**Update Sep. 3, 2005: While we stand by this episode, we realize that it has upset many people in our audience. And while we may not agree, we feel it is important to listen. The nature of Rocketboom is to experiment and push boundaries, but our intent is never to cause anyone pain. For that reason, and that reason only, we have chosen to move this episode to another location. Having read this, if you decide to watch it, you can do so by clicking the link below. It will remain part of our history. Link.
