I'm not laughing. That show got old real fast. I think most people I know stopped watching it in 1999.

But you haven't seen the episode yet. None of us has. Tell us your opinion after you've seen it.

Sorry, Burzum, that thread must have scrolled off page 1 of this section. I recommend everyone follow his link (2nd post of this thread) and continue discussion there. Moderator, feel free to lock this thread.

“South Park” is known for pushing the limits, having faced criticism in the past for controversial episodes about everything from Jesus Christ to sex education and various racial and ethnic groups.

South Park is an equal-oppurtunity comedy show. I can't say this any more or less disturbing and/or funny than anything else that has been made fun of in the show. The writers do know how to write good satire, for example the whale wars episode.

Hope I can catch it.

All they did was make a joke about the name. I'm guessing Cartman finds out he can get away with s**t because of Aspergers, and he thinks that it's literately having burgers in your ass because of the name.

All of you who condemn the episode without seeing it first are just as bad as Isaac Hayes for quitting the show for having an episode that slammed Scientology.

Blessed are those who can laugh at themselves, for they shall never cease to be amused.

I think the premise of the episode is not to make fun of us, but to highlight the fact that perhaps not enough people are as fully aware of ASDs and their impact than we would like.

Before the show aired, I thought there was going to be at least some jab at Autism Speaks.

This show is for 8 year olds...seriously. Now I know why I haven't watched it in 12 years.
