'South Park' TKOs Occupy Wall Street

Leave it to Cartman to give Occupy Wall Street a much needed dose of reality.

Cartman, the foul-mouthed lad from Comedy Central’s “South Park,” savaged the nascent movement during last night’s new episode.

The story involved Cartman’s girth throwing off the school’s score in a standardized physical fitness test. The students swiftly rebel against Cartman, the one percenter who wrecked the results of the remaining 99 percent. Cartman becomes a target at school, and he rushes home to his mother for consolation.

“Don’t you get it, Mom? People voted for Obama, and now that everything sucks they have to blame me!” he wails.

In case the show’s message didn’t hit home there, the show’s writers flipped the race card on its ear moments later.

Cartman opts to hide out in the home of Token, one of the school’s few black students, for protection against the violent 99 percent mob.

“In today’s times, black people are somehow incapable of doing anything wrong,” Cartman says to explain why he chose Token’s house and not the homes of his school chums.

But Cartman wasn’t finished with South Park’s version of OWS quite yet.

“You wanna know why you’re protesting? It’s cuz you’re pissed off, but you actually think it’s wrong to be pissed off at a black President, so you’re pissed off at me,” he whines.

In between Cartman’s rants, “class warfare” breaks out between fourth and fifth graders, the media obsesses on two protestors as if they were a thousand and a slovenly Michael Moore makes a brief, unflattering appearance.

No episode of “South Park” is far away from a scatological gag, and last night’s story involved an “occupied” bathroom with a rather “big movement.”

Yuck.

It’s the price grown-ups pay for savoring the show’s politically incorrect humor most satirists won’t touch.
