The '80s were a fucking rip-off.
When I get bored, my mind starts to wonder. Due to lack of anything else to do, I begin to ponder life's mysteries... not anything interesting like searching for the true religion ('Jedi'), the universal cure for cancer ('a bullet to the face'), and what Michael Jackson claims as his ethnicity ('black, white, and plastic')... but random things with no real bearing on the real world.
Last week, I dove into the mystery of why everyone has Windows on their PCs when 'Microsoft Works' is more of an oxymoron than just a clever marketing name.
Over the weekend, I investigated what makes overweight people think getting a Diet Coke with their large fries and McHeartAttack is going to help them lose weight and stop being such McFatAsses.
Well, today's topic...
Who is Captain Planet?
Now, I could bore you with all of the petty details about how Captain Planet was a poster child for the '80s whose career was over by the '90s, or how he was always using his "mind" to save the earth from evil, foreign villians with a lot of money. I could point out he looks a lot like Richard Dean Anderson...
But instead, I'm just going to put up a picture of Captain Planet next to a picture of the legendary MacGyver and leave you all to your imaginations...
Just think about it.
