In case you've been living under a rock, South Park started its eleventh season with a bang. CNN reports. (Links on Youtube are going down fast, catch it while you can.)
This post was deleted for the following reason: Admittedly doomed, registration-only link to a current episode of a TV show, and the thread already a trainwreck to boot. Not good. -- cortex
I wonder what the city council of New York thinks.

I challenge anyone to find me a show less relevant or less funny than South Park.

Family Guy?
I used to hate South Park, but in recent years it's become the most stupidly intelligent show on the air.

Two links, neither of them work, no further description. So what, they dropped the N-bomb? meh. Could be an interesting post, but you could have provided a lot more info.

mr_roboto, I am watching the thing right now. I have never watched southpark before. Anyway [spoiler]
A guy goes on a game show called Wheel of Fortune, which is a bit like hangman where you guess letters for a word. He comes down to N_GGERS with the hint, "people who annoy you." He doesn't want to say the N word, then he does, for the money. But the correct answer is naggers. So, he is harassed all over town. I'm at 13 minutes now and they have a "little person" (vertically challenged) giving a sensitivity talk to the kids.
I don't think I'll watch the rest of it. So, if you hear the phrase, "the nigger guy" it refers to the guy on the game show.

Absurd. No further description is needed. Links work. Could be an interesting comment, but you forgot to add anything intelligent.

So this is what, an open thread where we can discuss any old crap we've seen on basic cable?

Phaedon, you might want to remember that not all of us have youtube accounts, so the actual episode (since it's been flagged) isn't widely available. Unless someone wants to post a common login, that is.

Here's a link to a fairly in depth episode recap on tv.com. There aren't many articles on the episode out there, mostly videos of the Wheel of Fortune scene.

It's kind of cute when a cartoon Jesse Jackson demands the guy apologize by literally kissing his black ass, as the saying goes. Then some rednecks in a pickup with roll bars find the guy by the road one night. They are going to get him with I think I saw a shotgun, but then other people who have said the N word (Michael Richards from Seinfeld and some guy from the OJ trial) and they say, "What is this, a nigger-guy convention." 19 minutes now and I guess I should wait 3 more minutes for the final punchlines, if any.

Such as this totally awesome take down of Al Gore where they prove global warming is a bunch of B.S!
Please, south park is ridiculous.
