Are there any for-profit branches of the Livestrong foundation? That's where I'm untrustworthy.

Luke: So far, that episode is excellent. I love that Trey Parker and Matt Stone are willing to tackle any subject. There's no better duo when it comes to commentary and humor.

You want to take the risk of becoming impotent? Biking is your man for the job...
plus you got all these idiots dressed up in tour de france gear( like they're competing or something) biking in the middle of town during the busiest time of day, all up in peoples way and shit that are trying to get somewhere. go find a greenway or park.

Oh man I agree. Best thing is when a jackass cyclist runs through a stop sign or a red light. They bitch and moan about treating them like cars, and then they don't even follow the rules of the road.

I have very little respect for cyclists. 90% of them do it to be cool anyway. Austin is HUGE into cycling because of Armstrong, and I've actually seen (on multiple occasions) people drive to a spot about 3 or 4 blocks from a cyclists hangout - then ride those 3 or 4 blocks, and show up like they've been cycling all day.

We have a similar problem with cyclists in Seattle, though here they do it because of mother earth, man. I've nearly hit cyclists multiple times because they only obey the traffic laws they want to.

If you ever have the chance, see The Book of Mormon.

And sure, not every episode is great, but I'll never get the "Matt and Trey need to stop" crowd. What they do, how they do it, and with the time they have to do it in is simply absurd.

My wife and I are "casual bike riding people" and it drives me nuts when she doesn't stop at stop signs when making a right turn. "Stop means Stop". These days I simply start yelling and awkwardly gesticulating "RIGHT TURN EVERYONE!!!! RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT TURN!"

I second this. I got to see it when it first came out on Broadway and I'm planning on seeing it twice more this winter (once in Chicago, once in Seattle).

South Park hasn't been funny for years.

As far as I know, no one is forcing them to do it that way. It's amazing how fast they make episodes, but keep in mind that they only make 7-8 episodes at a time and after that they have a 3-5 month break. They should've put all the extra resources they've invested in animation quality over the years in writing instead.

It's not a problem since both cars and pedestrians&cyclists have their own roads.

Don't you know Luke? Everything hasn't been <whatever it originally set out to be> for years.

I've watched the latest South Park episode within 1-3 days of it airing ever since season 12. I've seen all South Park episodes.

South Park's writing is still witty and amusing, but it's not funny anymore. You can have a message with out being preachy, that's what many of the old episodes (and some other shows, like Duckman) did.
