This is one of the finest South Park episodes produced in recent history. My favorite part would have to be the sequence of late-night talk show hosts presenting the joke in their distinctive ways. Jay Leno is probably the best: “Aparently more and more Americans are eating fishsticks, have-you-seen-this-have-you-read-about-this? Loving fishsticks… Kinda makes me wonder, you know, What is everybody— a gay fish?!”
Kanye West has watched the episode, and aparently he’s been deeply touched. He shares some heartfelt musings on his blog. The thrust of his message: “I JUST WANNA BE A DOPER PERSON WHICH STARTS WITH ME NOT ALWAYS TELLING PEOPLE HOW DOPE I THINK I AM.”
Baby steps, Kanye.
