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!
