Banned 1998 SNL Schoolhouse Rock PCB Parody

Someone on Telegram (Hats Channel - https://t.me/HATSTRUTH) shared a .mov clip (I converted the clip to mp4) billed as a banned 1998 Saturday Night Live (SNL) parody of Schoolhouse Rock satirizing PCB pollutants derived in the manufacture of “manufacture capacitors, hydraulic fluids, lubricants, plasticizers and transformers”. If I had to guess, the clip was banned because too many Corporation toes were stepped on. Possibly some of those controlled SNL paychecks.

Some of the culprits tagged in the SNL satire that I noticed General Electric (GE), Westinghouse, Fox Network, CBS Network, Disney, TV Guide… to name a few. I suspect SNL is manufacturing guilt by association since these days these companies have become subsidiaries of larger corporate conglomerates. I’m not even going to try to connect the conglomerate web of present day stakeholder (as opposed to shareholder) evil profit.

GE seems to be the 1998 focus of SNL ire. With the GE thought, here is some GE/PCB history you can peruse:
