Spandex isn't going to solve anything

I ONCE heard about a small town in Europe where the residents became fed up with all of the pollution, litter, and illegal dumping.

Dumping in and around Kimberley has become an eyesore, sparking concerns from residents, businesses, and activists. In this image, people are seen scavenging through rubbish at the corner of Regiment Way and Cricket Street.

One of the residents suggested, "You guys know what? We need Captain Planet!"

Suddenly, there was a flash of light and a superhero-looking dude in spandex shows up and says, "Did someone summon me?"

The townspeople rejoice and cheer for their new saviour, who proceeds to gather everyone together as he puts together a basic strategy to fight the pollution problem.

As soon as he's outlined the plans, he stands up and announces, "OK, everyone, have fun, I'm outta here."

The confused townspeople try to stop him, protesting, "Wait, when do you start doing all this?"

The super dude responds, "Me? I don't do anything. You called for Captain Plan-it ... that's me. See ya!"
