If you missed the two-part series of South Park over the
past two weeks, there are a lot of great gems.
The first four minutes of the first part are a great take on
free speech, freedom of the press, and the problems of the current trendy
version of political correctness in school. The topic recurs several times, so watch the
whole episode if you have time.
Starting at about 4:30 there is a great rant about click
bait social media ads. One of the dads describes a rabbit hole they took him on
against his wishes and distracting him away from what he was supposed to be
doing.
At 8:48, there is also a short parody of political debates.
Totally different subject, so this might be something for a whole different set
of you to check out. But funny.
Then the main story goes through a funny conspiracy theory
of consumer marketers and ad agencies that are taking over the world through
clickbait. It gets a little over the top
in the second part, so you might want to stop after just the first part. But if you have the stomach for it, go through
the second one as well.
In particular, check out minute 10 of the second part. That
is a good parody of sponsored content too.
Oh, and trigger warning – lots of sex talk and swearing.
Mature audiences only.
