South Park rocks !

Anyone catch the South Park episode that makes fun of the trashy green-cult movie "The day after tomorrow"?

I was on the floor laughing.. the basic storyline is that Stan & Cartman crash a speedboat into the dam which floods a neighboring town. Nobody saw them do it, so the locals on both sides of politics blame either George Bush or Al-Qaeda for the floods. Then the local media interview "a bunch of respected climate change scientists" who put it down to the arrival of global warming.

From this point, the cartoon re-enacts the bogus scenes from the movie The day after tomorrow.
An emergency conference is held where these scientists bring along a graph saying that their computer model predicts massive temperature drops. When asked by a reporter "when will this happen", they respond "The day after tomorrow.. but we printed this out 2 days ago.. oh shit !"

What follows from this point is hilarious. Riots and looting ensure, people panic and flee the town screaming "We didn't listen!" , or "It's here ! Global warming !! Yaaargh !"

(Meanwhile, the skies are blue and its just another sunny day in South Park).

At the end of the episode, the scientists admit that they got it wrong. Not only does this episode take down the hysterical cult of global warming, it mocks the media and government.

One reporter was on camera saying "We have reports that over 60 billion people have died in Chicago already !"... the anchorman then responded "Have you actually seen these dead people?" to which the reporter replies "No.. no.. but I am reporting it !" (remind anyone of the media screwup covering the 12 trapped miners ?)

Another funny moment is when people ask the US military if they are gonna rescue civilians in the flooded town, to which they reply ... "No. We can't.. but tell them that the government cares very much". (sounds like New Orleans to me)

This episode highlights why libertarianism is such a superior way of life to all other political ideologies.
