The Final episode of Powerpuff girls, a show about crime fighting little girls, was never aired in the US. It was inexplicably banned from US
television and can only be seen on youtube, google video, or various other sources online.
Warner Bros. has been scrambling to get these videos removed from the internet claiming copyright violations - even though they neither own powerpuff
girls, but also the video was never aired in the first place.
In the episode the powerpuff girls are tired of living in such a horrible sad place and a gnome offers to make the world perfect and safe - for the
price of their powers.
The girls relent and give up their powers and the gnome eliminates all the evil in the city, and erects a gigantic flower/tower and demands that
everyone worship him because of his great deeds.
The Professor (the man who created the girls), sings a very political song.
The first verse goes as follows:
Can't you see the people in the streets,
Lined like cattle waiting for the butcher of freedom
Sacrificing their hopes and their dreams,
Or their individuality
For freedom!
Do the people have to be freedom beef?
Do the people have to be freedom beef?
For safety on the streets!
At several times during the song the professor is seen holding an butchering axe while either saluting to the US flag, or at one point holding it near
the white house as if the axe was a flag.
There are several references to giving up freedoms for safety in the episode. The world teaches us that too much freedom and liberty can allow for
terrorism to go unchecked and 'destroy our freedoms'. The Powerpuff girls sing another song in the episode that references yin and yang, and
opposites, finally ending with "There's no good without the bad"
The song can be seen here (unless youtube bends to warner bros and removes it)

I think the government squashed this episode - meant to be the series fanale - because it would be too moving, and because it paralleled the world we
are living in today.
