Last Wednesday's South Park episode (#901 - Die, Hippies, Die) was just great. All these hippies come to town to organize a big music festival and hilarity ensues. As usual, the material was fodder for some insightful political commentary. Here's a scene from Day 6 at the Woodstock-esque event:

Stan:

So it seems like we have enough people now, when do we start taking down the corporations?

Hippie #1:

Yeah, man, the corporations! Right now they're raping the world for money!

Kyle (wearing a Che Guevara t-shirt):

Yeah, so where are they? Let's go get 'em!

Hippie #2:

Right now, we're proving we don't need corporations. We don't need money. This can become a commune where everyone just helps each other.

Hippie #1:

Yeah, we'll have one guy who like, who like makes bread, and one guy, who like, looks out for other people's safety.

Stan:

You mean like a baker and a cop?

Hippie #2:

No, no, can't you imagine a place where people live together and, like, provide services for each other in exchange for their services?

Kyle:

Yeah, it's called a town.

Hippie #3:

You kids just haven't been to college yet.

There was even a scene where hippies berated the 4th-graders, calling them "little Eichmanns" for selling magazine subscriptions at school. "We just spent our first semester in college. Our professors opened our eyes!" Pure genius!

Gee, tonight was the worst night of my life. I really hated being in an Executive skybox at the United Center to watch the Bulls game.

Oh wait, it wasn't the worst time ever - it was fucking awesome. A big "HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!!!" goes out to people who are not me.
