SomaCow Media is proud to present SomaCow, brought to you in this hour by Casey’s of Downtown Orlando – Join Mickey, J, Elross, and thousands of potential partiers as they celebrate the aging of listeners, the completion of 300 episodes, the taste of popcorn, the sweetness of booze, and the gnarled temper of Jeff Howell’s beer soaked guitar. It’ll be huge, I know it, and I may drive by and throw out a free iPhone or something.
In this hour, we discussed fanatics, cartoons in general, and Mail Order scammery from yesteryear.
I spent a good portion of this hour railing against Matt and Trey of South Park for their confusion of humor with sub-humanity. We all celebrate schadenfrueden, silliness, celebrity spoofery, and a good kick to the nuts, but I had a really hard time getting past an episode they did last year featuring Cartman and Butters engaging in oral sexual abuse. Simply put, I don’t think joking about sex abuse is hysterically funny, and I, for the first time in my life, was genuinely offended by something I watched. Not enough to write a letter to the President, just mad enough to bitch about it on an internet radio show, and then later, in a blog describing that show.
So Wednesday I turned on the TV, figuring Mickey was right (he rarely isn’t), and I should see what the guys at South Park are up to.
5th grade girls giving blow jobs in TGIF’s parking lot. 5th grade (and younger) girls demanding they be allowed to perform oral sex on the Judas Brothers.
Yeah. Funny.
Oh, Geoff! They were making a point about Disney’s sexualization of American youth!
Yeah. Valiant.
Oh, Geoff! They were satirizing to bring attention to the plaque of underage sex.
Yeah. Promethian.
Face it. Trey and Matt are dicks. Anyone greenlighting that show is a dick. You, if you watched it, thought it was fine, and are staring at these words thinking, “Prissy fat chump whiner”, are an excellent judge of my character, but you also like dicks.
The 70 foot fire breathing Mickey Mouse wasn’t even able to save this show. South Park = Over. Life’s too short to bring that shit into your house.
If you get a chance, check out the live show this week! We’ll be celebrating our 300th episode, and most probably talking about food. I don’t know why, it just happens.
Thanks for your time!

Just call me “Dick” then. South Park is still funny, and unlike the other animated offerings, relevant after all these years. It’s crude, but no worse than the other animated offerings (The Simpsons, Family Guy, King of the Hill, or American Dad). It’s also a show that forces you to think because, honestly, if you’ve ever been offended by anything Matt and Trey did on that show, you didn’t get it.
