Cartoon Violence
'South Park' Enacts The Worst Britney Case Scenario
After a touching season premiere in which Cartman learns he's been accidentally infected with HIV, South Park decided to lighten things up in the second episode of their 12th season by having Britney Spears put a shotgun in her mouth and blow off 70% of her head. (Don't worry—she lives!)
Context is everything in these matters, however, and what may seem at first like an irresponsible invitation to the unthinkable was actually a stinging indictment of what you, the celebrity-self-destruction-as-spectator-bloodsport fan, are reaping upon the sad and empty pop star husk Spears become. (Poignantly represented by a lower jaw standing behind a recording studio microphone).

I don't think an episode of South Park has ever made me want to cry before, but last night's... fuck.

I'm not sure what this says about me, but the only thing haunting me after this clip is why the fuck Butters is in a squirrel costume.
Also, I'd like to reserve the table in hell next to Matt and Trey, because last week's "I'm not just sure. I'm HIV-positive" made me laugh out loud. Fuck. I'm a horrible person.

It was painful genius.
Only thing even close is Scott Tinerman's Hitchcockian realization that he'd just consumed his parents.
It's a rare thing to have a cartoon force you to re-examine what it means to be a human being.
Bravo, Trey & Matt.

Painfully genius of them to crib Chuck Palahniuk's 1999 novel "Invisible Monsters."

@ophthalmologist: You mean in that a girl who get horribly injured ends up in the hospital? You're right, it's uncanny!

@ophthalmologist: The second half of the episode was ripped pretty much verbatim from Shirley Jackson's short story "The Lottery".

@TheStarterWife: Me too. Parts of it were funny but it was hard to watch -- I got weepy.

@heidiho: Butters was dressed up as a squirrel because they wants to get a picture of Britney taking a crap on him.

@Superawesomerad: That's exactly what I thought of during the death/back to normal life scenes. Finally, 'The Lottery' applies to modern life.
And the episode was unusually sad.

If Defamer was a TV show, it would be South Park.
