You pretty much nailed it. Wish I could give you more stars. The author was too caught up in their own beliefs to actually see the narrative the episode was telling. The trans issue and the PC babies thing is actually more of the subplot of the episode. The real driving narrative was the Cartman story line and the…

Yeah, it was definitely not my favorite episode this season either.  

I was about to post something similar. Semenya isn’t trans, in that she has always identified as female and was raised as female, and her assigned gender is female. The complication, as far as her athletics eligibility is concerned, is that she has an intersex condition which means she has element of both male and…

I just can’t agree with a lot of your review. While this is an issue South Park maybe should have avoided, I ended up thinking they did a relatively enlightened job based on how I watched the episode. This is going to be TL:DR post, but what the hell:

I don’t understand how daytime soaps don’t have a huge value to streaming services. Perpetual bingeable content with an unparalleled backlog of episodes? They make entire platforms out of that.

For God’s sake, this is an article about the Simpsons and “pobody’s nerfect” was staring you right in the face! That comment’s clever...just like you! Hmm? Hmm?

I caught this elsewhere. Basically, the correct discount was to get like, 2 Whopper Jrs for $4, 2 Whoppers for $5, and 2 Double Whoppers for $6 I think. What happened was, on TOP of that, they were applying the “meal” discounts if you bought fries + drink, when those should have been regular price.

I have a Vanna White story. So I was flying from LA to Dallas and she was in the seat next to me. So we make small talk, she sees I’m reading a book she had just finished and did the whole “oh wait until you get to the part.....”. Anyway the plane is just about finished boarding an in walks Rush Limbaugh. We both make…

Okay, but like, what was the mistake, and how did it happen?  All I see in the article is something about stacking discounts, but nothing about what the discounts were, or where that $8 million ended up.

But it sounds like they’re not entirely adverse to adding ads if you want to pay less, it’s only a matter of time.

Agreed. 

Good rule of thumb for understanding our laws: imagine the reaction of, say, an old Lutheran minister of, oh, about 75 years of age. If it would be the kind of thing that would make him inveigh about “kids these days”, then we’ve almost certainly at least tried to make it illegal. If it would make him think “darn…

It’s a little ridiculous that Kraftwerk aren’t in already, considering how influential they are (and yes, they’re obviously not “rock and roll” but that’s increasingly true of the acts that get added).

Still no Weird Al, huh?

D-R-I-N-K-Y-O-U-R-O-V-A-L-T-I-N-E

It’s way better than mine was. Before the inspectors shut mine down, my park’s motto was “You can’t spell ‘amusement’ without ‘semen’”

When I first read the headline, I thought “Oh a challenge!” and now that I have listened to it, I’m of the opinion maybe some mysteries should remain mysteries.

Good luck to him. Alcoholism sucks. 

So chimpanzees invented, um, gorilla war?
