10 Disgusting Times South Park Went Too Far

It's the answer to the age old question: if I put food up my butt, will I crap out my mouth?

In South Park's world, yes, of course you do. Cartman ponders on this conundrum, tries it and succeeds. Kyle subsequently loses a bet, a source of antagonism between the pair. The world becomes obsessed with this new way of eating as it's supposed to be healthier (although the surgeon general's evidence is self confessed to be based "on absolutely nothing").

It all just serves as a means of showing the likes of Martha Stewart going on TV, preparing and sitting on, before engulfing, a whole turkey. That's all very big and clever, but it's the subsequent scenes of people pooping out of their mouths and into baskets that leave a nasty taste, no pun intended.

Of course, that in itself serves as a metaphor for people "talking crap", specifically about the usual vague and clichéd view points spouted by agnostics and atheists regarding religion.

The bottom line (no pun intended) is even if it's a better way to eat, it's still gross and immature. Who could argue with that?
