I don't know if anyone else still watches this show - but when new episodes come out you can bet your ass the Flatlined guys have put everything on hold to watch it. We have canceled shows before so we don't miss the new premier. ha ha ha.

This weeks new episode was about Cartman getting aids. *Spoiler Alert* - I want to talk about the social commentary, and it requires discussion of certain plot points:

So in the episode the kids find the cure for AIDS is cash. I think its fucking genius once again. These guys look at a subject from all sides and write it all from a kids perspective making the whole practice innocent and easy to take. So the best part of the episode would be an American in Africa yelling at some locals that all it takes to cure AIDS is about 180 000 dollars... Which is pretty true these days. I mean whens the last time anyone did give a fuck about AIDS? I know within the band all we do is joke about the disease... Matt and Trey were right - its just not fashionable anymore... And if rich people like Magic are still living with the disease then it stands to reason that with enough money AIDS isn't a big deal...
