Isn't that one of the obscure rules of "South Park"? I think a character is allowed to say "fag" if that character is gay, but they bleep it out if a character who is not gay says "fag." And there's some kind of in-joke where Jimbo, who's ostensibly straight, doesn't get his "fag" bleeped out.

(… I think if I finish that sentence, the FBI's gonna put me on a list.)

I did a Google Image seach on the machine gun, and it does appear that she fires one in the movie. I stand corrected, or cockpunched, or whatever censure the kids are meting out these days.

Nor is it a .50-caliber machine gun. But I haven't actually seen the movie, so WTF do I know? I'm unemployed.

I am the Avenging Unemployed Copy Editor, and I approve of this thread.

Really?
