Here called "MONA Loser" 67b
The Garbage Pail Kids trading card series has been controversial since its launch in 1985.
The cards are a parody of Cabbage Patch Kids dolls, and each character has some kind of abnormality or is in a violent or vulgar situation.
Some parents and teachers have complained about the cards, and some schools have banned them
During the height of the cards' popularity, Garbage Pail Kids were banned in many schools.
One of the main reasons for the ban was that teachers cited them as distractions during class
Trademark infringement lawsuit
Topps was sued by the rightsholders of Cabbage Patch Kids, Original Appalachian Artworks, for trademark infringement.
As part of the out-of-court settlement, Topps agreed to modify the appearance of the Garbage Pail Kids to remove the resemblance between the characters and to change the logo design.
Production of the cards themselves continued, but by 1988 sales had dwindled and a planned Series 16 was never produced.
The Mona Lisa is a half-length portrait painting by Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci.
Considered an archetypal masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, it has been described as "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, [and] the most parodied work of art in the world".
The painting's novel qualities include the subject's enigmatic expression, monumentality of the composition, the subtle modelling of forms, and the atmospheric illusionism.
The secret behind Mona Lisa's enigmatic smile has been explained by scientists who believe that her smile changes depending on which part of the eye sees it first.
One of the charms of the world's most famous painting is that she appears radiant one moment and then serious and sardonic the next moment.
Now scientists have come up with an answer to her changing moods within same painting!
They believe that our eyes are sending mixed signals to the brain.
Therefore, they think that Mona Lisa's smile depends on what cells in the retina pick up the image and what channel the image is transmitted through in the brain.
