I wish they had a more focused criticism of Kony/Bully though. It felt like they were just taking a bunch of criticisms and throwing them in. I would have preferred if they had picked one or two points and spent the whole episode developing it. What really bothered me was Kyle telling Stan he should release the video for free. Surely they can't be that simple-minded about Bully. I doubt the producers would have been able to get anywhere near the funding without a major studio (which means selling the movie). | ||

Retrospectively it was kind of funny, but only after I read the last couple of pages of this thread. Going to school in America is getting bad. Bullying is becoming a huge problem. The bigger problem? Kids can't defend themselves. Zero tolerance policies means kids can't even defend themselves from direct assault without also getting suspended. I think it was 9 days for fights when I went... and suddenly you fail the semester (10 missed days and you fail from my old HS). Yes, defending yourself from a bully even if they hit you first, is considered a FIGHT, where you are one of the participants. I have even seen cases where if you DON'T defend yourself, you get in trouble (less) still because you "enticed them" Counselors, principals, teachers can't do jack shit except talk to the parents of the bully, who are usually just as shitty as their little asshole kids and don't care. | ||

Yup this 100%. I know from what my dad told me back when he went to school if you defended yourself against a bully you didn't really get in trouble, especially compared to today where both of you get in the same sort of punishment. I was in 7'th grade, defended myself against a bully and I got suspended for 3 days and he only got 1 in school suspension day (like wtf lol). Still this episode was really funny to me, idk why just was really good, this season in general has been pretty good ^^. | ||

The episode was fun but a little bit predictable asaid from the wtf grandma  .. I did not get the Kony stuff because i don't care about the Kony stuff.. Because i don't click on vids that want me to donate money, therefore i never watched any of the Kony stuff... | ||

The video's description says they did it on March 28, 2012 ??!! That's 2 weeks ago, did Stone and Parker get the idea then and make the episode in such a short time ?? This is making me enjoy the episode better, but still it had some nice morale especially around Butters and his grandma, but it was not really hilarious. | ||
