South Park and The China Problem



If you want to do China-bashing, you might as well do it right and no-one does it like South Park.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone savage Western paranoia in their latest episode, The China Probrem, the season premiere broadcast in America on Comedy Central last night. Starring Eric Cartman as Edward McMillan-Scott (and here).

And featuring Steven Spielberg and George Lucas as you've never seen them before. Poor Indy!

I can't look at the videos at the moment due to tech probs but I found the one on Tom Cruise funny. Didn't he try and get it banned or something?

Madam Miaow said...

Yes, Trapped in the Closet is the episode Tom got banned in the UK.

It might have been this one that upset Scientologist Isaac Hayes (Chef) who, up until then, had no probrem lampooning other groups.

I can't believe Tom Cruise actually got this banned! What, he doesn't believe in free speech? (Wait, nevermind) And yeah, I also thought it was ironic that Hayes didn't mind throwing anyone under the bus in all the other totally un-P.C. shows, but gets all sanctimonious when it came to his own religion.

Yes, Mrs M, and now look at the state of him. Let this be a lesson to the righteous and pious among us. Your higher spiritual plane might just develop engine failure if the divinity thinks you're full of BS.

That is fantastic. The original trapped in the closet in 22 parts is one of the best soap operas I have ever seen. I collected them in a playlist but I'm not sure they are in the right order.
