Osama Musical on Skins (BBC America)

I love BBC America it's refreshing I wouldn't however watch it if your easily offended. I just watched Skins for the first time and the high school was doing a play called Osama. It was a musical about Americans before and after 9-11. Watching it was a little strange I had to remind myself that this is a show from another country. Lets face it we would never do a musical + love story episode on hmmm Gossip Girl that involved The Twin Towers on 9-11. The lyrics that stood out were creepy "Then came the day Osama Blew us away Osama, Osama blew us away" it was uncomfortable to listen to But then you think of all the Musicals we have and there are plenty with tragedies from long ago.. Has it really been long enough? .....I'm not too sure it has...
