Monday's episode was the worst ever. A 30-minute campaign commercial for fetal research, it totally forgot that South Park is supposed to be a comedy. Instead, we got long-winded pontification about how wonderful stem-cell research is.

Oh, yes, it is so daring and courageous to use the phrase "aborted fetuses (or feti)" over and over again. Not.

As often, I couldn't tell whether the greatest impact will be to promote fetal research, or to mock it, but I really don't care. The point is that the episode was about as unfunny as Chicago Hope.

Are you talking about the episode with Christopher Reeves?

If so you totally missed the point of the episode and the devestating humor used against Reeves.

Was that the Reeves episode?

If it was you got the point ass backwards.

Umm...Wouldn't really call a fetus-sucking fiend a great spokesman for fetal stem-cell research. Check that security setting on your irony filter! ;)

Was it the Reeves episode or the one where Cartman uses fetal cells to clone a Shakey's?

Oh dear... You sooo missed the point. For crying out loud, Eric talks a pregnant woman who actually wants her baby into killing her infant to save Kenny because she can just make another one.

His only motive is to make money, and only promotes research because he can profit from from all the fetuses he found. And make a Shakeys.

OK - if you don't get that.... Maybe you aren't clear on this. Cartman isn't the hero in South Park, he's the villian. ;~D
