Disclose Notes: Parody of the animated program 'The Flintstones.' Priest has said on his website he created this story to mock how "white" the Flintstones were by demonstrating how they would appear as TV-style stereotypical black family. The perceived inflammatory nature of this sequence is likely why no credits were published; Priest's script credit from his website.
