This is somewhat of a classic dump. A simple product, a time gone by, and lots of lawsuits. Bratz hit the scene in 2001 and gave Barbie a run for her money, and then Barbie gave Bratz a run for their money, everyone was running for their money. Get your BFFZ and check out our take on BRATZ. 

We have made it to the harrowing conclusion of our Anna Nicole Smith series. Through all of the ups and downs in this story we can safely say that this is the saddest chapter by far and easily one of the saddest episodes of Culture Dumps as a whole. Rip Queen.

In the third installment of our Anna Nicole series we discuss her debut as the wild child spokesperson for Trimspa as well as one of the most notorious Anna moments of all time. Unfortunately, this is the part of the story where things get dark, from the ever tightening grip of Howard K Stern to her unexpected move to the Bahamas, and finally, the death of her first born child. It truly is all down hill from here folks.

As we continue the saga of Anna Nicole Smith we will see her rise to the top of the modeling word and fall to the bottom of the cinema world. There will be a wedding, a death, and a revolutionary television show. There will also be lots of pills.

We made it folks, episode 100 (proper)! For this landmark episode we are beginning to tell the tale of Anna Nicole Smith, a true blonde bombshell and icon of beauty, scandal, and tragedy. Join us as we dive into her early days in Mexia, Texas, her fateful meeting with a billionaire oil tycoon, and her introduction to adult entertainment. RIP Anna.

On Episode 99 we sit back for a minute and relish in the glory of our near approaching milestone: 100 episodes. We appreciate all of the support that we have received thus far. Keep on dumping folks!

This episode’s guest is Violet Sky. Violet is what we call an “era influencer,” someone who lives their live as though they were in a different decade and gives the public a look into their life via social media. Not only is she a 1980’s historian and revivalist, she is also an amazingly talented artist whose music we cannot get enough of.

“Louie Louie” is an iconic Rock anthem that holds a prominent place in American pop culture. Recognized as one of the most famous rock songs of all time, it has been covered over 2,000 times. The song’s enduring popularity, however, was accompanied by controversy due to its widely misunderstood lyrics, which led to investigations by the FBI in the 1960s. The Kingsmen’s shambolic recording of the song, characterized by its raw and gritty sound, played a significant role in shaping the garage rock genre. 

This is the first installment of our new series within the world of dumps. We have covered many toy crazes over the years but this is going to be a bit different. Rather than focusing on toys that were extremely popular and then faded into obscurity, we are going to tell the tales of the most dangerous and in some cases, deadliest toys to hit shelves. For our first volume of banned toys we are discussing the toxic Aquabeads and the incredibly notorious lawn darts.

Dave Sirus is an Emmy nominated, Writers Guild Award winning comedian who has written for comedy giants like SNL and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog.
