No matter how hot the political temperature, Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s show can be counted on to go for the jugular. And with Brendan Carr in a mountain of poo and Israel’s PM in its sights, the latest episode doesn’t pull any punches

I read about the episode in the guardian and it did not sound all that risque to justify the title here.

It sounded kind of funny though, did not sound like it touched on the fact that Netanyahu is a fucking Nazi, that the Israelis are Nazis, and openly supporting Nazis in other Western countries. I would consider those issues going there but that's just because I live in fucking reality.

Just a standard (western?) 'stern Jewish mother' joke.

It's not exactly a comedic achievement.

It was so non-comedic it makes me think they prob just wanted to have their opinion out in public ("now").

Its south park. They get a few chuckles out of most but isnt too groundbreaking if you are informed.

I'm of your view but I wonder if it'll cause some public crashouts anyways stemming from persecution fetishes.
