10 Songs From The '90s We Sang As Kids And Really Shouldn't Have

By Moojan
Songs from the '90s had a lot of subtle sexual lyrics, or maybe I was just super naive when I was a kid. I've been listening to these songs for two decades now, and it was probably only a few years ago that I actually noticed just how "dirty" some of these songs are. Let me know if you agree! 1.  "Genie in a Bottle" - Christina Aguilera Not only did I sound like a dying animal while singing this song, but I was also belting out lyrics that had strong sexual connotations. Lyrics like "you gotta rub me

10 Songs From The '80s Your Parents Tried To Ban You From Listening To

By Moojan
According to my mom, 80s music was "too vulgar." She may not have been wrong, there are a lot of songs from the 80s that are still considered risque. My mom wasn't the only one who had that opinion, so many parents thought the same that an American committee was formed in 1985 to increase parental control over the access of children to music deemed "too violent, drug-related, or sexually explicit." Here are some songs that made the Parents Music Resource Center group's "Filthy Fifteen" list, and other songs my parents always scolded me for listening to. 1. "Darling Nikki"

Whatever Happened To Ethan Embry From "A Far Off Place?"

By Meg
A Far Off Place is one of those movies that we all remember from our childhood, but never really realized how dark it was. The 1993 Disney movie featured a young Reese Witherspoon who ends up walking through the desert with another kid. Seems relatively harmless, right? JUST KIDDING. The two kids, Reese Witherspoon and Ethan Embry, are left STRANDED in the desert after literally everyone else they know is murdered. Nonnie, played by Witherspoon, and Harry, played by Embry, had sneaked away from their home in the African desert to meet up with Nonnie's friend, Xhabbo. They hear gunshots,

Remember Sloth From "The Goonies?" The Man Behind The Mask Lived A Very Tragic Life

By Awa
The 80s adventure film The Goonies was one of my favorites while growing up. Steven Spielberg and Richard Donner's cult-classic about a group of outcasts in search for a treasure to save their neighborhood incorporated a lot of things that I did as a kid, like making my own toys and riding my bike around the neighborhood, but it also touched on things that I fantasized about as a kid, including teaming up with my friends and going on an adventure sans adults. The characters were also really lovable and memorable, especially the gentle chocolate and ice cream-loving giant named

Curse Of 'The Mummy' - How The Classic Film Nearly Wiped Out Its Cast

By Zachary
If any movie proves that "they just don't make 'em like they used to," it's The Mummy.That's the The Mummy - as in the box office smash of 1999, to avoid any confusion with certain other films bearing the same name.The mystical adventure had action, laughs, and special effects that look amazing to this day - and they should, because they cost $150,000 per shot.While The Mummy gave audiences chills, making the movie was just as frightening for its cast. From the very beginning of the shoot, to the movie's premiere, it seems like the film's

I've Only Just Realized All Disney Princesses Are Missing A Body Part And I'm Bothered

By Maya
During my childhood, there was never a moment I didn't wish I was a Disney princess. While I was partial to Belle, I felt a deep investment to all of the characters, who made me believe in happily-ever-afters.Growing up, I had watched each movie at least a dozen times, but I never realized something was missing, particularly, a body part.This isn't the only time the princesses have shared key attributes, as it was previously uncovered why they are predominately seen dressed in blue.DisneyIt's also interesting to note that most of their mothers have either passed away or
