He-man did for boys what Barbie did for girls. That's why there is all that roid use in baseball - they all grew up playing with He-man.
The web site X-Entertainment is worth looking at for any of you who loved He-Man, Thundercats, G.I. Joe, Transformers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and all those other 80s cartoons -- as well as TV shows like Saved by the Bell. It's an extremely hilarious site looking back at (and making fun of, in many cases) all kinds of things from that era, and the writer is very sharp and witty. I highly recommend it.
