This week's South Park "Butt Out"

- was freakin GREAT.

This is why I love this show, they're always on the edge of culture looking at things from a different perspective. As a smoker, and with Dalton "Professional Asshat" McGunity going to ban smoking throughout Ontario, it was nice to see something that stuck it to the anti-smoking side for a change.

While I don't know much about Meathead leading the anti-smoking crusade, it was really funny to see him ranting about the unhealthy dangers of smoking while he spent the whole episode stuffing his face with cheesburgers, steak and chocolate cake. "My precious goo, ahhhhh!!" While they took it way WAY over the top by making his henchmen vampires, that's what made it funny because the anti-smoking groups were so unrepentantly evil. I've come to believe that South Park is even more harsher on ultra-liberals than they are on conservatives, but they're always really funny and its good to see a different opinion out there. his best exchange was with the guy smoking in the bar

MEATHEAD: (smelling a smoker in the bar) *cough cough, hack hack* Excuse me!

SMOKER: Yes?

MEATHEAD: WOULD YOU MIND PUTTING THAT DEATH-STICK OUT?!

SMOKER: But...this is a bar.

MEATHEAD: Isn't smoking illegal in bars here?!

BARTENDER: Not in Colorado.

MEATHEAD: OH. MY. GOD. What kind of backward hick state is this?!

SMOKER: Look man, I work 14 hours a day at the saw-mill. I just got off work and I need to relax.

MEATHEAD: Well when *I* relax I just go to my vacation house in Hawaii!

SMOKER: I ain't GOT a vacation house in Hawaii!

MEATHEAD: Yer vacation house in Mexico then! Whatever it is!! Look, you are putting MY LIFE and these boys lives in danger by smoking that in here! And I'M not going to tollerate it! I will end smoking in bars in Colorado!! THERE WILL BE NO MORE SMOKING!! *eats cheeseburger*

CARTMAN: *indicating Meathead* Isn't he awesome, you guys?

STAN: What?!

CARTMAN: Dude, he just goes around imposing his will on people! He's my idol.

but my favourite part had to be the song that the people working for Big Tobacco were singing:

I like to have a cigarette every now and then
It makes me feel calmer when the day is at an end
And if it gives me cancer when I'm 80 I don't care
Who the hell wants to be 90 anyway?

for anyone who has bit torrent go ahead and download the episode at www.mrtwig.net enjoy.

I loved it, considering Meathead is responsible for the campaigns and political payouts that got a $2 per tin tax on chewing tobacco/dip in CA ( I don't chew or dip, but it goes to show you he isn't really concerned about "second hand" anything) as well as our cigarette taxes.
