Very funny!
gangstahippie28 September 2008
Butt Out is another very funny episode of South park.This one spoofs Rob Reiner and his anti-smoking campaign.The boys see this anti-smoking assembly at their school which is very stupid(this is a hilarious scene which will remind everyone of those other stupid school assemblies which try to act cool but fall flat).The thing that gets them is they say "if you d'ont smoke you can be just like us".The next shot shows all the boys smoking cigarettes in back of the school and they accidentally set it on fire.The parents decide to blame tobacco companies and Rob Reiner comes to town to tell people about not smoking.He makes up many lies about the tobacco companies and makes Cartman his poster boy.But Reiner then tries to kill Cartman.Butt Out is a very funny South Park episode!

South Park lands another one
Any time Trey Parker and Matt Stone produce an episode that takes the air out of Hollywood gasbags, it's a winner.

Leftist bloviator Rob Reiner comes to town on a crusade to keep kids from smoking. The whole time he's talking about making sure everyone is protected from the unhealthy effects of smoking, he's stuffing his fat face with greasy burgers and fries. In fact he's so fat he can't even get out of his chauffered limousine without having his aid grease him up so he can slip out.

But they don't let Big Tobacco off the hook, either. Reiner and the boys take a tour of a cigarette company and it's all jolly-ho for the corporate PR flack and the line workers.

As usual, they spare nobody.

Useful idiots

Warning: Spoilers
Hey, remember that time when South Park championed tobacco companies in the name of "irony"? Remember all those times when South Park keep spewing that "manbearpig" nonsense, having to backpedal once they realized that global warming is indeed a real threat to our planet?

South Park demonized caring. South Park elevated puerile contrarianism and elevated centrist apathy, which in turn, served to help the same corporate overlords that are destroying our planet and who put their profits over our lives.

South Park, in reality, helped the "elite" some knuckleheads keep ranting about: The elite is not made of minorities, is not a religious group, have nothing to do with LGTB people, but billionaries overlords, like Elon Musk.

The same kind of mentality that demonizes people who wants to create a positive difference in this world only serves to create useful idiots for scum like Elon Musk and the Koch brothers. They laugh at us while we battle each other while they keep getting rich each day making the quality of our lives poorer.

Corporations are not your friend, no matter what the idiotic South Park contrarianism made you believe.

Telling anyone that caring is annoying and useless is perhaps the most vile thing South Park has unleashed upon this world.

I'm tired. We're all tired. Fight anyway. Fight back.

Don't be an useful idiot.
