Captain Planet Sorts Out the Troubles -or- Can't We All Just Get Along?

Dane, on the lookout for some YouTube action pertaining to his hometown, typed "Belfast" into the search box. Among other gems, he found this--an edited bit from a bizarre episode of Captain Planet that certainly deserves to be showcased somewhere.

In this episode, the Catholics and Protestants have somehow obtained WMDs and CP steps in to save the day (in an America--fuck yeah! sort of way). Man alive. There are no words to express how simplistic, uninformed and dopey this treatment of the Troubles is. You'll just have to watch for yourself.
