Shortly before opening, Casa Bonita’s new owners Matt Stone and Trey Parker decided to eliminate tipping and instead pay workers a flat wage of $30 per hour.

Now I could be wrong, but getting a an hourly wage as a restaurant worker is FAR better than relying on tips. I feel like either workers in this situation are too obsessed with tips or there’s huge context missing.

      Representing global warming as the Manbearpig as if it's some imaginary threat was a bold move, but also a very dumb one.

      At least they acknownledged that mistake in later episodes, but they still have a lot of reactionary takes like in the episode about plant based burgers.

        Also they apologized for one of their full length episodes dedicated to shitting onnpeople who care about climate change.

        They bring up anything about the episode where they said the smugness of people who care about climate change is worse than the actual effects of climate change.

        Where people who wanted electric vehicles were so obsessed with sniffing their own farms it caused a storm like in the day after tomorrow.

          Ah yes I forgot about that episode, it was so stupid.

      This is an interesting example. They actually did a whole episode where they admitted they were wrong about Al Gore 15 years ago and have been discussing climate change in different ways since. In this age where no one ever admits to being wrong about anything, I thought it was refreshing and rather brave indeed.

        You dont have to agree with everything they do

        You talk in very interesting cliches, I will simply give 0 credit to the South Park goons

          "You talk in very interesting cliches, I will simply give 0 credit to the South Park goons"

          This kind of intransigence seems to me to show an inability for nuance and intellectual abstraction. Personally, I think it's this kind of attitude that has led to political cleavage and radicalization in recent years, and ultimately to the popularity of monstrous figures like Trump.

            I think right-wing propaganda, like TV shows watched by children that tell the viewer climate change isn't real, trans people are monsters and it's okay to use homophobic slurs, is much more heavily responsible for the rise of Trump, actually

              If you think SP is right-wing progaganda, you are as intellectually deep as people who think school are full of drag-queens. You really really didn't get the point of the episode on trans and slurs.

                No you're just carrying water for bigots.

                Every one of the episodes ends with a sanctimonious lecture about how people who care are just as bad as bigots and the morally correct stance is to do whatever you want and if anybody gets offended they're an idiot.

                The Trans episode was literally "being Trans is the same as somebody who wants to be black so they're good at basketball or a guy who wants to be a dolphin"

        Oh wow they retracted one of their objectively shitty opinions a mere two decades late.

        They made a retraction for their "being Trans is the same as a guy who wants to be a dolphin" episode

        What about all the ones where the black character named token black reads line written by them explaining to white people why they shouldn't feel bad about saying racial slurs?

        Also pretty sure that episode was during the season where they spent the entire season calling out what the biggest problem in America was in 2016, people being too politically correct.

          Boy, you really can't get second degree can't you? The show on n word is the more complex and intelligent take on the subject I've seen coming from the US. It actually explaines to white people why they should'nt use racial slurs. Read my other comment about the trans one.

            No I'm not gonna read any more of your drivel Ive seen the episodes you're either lying or a moron.

            One of the N word episodes included a joke about how to get forgiveness randy had to kiss Jess Jackson's ass because he elected himself king of black people and was just using it for personal gain and didn't actually care about minorities.

            Complex and intelligent to the 4th graders it's targeting, which I'm hoping is who I'm talking to now.

        They never should have taken that donkey-headed opinion in the first place
