Kristi Noem, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, appeared on Glenn Beck’s radio show and slammed “South Park” as “so lazy” and “petty” after she became the Comedy Central series’ latest target.
“It never ends, but it’s so lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look,” Noem told Beck about the episode, while also acknowledging she did not watch it because she was “going over budget numbers and stuff.”
“It’s always the liberals and the extremists who do that,” Noem added. “If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can’t, they just pick something petty like that.”
You’d think that forcing a kid to unknowingly eat his parents’ remains, then licking his tears; smiling at a video of the 3rd reich (which was supposed to make him learn that nazism was bad) and dressing as hitler; yelling “FUCK JESUS!” in front a christian crowd just because he lost a bet, there would already be loads of undeniable proof of how much Cartman’s a piece of shit (lovable as a character, terrible as a real human)
You’d think so, but Cartman never thinks he’s a piece of shit for that.
Him basically saying, “Hey, these guys are dickheads, that’s my thing,” specifically calling people that imitiate him out as trash, is a little more on the nose imo.
Again, I’m talking about targeting an audience with no media literacy. The ones that think South Park is funny because Cartman is funny.
