@coolman9992 meh, I didn't say it was perfect. Anyway, communism in practice is like raising two cows and giving them to the government so that they can give you some milk. Capitalism is selling one cow and buying a bull, then selling the milk to the government.
So it's been a very looooooooong time since I watched this. I think maybe around 2004-05 and I watched this episode with my dad. It felt so long to me back then because I was easily scared of things like this. I had wondered why I could always see reruns of other episodes but not this one, that had freaked me out. When I was a kid, I had a basic idea of evil dictators but not in exact vocabulary. I watched a Hitler documentary when I was a kid and that's wat made this scary.
@coolman9992 at first i thought it was Jack Black but i cant remember the name of the guy. but they created the gnome to look like jack black but b4 they could get him jack black turned them down. so i guess they got someone to imitate jack's voice
I remember I first saw this episode (7 yrs old)when I taped an episode of Teen Titans (remember that?) and I was rewinding the VHS (remember that too?) and I saw that the recorder had recorded PPG by mistake. So, I started watching this with my lil bro (3 yrs old) We were both fans of Teen Titans so he was there watching with me. We watched the part with the gnome and it was SO awkward. My mom walked in and covered my little brother's eyes. She thought it was weird gay porn on a VENUS channel.
@LadyCheesyHooves I dont think its about capitalism vs commuunism so much as about sacrificing your freedom to a government for security.Dont forget that there have been dictatorships with capitalist economies.
"You gotta give something to me. Hey! How 'bout your life?" "If you want peace, give me your powers now." That pretty much gave the whole Communist thing away. xD
@thenoobisback121895 that's a new one first it was banned because it gave kid's seizures then it was churches were mad at the people of townsville were worshiping a magical being like a god now Capitalism whats next it was banned because people hate rock operas or because the songs sound to much like Tommy and they were getting sue'd by the who
it was banned because of the flashing background and it was said to have a communist vs cappitialism message.

There were 2 reasons this was banned in the US.
1: References of Capitalism vs Communism
2: Rapid flashing background. Didn't want people to get seizures.
