Force is how witches refer to the power they received from Satan. Darth Vader, it turns out, looks almost exactly like the Norse god Odin (?) and Yoda is a Zen master, which is bad because it's Not Jesus.

    - 1:03:28 we get to ET: The Extra Terrestrial, which is a secret occult movie thanks to the levitation, psychic healing and mental telepathy on display.

    - 1:12 we get the truth about The Smurfs. They're blue with black lips.... just like dead things. And they're an all-male community, except for Smurfette, who is transgendered. They're undead homosexuals, basically.

    There's more, including an expose of the Care Bear Stare, the occult aspects of Rainbow Brite cereal and the shocking truth about Wonder Woman's relationship with demons.

    please keep in mind that this is from some fringe idiots who do not speak for the majority of Christians at all.

    As someone who works for the largest Christian Television Network in the world, I know lots of people that LOVE things like Thundercats, My little Pony, Star Wars, Rainbow Brite, etc. Heck, one of our producers actually used to work on The Smurfs at Hanna Barbara.

    When I was a kid, my mom bought into all that crap and threw away all my Dungeons and Dragons stuff.

    ...which, in retrospect, was probably a good thing anyway... but it sucks that she believed all that crap.

    Thank you, uber extreme religious right. That protectionist taboo element helped increased my guilty pleasure feel of listening to that evil rock music I was very sealed off away from that. But once my best friends older hesher feather haired mulleted brother let us play some of his metal vinyls and tapes I was like OMG this "Iron Maiden" group is the devil incarnate - but gosh this "sorcery" sounds so RAD

    But man, cabbage patch kids locally took a beating. With great urban legends of how theyd "come to life" and do violent brutal things to people. And once "Garbage Pail Kids" hit, that was all some confirmation bias needed and they were excommunicated from favor.

    Maybe events didnt happen quite like that, but some kids were given a heavy load of consience for a while there
