A Hair-Raising Episode

It's a day that will live in fandom infamy. The episode "Dye! Dye! My Darling" first aired on this day in 2000, and you could probably hear the cries of shock and outrage all over the world. And really, can you blame us for that reaction? I mean, those hair puns were awful. Oh, and there was something about a kiss or whatever, too.
