Again, no review. Also, after watching the episode, a part of my brain keeps saying "Must watch Digimon. WHEE!!!!" (As long as they keep showing ads for the anime program that's up there with, though not as cool as, Pokemon during Futurama, I'm going to make cracks at it.)

Comments
Zoidburg's comment about the pirate ship being poisonous is a crack at a regular confusion. In the world, the official symbol for an object that's poisonous is a skull with some crossbones. Sound like something that people remember, right? Wrong. It turns out that the skulls and crossbones symbol is also a symbol for pirates. Thus, some idiot may mistake some that's poisonous as pirate food. To avoid this confusion, another symbol, the Mr. Yuck face, can be used to warn people that an object is poisonous.
Here's a sample of some of the Atlanta items mentioned in the episode.
Ted Turner: Cable television mongul, America's Cup champion, and major owner of Time Warner stock. Turner started his cable television empire in the 1970's when he made WTBS, an Atlanta-based network into the first cable superstation. He later followed that with such networks as CNN, TNT, and Cartoon Network. He is also the owner of the Atlanta Braves baseball team.
Coca-Cola: One of the most popular sodas in the world, the Coca-Cola Company is headquarted in Atlanta.
Hank Aaron: A baseball player for the Atlanta Braves. He has become a legend in the world of Major League Baseball when, during the 1970's, he broke Babe Ruth's home run record.
