I just finished an episode of South Park entitled "An Elephant Makes Love To A Pig". Although there are a lot of sexist comments in many episodes, there are more than the normal amount in this one. One of the characters, Cartman, talks about how he would deal with a woman who wanted to fight him. He says "I would never let a woman kick my a**. If she tried something, I'd be like 'Hey you get your b**** a** back in the kitchen and make me some pie!'" This is a very sexist statement and demeaning towards women. He also says "If some sissy chick tried to kick my a** I would say 'hey, missy, go knit me a sweater before I slap you in the face!'" Both of these statements are sexist and very rude in general, but specifically towards women In the first statement Cartman says he would make the woman go back to the kitchen, which is a stereotypical thing for a man to thing. A lot of society views women as the ones who cook meals for a family. South Park has a lot of rude, sexist, and racist jokes and comments.

  1. Mike, do you think the "rude, sexist, and racist jokes and comments" are there simply for humor or do you think the writers of South Park are making some larger statement. Do you see any irony, for example?
