Matt Stone and Trey Parker have “slowly morphed into the Trump of TV comedy.” was another good line. Stone and Parker have always been hard core libertarians. One, they aren't Trump. Two, there was no slow morph. They've done this stuff from day one.

Incidentally my father works with (I think) Trey Parker's dad. Apparently he is happy his son is doing so well. But he wishes there was less cussing and won't watch South Park.

SJW's are perpetually aggrieved so their reaction to South Park is somewhat irrelevant. One of them will always be offended, and if one is offended so goes the collective.

My only problem with the newer South Park episodes IMO is they've veered into "clapter" territory at times. Some of the laughs were more because I agreed with them than humor.

I wonder if SJW's (probably used to Stewart & Colbert) are put off by a point of view that doesn't affirm their world view.

Of course they are. Deeply.

As good an example of life imitating art as you can find.

I've watched the first 5 or so minutes of the episode. When the dads are out having a beer and complaining to each other about PC Principal, Kyle's dad explains that his son got two days suspension for the Caitlyn Jenner remark.

The other dads? they regurgitate the PC Principal's line on Caitlyn in an manner eerily reminiscent of the way life in East Germany must have been like.

Were you didn't know who was an informant to the Stasi, and toeing the party line was a survival mechanism. But I doubt the SJW picked up on that, either...

Meta comment: I find it utterly fascinating how SJWs will insist that your sexual identity is somehow fluid and not in any way related to one's chromosomes, but whom you are attracted to is some how fixed and not subject to change.

That is a very astute observation, I R A. I watched the episode, and while I definitely agree with attacking the over-zealous social justice warriors, I found the episode to be ... I don't want to say "disturbing," but it was a little "off." Especially where Cartman was concerned.

1. He gave up too easily. He conceded that he was no match for PC Principal (who replaced Principal Victoria) and threw in the towel before even trying.

2. He was handily defeated in his machinations, even as he was brutally beaten. This is highly unusual, since Cartman has prevailed against physically stronger opponents in the past, such as Shelley Marsh (Stan's sister).

I suppose this was some kind of commentary about how SJW's will PC language to death, but ignore much more severe offenses, such as an adult beating a child to the point of hospitalization.

3. Somehow, at the end of the episode, Cartman and Kyle seem to think that Cartman "won" something. And I fail to see how. PC Principal is there to stay. Cartman is forced into political correctness and seems to go quite willingly. Even after being beaten up by Wendy Testaberger in "The Breast Cancer Show Ever" for ridiculing her breast cancer awareness efforts, he never resigned to going into PC mode.

I have a feeling I'm not going to like this season. But at the very least, Parker and Stone's trademarked irreverence and attacking any and all things is still firmly in place.

I need to finish the episode, but I hope Cartman isn't above rope-a-doping PC Principal.

"seem like a bad thing to strive for correct language..."

Yes, that is inherently a bad thing.

"Were you didn't know who was an informant to the Stasi, and toeing the party line was a survival mechanism. But I doubt the SJW picked up on that, either..."

They probably nodded in approval. Because that's what they want.

Patrick,

"3. Somehow, at the end of the episode, Cartman and Kyle seem to think that Cartman "won" something. And I fail to see how. PC Principal is there to stay.

But Cartman:

A. Got to exploit a bunch of offensive stereotypes (Mexican pregnant women, tacos, Syrian refugee kids, Jared) while getting applauded for it because he was "checking Kyle's privilege,"
B. Beat Kyle, who's always his number one enemy, while pretending to be his friend.

Cartman got to be his usual self while getting approval from the SJWs, hence the "have your cake, and eat it too" line at the end. He used PC Principal, he didn't give in.

"Social Justice"?

Puke. Retch. Barf.

There's a special kind of amplified, X-Games-level stupidity that can look away from you and your neighbors being groped for wanting to ride in an airplane to whine about cartoon characters.

South Park says it right in the opening disclaimer: "The following program contains coarse language and due to its content it should not be viewed by anyone."

They were warned..

It's like George W. Bush corralling protesters into "free speech zones" away from his royal parade of armored limousines.

Just because someone is offensive to you doesn't mean you get to force them into silence. SJW pot, meet the kettle you claim to despise.

Introductions all around.

That makes more sense the way you explained it, Brian.

Check out the movie, The Lives of Others for a ringing indictment of life under the Stasi.

It's a bit slow and in German with subtitles, so you'll have to pay attention.

Deer Lord, I just watched a bit more and PC Principal attended Texas A&M.

*groan* *face palm* *head desk*

He'd object to "we are the Aggies, the Aggies are we, true to each other as Aggies can be" as being inadequately inclusive.

Old Army is dead. Cartman, crush his ass.

Just checking in here long enough to applaud and admire the, oh-so-decriptive, use of the word, "Pantiwads"

I haven't watched it since circa 2000, but isn't being obnoxious the whole point of South Park?

"I haven't watched it since circa 2000, but isn't being obnoxious the whole point of South Park?"

Pretty much. I'd term them immorality plays. Unlike the old morality plays that tried to show you how to act by depicting moral people having good outcomes South Park shows horrible immoral people suffering for their evil and stupidity.
