South Park
on Comedy
Central
Episode Summary
WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT
In the March 11th
episode of Comedy Central’s South Park (Wednesdays, 10:00 p.m. ET), the
creators of the perennially vile show Trey Parker and Matt Stone take a swipe at
the Jonas Brothers and the Walt Disney corporation for allegedly marketing sex
to young girls. Matt and Trey have no moral ground to stand on, having profited
from the corruption of young people for over a decade. For hypocritically
criticizing purity rings as a marketing ploy while airing sexually explicit
content aimed at its young male viewers, South Park has been named
Worst Cable TV Show of the Week.
The show begins with the
South Park gang agog at the fact that Kenny has found himself a girlfriend,
Tammy. Kenny’s friends, however, feel compelled to warn him that she has a
tarnished reputation. Cartman informs him, “Kenny, your girlfriend is a
notorious whore. She even gave a kid named Dave Darsky a BJ in the parking lot
of TGI Fridays…Your girlfriend's a slut, dude.” Upon hearing the news, Kenny
jumps for joy.
Tammy confesses that the
rumors are true. She explains, “But it was before you and I were together and
it wasn't my fault. See, I was watching the Disney channel and that show came on
with the Jonas Brothers…You know, that teenage boy band. Every time I see them I
get so tingly…I just completely lose control. And then Dave Darsky showed up and
took me to TGI Fridays. And it just happened. But it was only for one second and
I had my eyes closed. I know it's terrible. Can you forgive me, Ken?” Kenny
more than forgives her – he buys her tickets to see the Jonas Brothers live in
concert. Before the performance, Kenny buys condoms in anticipation of
receiving oral sex. (By the way, the main characters in this program are in the
fourth grade.)
At the concert, the Jonas
Brothers perform songs about abstinence. Nevertheless, the young girls in the
audience are whipped into a frenzy. One little girl coos, “My ‘gina tingles.”
And tween girls aren’t the only ones in the audience. A gay man is shown
rubbing his genitals in the stands while the Brothers rock the stage. After the
concert, Tammy announces, “Oh, my God. I’m so worked up. I just want to attack
you, Kenny!” Kenny rushes to get to the parking lot, but an attendant invites
Tammy backstage to meet the Brothers. When one fan asks why the Brothers
brought them backstage, a more mature young fan explains, “They called us back
here so we can give them bl******.” The girls insist that they would never do
that even for their favorite rock stars. But as soon as the Brothers enter the
room, their mouths pucker open. The Brothers, though, aren’t interested in
sex. They ask the girls to wear purity rings, signifying their commitment to
remain abstinent until marriage.
While Tammy and Kenny agree
to wear the rings, the Jonas Brothers start to express misgivings about wearing
them. Their defiance ignites the ire of their corporate master – Mickey Mouse.
“You have to wear purity
rings,” Mickey explains, “because that's how we sell sex to little girls.”
Mickey points to a poster from Jonas Brothers: the 3-D Concert Movie and
continues, “See, if we make the posters of little girls reaching for your junk
then you have to wear purity rings or Disney Company looks bad.”
Nick Jonas complains, “But
we don't want to be selling sex to little girls anymore.” He threatens to not
take the stage.
Mickey punches Nick in the
crotch and kicks his face until blood pours out while he screams, “You don't [
bleeped ‘f***ing’] talk to me like that. You don't talk to me like that. You
little piece of [bleeped ‘s***’!] Get the [bleeped ‘f***’ up!]!”
The Jonas Brothers agree to
perform and Mickey commands, “Now get out there and make me some go***** money.”
The Brothers promote their
upcoming concert on a morning talk show. The host comments, “It's good that
little girls can see a concert and not have it be about sex. Now at the concert
tonight, you'll be dousing Girls in white foam is that correct...Can you give
our audience a peek? What do you say, girls? Do you want the Jonas Brothers to
douse you with their white foam?” The Brothers spray white foam onto the
audience of little girls. The Host asks the audience, “You like taking the
Jonas Brothers' hot foam in your faces, girls?”
The Cartman, Stan, and Kyle
disrupt the morning show and blame the purity rings for turning Kenny into a
bore. Mickey Mouse thinks that Kenny’s friends are moles for DreamWorks.
Backstage before the concert, he threatens to torture them with a chainsaw
unless they admit that they plan to sabotage the event. During Mickey’s tirade,
Stan turns up the mic and broadcasts Mickey’s foul remarks to the concert goers
and viewers watching at home. Mickey screams, “You three fa***** are going
onstage and you three fa***** aren't going to stop me. Nobody is ruining this
event! I have worked too long and too hard to have anybody [bleeped ‘f***’]
this up! Where would you be without me Jonas Brothers? Your music sucks and
you know it! It's because you make little girls' gina's tickle. And when little
girls' gina's tickle, I make money. And that's because little girls are [bleeped
‘f***ing’] stupid. And the purity rings make it okay to do whatever I want. Even
the Christians are too [bleeped ‘f***ing’] stupid to figure out I'm selling sex
to their daughters! I’ve made billions off of Christian ignorance for decades
now. And do you know why? Because Christians are retarded. They believe in a
talking dead guy!” The ensuing backlash against the Mickey Mouse and the Disney
Company supposedly assures that the purity rings will be a marketing failure.
How can such a vile show
that targets adolescent males, despite being rated for mature audiences only,
possibly accuse anyone else of crass marketing? While the show’s creators
cynically dismiss the positive messages that the Jonas Brothers promote, they
cash in on countless merchandise – video games, T-shirts, DVDs – that teach
young men to be as morally bankrupt as they are.
For foul language, explicit
sexual content, and brazen hypocrisy South Park has been named
Worst Cable TV Show of the Week.
