Time for a Toke and a TOT:
There are only 4 episodes so far in the 14th season of South Park which began March 17th. Every episode has had a deeper meaning, with several messages that address current issues that are going on in the world! It’s amazing.
Episode 1 “Sexual Healing” Synopsis:
The nation’s top scientists come together to put a stop to the recent phenomenon of rich, successful men who suddenly want to have sex with many, many women. After extensive testing, some of the fourth grade boys in South Park Elementary are diagnosed as sex addicts.
This episode focuses entirely around Tiger Woods and sends a message that is both direct and indirect.
Episode 2 “The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs” Synoposis:
“The Tale of Scrotie McBoogerballs” is the second episode of the fourteenth season of the American animated television series South Park, and the 197th overall episode of the series. It originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on March 24, 2010. The episode lampoons the controversy and literary analysis of The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger.
This episode focuses on the fact that English school teachers are searching for deeper meanings within literature which seems to have been written for the message that it directly displays. They use The Catcher in the Rye as an example.
Episode 3 “Medicinal Fried Chicken” Synopsis:
Cartman’s favorite restaurant has been shut down and replaced by a store that sells medicinal marijuana. Randy is desperate to get a prescription card to buy pot and Cartman will do anything to get his beloved fried chicken back.
This episode points out that addiction is not directly related to marijuana as anything in excess can become an addiction. It also focuses on the fact that there are much more harmful things in the world that ARE legal but yet marijuana which doesn’t cause harm at all is illegal.
Episode 4 “You Have 0 Friends” Synopsis:
Kyle “friended” the wrong person and now all of his old friends are deserting him. His situation is desperate. Kyle looks for help from the one person who has always been there for him.
This episode is about how Facebook has taken over the lives of many people. It also sends the message that the number of ‘friends’ you have is not determined by how many times you or someone else has clicked ‘Confirm’ to a friend request. Facebook is to share the life you lead with others, not to live your life watching other people lead lives.
The next episode will air on April 14th, and will be called “200″. I have no idea what it is about but from what I’ve seen so far in this season, I’m sure this episode will be both hilarious yet intellectual.
You can check them all out here at South Park Studios.

Time for a TOT:
I’m sure some of you have heard that employers and some schools check Facebook profiles before hiring or accepting you.
Currently, there are about 45% of companies who admitted to doing this! Can you imagine what the numbers would be like if everyone who did this admitted to it?
I had to voice how stupid this concept is. Facebook is a website that is used to share pieces of your personal life with the people in your friendship circle, school, or family.
I think we can all agree that we don’t consider our job or workplace to be a very personal place. You often have to act more… civilized.. even though that’s the wrong word for that. What I mean is you don’t normally act the same around your boss as you would when you are with your friends.
So what I’d like to know is why are employers and schools looking at profiles of applicants in order to aid in their decision-making process?
Its fuckin stupid! People don’t normally post anything that has to do with work or whatever, and what you do in your own free time should be completely and utterly up to you!
Why the fuck should you have to go through your 800 photos and countless comments/wall posts and change your privacy settings or deleting the profile all together ?
This is your freedom to express the things that you want to express. You should not have to hide things simply because you may be rejected for a job or school you are applying for. Would you take your boss to a club, bar or party with you? I don’t think so. Having your boss or potential employer run through your profile is the exact same thing.
