Kristi Noem, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, appeared on Glenn Beck’s radio show and slammed “South Park” as “so lazy” and “petty” after she became the Comedy Central series’ latest target.

“It never ends, but it’s so lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look,” Noem told Beck about the episode, while also acknowledging she did not watch it because she was “going over budget numbers and stuff.”

“It’s always the liberals and the extremists who do that,” Noem added. “If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can’t, they just pick something petty like that.”

You'd think so, but Cartman never thinks he's a piece of shit for that.

Him basically saying, "Hey, these guys are dickheads, that's my thing," specifically calling people that imitiate him out as trash, is a little more on the nose imo.

Again, I'm talking about targeting an audience with no media literacy. The ones that think South Park is funny because Cartman is funny.
