10 Disgusting Times South Park Went Too Far
10. Bloody Mary
A statue of the Virgin Mary appears to be weeping blood from out its butt.
It's a fantastic parody of the notion that holy relics weeping and bleeding are indicative of something bad happening in the world. From that "miracle" people conclude that these relics must hold divine properties, able to help solve or cure their problems.
That's lucky for Randy who, through a series of events, believes he has the terrible, incurable, disease: alcoholism. Self-confined to a wheelchair, Stan helps his dad reach the statue in order to receive its blessing, which he gets, right in the face.
Blood to the face from the backside is none too pleasant, but, luckily, it seems to work, because through divine intervention Randy manages to stand up and throw away the bottle, declaring: "I'm not going to drink this". Cause for celebration, indeed.
A lot of folks get a bloody dousing, complete with a comical squelchy sound effect. This includes an hilarious scene featuring the Pope, which marvellously parodies the Looney Tunes, complete with music and sound effects.
The Pope declares that it is not a miracle (you have to watch to find out why; it's gross, sexist, and pretty funny), but just nasty.
