"South Park" this week

First of all, if Verizon Wireless would ever offer it as a ringtone, I'd love one of Bono going "YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! YEAH! Hellooo helloooo" like he did when he answered the phone in this episode.

Second of all....I can't help but wonder if Trey and Matt ripped off the idea of a giant shit-baby from the lost Ren and Stimpy episode, "Stimpy is Pregnant." (Generally, similar idea. Stimpy thought he was pregnant, but by the time he "gave birth," it turned out he was just reeeeally constipated. In the end, the doctor shaped the giant turd into a baby. The grossest episode of "Ren and Stimpy" yet...not my favorite.)

I think it was another case of "Simpsons already did it", but with Ren and Stimpy.

*ha ha* I'm waiting for John K to rip Trey and Matt a new one, if he even WATCHES "South Park."

I don't think it was a direct rip-off. It was more of an unintentional remix. I think there are only so many ways you can go with a poo joke. Incorporating Bono was their flourish. Also, John K. hates South Park because he feels like the animation is lazy and it damages cartoons as an art form when animation is done lazily. Peeeee...
