A lot of crazy stuff happens in South Park, and a sad but convincing fan theory involving Kenny's recurring deaths and the character of Tweek explains why South Park's universe is so elastic and weird. For those who don't know, Tweek is the gang's cynical classmate who is constantly twitching, jittery, and paranoid about everything, but he is relatively calm when he's alone. The theory proposes that Tweek was originally a shy kid who gradually loses his mind during unwanted social interactions. During a forced play date with Kenny, Tweek witnesses Kenny die in a gruesome manner and that sets him off into a schizophrenic spiral where he ends up confined in a mental institution. Whilst confined, Tweek dreamed up an imaginary world where he was accepted and everything is calm: South Park. However, his illness meant that even his imaginary world becomes warped, resulting in him being constantly haunted by Kenny's death and why South Park can get pretty crazy at times. Damn, when you think about it, those poor kids in South Park really do go through some serious stuff.
My life story is nothing special. I haven't cured ebola, I'm nowhere near stopping terrorism, and I'm still working on that climate change problem.
Instead, all I've done so far is put a few hundred words together in an attempt to make people laugh.
You can follow me at @Fry_ying_pan but don't be offended if I don't tweet back. It's usually because I've spent too long trying to think up a witty response that the reply window has closed.
