South Park: Hitting the Nail on the Head


A synopsis:
South Park's liberals party in the streets while the conservatives shut themselves into a fallout shelter, appropriately named The Ark. When they awake in the morning, the conservatives open the door of The Ark to find that the world hasn't changed. They emerge slightly ashamed at how they over-reacted. Meanwhile, the liberals wake up with a hangover, and they too find that the world hasn't changed. Rubbing his head and looking for his pants, Randy Marsh is pissed off and slightly ashamed at how he thought things would be so different.

A perfect commentary on how one word, "Change", can inspire half a nation, yet scare the hell out of the rest.

  1. >>"Change", can inspire half a nation
    Hahahaha that's great. You say "inspire" I would say "hypnotized" or "lead like sheep", better yet: Lead like lemmings to the impending cliff we are about to tumble off of.
    Is there a more meaningless, less substantive word than "Change". A verb requires a noun. This is going to be the topic of my next post...
