South Park

All the games I mentioned were solo. That's the point.

Alternately, get a literal punching bag or speedball.

Don't those things kill you?

No.

"At first I thought they were going to be neutral about the election, but now it's looking like they really are supporting Clinton, even if they're calling her a robot."

I wonder if some things come down from Comedy Central and not even Trey Parker and Matt Stone can directly go against.

To put it another way: I've got a friend in broadcast news. She's fairly conservative (fairly rare in that vocation if you don't work for Fox), voted Bush and plans to vote Johnson this time, though she claims she's neutral on Trump. She says there's an unwritten mandate that came down from high up that nobody is to say anything positive about a candidate who isn't Clinton, either on air or on social media, or it's their job.

Illegal as that probably is, the mere threat is enough to keep people toeing the line, especially when nobody really knows what people really think when there's a chilling effect in place.

Or you can look at what happened to that Oculus Rift guy who was outed as a Trump supporter and donor. A lot of people trying to ruin him, harassed his girlfriend. I'm not a conservative, at least not in the traditional sense, but that's a real f'ed up state of democracy when that's happening,

So, really I'm not surprised they're going with a Trump expy and of they are going pretty soft on Hillary.

I was talking about the typo you made with "speedball", which is also a name for a huge wad of drugs that can kill you.

She's being portrayed as unlikable and incompetent. I think people are overreaching on this one. These are the people who said you have to make fun of everything or it doesn't work.

But it had Mr. Garrison say over and over again to vote for her and everyone else just being too dumb to listen. That was pretty supportive.

Doesn't that heighten how much of a turd sandwich she is? That Garrison literally cannot lose if he tried because of how bad she is?

But Clinton is a lot smarter than that...

I guess my point is that this is once again, a Giant Douche vs a Turd Sandwich, and they're your only two choices. Neither looks good.

As for the Cartman subplot, you know that the second he gets back online he will go right back to his old self.

He never changed. His attempts at goodness are extremely inept at best.

It's only one episode in. Maybe he becomes the mask but is driven back online and back to his old habits. Or maybe the whole thing is a metaphor for desperation for human contact and when they go back online both have a "What the hell was I thinking?!" moment.

Hedgehog's Dilemma? In South Park?

x6 It does not, because the people who were switching to him were because of what he said instead of something she did, which was portrayed as stupid and frivolous, making the idea of voting for Garrison stupid and frivolous.

Meanwhile Hillary is an incompetent robot whose only plan of attack is calling her opponent a liar.

Make fun of everyone. That's the only way this works.

Indeed.

Pretty much saying one guy is a complete moron but is liked for being truly honest compare to other candidates and the other is a competent leader but also just yet another cog who does and believes whatever the political party dictates.

Pretty much a neutral approach on the issue.

@The Handle I do have a punching bag. It's a shame the guy punch me back everytime I hit him. He is a punching bag after all

I still don't completely trust Cartman when he says he thinks female comedians are funny.

Let's just see where this goes.

Given Treymattst's libertarian, intelligent and creative approach towards issues based on bullshit, and that both candidates are screwing up immensely inside the show, and how they're both literally being called a Giant Douche and Turd Sandwich...

I'd say the creators are supporting neither.

Moral: Nothing changes no matter who you vote for.

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution. Take a bow for the new revolution. Smile and grin at the change all around. Pick up my guitar and play Just like yesterday. Then I'll get on my knees and pray. We don't get fooled again

So yesterday's episode was a swing and a miss for me. I dig them making fun of twitter, but everything about the Presidential Campaign has been pretty lame. "Everything sucks" felt like a copout stance.

Yeah, it almost becomes an insult loop back where Garrison winds up seemingly more qualified because he gains some self awareness over the turd sandwich who doesn't even realize how unqualified it is.

But then I voted for Kodos.

I'm saying it now. The bit with the laptops is a foreshadowing of Eric's arc this season. He's legitimately trying to change but nobody believing it is going to drive him right back to his old ways.

Though if memberberries turn out to have been made by him... (j/k, they're probably made by the whole foods and ads to get people to buy more)

Or if Cartman gets his hands on the member berries, maybe he'll revert back to his old ways.

I don't think Cartman has any interest in the member berries.
