Cracked Round-Up: Fantasy Island Edition

By:

Cracked here, reporting in from Fantasy Island- where anything can happen! We're currently dealing with a minor monster problem brought on by all of our twisted dreams coming alive.

Unless "you" happen to be Charlie Sheen. If so, you should check out Luke's column on the worst lessons of 80s anti-drug cartoons.

Seanbaby put together a comprehensive list of the laziest toys of the laziest decade, and Dan O'Brien closed us off with cookbook aimed at shaming the modern nemesis.
