What Could Be Funnier Than An Episode Of South Park That Makes Fun of 9/11 "Truthers"?

I'll tell you what: The "truthers" discussing the possible impact of said South Park episode on " the movement."

Micayah:

My guess is they will completely make fun of 9/11 truth movement.

Good guess, but "truther" Method feels the need to keep Micayah honest after that remark:

Question - If that happens, is it going to stop you from doing your own investigative research and spreading the truth?

Even IF thats the case, who cares? We aren't trying to win any popularity contest. Our goal is spreading truth, not becoming homecoming king/queen.

Not trying to win a popularity contest? The hell you say!

Meanwhile, 911wasaninsidejob is disappointed with South Park's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone:

Man i used to have a lot of respect for trey and matt until now, I can see exactly where this is going, they are going to completely make fun of our entire movement and make everyone in our generation (pretty much everyone watches south park in the 10-20 age range) laugh at the "conspiracies" of 9/11...why did they do this?

Why, Trey and Matt? WHY? I mean, don't they usually take jabs at people who are already making asses out of themselves?

But wait! Ross11988, is optimistic:

Lets not get ahead of ourselves, it just said they were going to talk about lies which included 9/11.

Typical 9/11 conspiracy optimist. Meanwhile, Sureshot sees this as an opportunity to add to the ranks of reality-based conspiracy theorists:

Well anyways like I said, I think this will get more people wanting to look at these "silly" conspiracy theories only to find themselves having themselves having restless nights researching controlled demolitons.

Yeah, I can see that happening: "You know, if Cartman thinks there's something to this, maybe I should do some research."

Still, Sureshot's theory really gets fellow "truther" Skorzeny fired up:

That would be super-great if the characters in the show actually realize that 9/11 was the work of the Zionist NWO! I think it will cause people to research it for themselves. Is this Cartman character pretty well respected among his friends?

Good question! Actually, now that I think of it, that's a very stupid question. Hey, let's use that idiotic question to examine the mind of a typical "truther", shall we?

"Cartman":

Question from 9/11 konspiracy kook:

"Is he pretty well respected among his friends?"

Answer from sane person:

"..."

Answer from sane person after realizing that "truther" was actually serious:

"It's a cartoon character, you jackass!"

And, finally, TheQuest, demonstrating the "truther" belief that there's a conspiracy anywhere you look for one, thinks the whole thing might be a set-up:

Not to be a downer, we should probably bridge this one because it kinda looks silly here. Does anyone else feel the same? It's quite possible this southpark episode was made knowing we'd post it here. I say let's bridge this thread.

Looks like they've figured out our strategy: The best way to discredit these people is to get them to open their mouths in public.

H/T: Cake or Death

UPDATE: Greg from The Political Pitbull has posted the entire episode. Coincidence? I think not.

UPDATE II: Link fixed. I thought maybe the Loose Brains guys took what TheQuest said to heart and deleted the thread, but it turns out they just "consolidated" all the South Park threads. Conicidence? I think not.

UPDATE III: At the web site of noted 9-11 conspiracy asswipe Alex Jones, Aaron Dykes is "fact-checking" a cartoon. Hel-LO?

The show did not challenge any of the claims made by various members of the 9/11 truth movement (though they did present various elements in an mixed, but un clarified blanket theory which poorly represented serious points and research explored). It mentioned that steel couldn't be melted by the jet fuel fires, but connected it with blame for the Jews, allowing for a continuation of Cartman attacking Kyle and the Jewish faith.

 

Alex Jones: Just keepin' it (a cartoon, that is) real.

(H/T: Screw Loose Change)

What is it that causes people to gravitate toward conspiracy theories? To believe that it was all a big lie that was concocted and carried out by the supposedly dummest president we've ever had??? But somehow he was able to coerce Alqaida to work with the US and...for what again? Wait I got lost at stupid, but brilliant, but still really dumb???

[monsoon]

At least that one commenting truther TheQuest was cognizant enough to know that they were not only looking crazy, but like fools as well, in continuing this misanthropic thread. As Kyle said, "1/4 of the country are retards," and these commenters are the cream of the shortbus crop.

[dillene]

Parker and Stone have always said that they get more negative reactions when they make fun of liberals, but that conservatives take it in stride. I guess that childish taunts are only going to be effective against other children.

I loved the show. Especially when it came down to "911 was the results of a bunch of pissed off Muslims, of course".

I pointed to the Popular Mechanics book to someone who believes the conspiracy. "Well, they must have been on the conspiracy, too!"

"Still a man hears what he wants to
and then disregards the rest..." Paul Simon

I think Matt and Trey did a pretty good job on this one.

[Wickedpinto]

make everyone in our generation (pretty much everyone watches south park in the 10-20 age range)

So this guy is somewhere between 10 and 20 years old?

That explains a lot.

[Henry]

Man, that was hilarious! The wife and I were gasping for air, we were laughing so hard.

I haven't even looked around for the libtard reactions; I probably shouldn't look around, as that would cause my aching sides even more pain.

If you missed it, have a look here.

[andycanuck]

Cartman siding with smelly hippies? I think I smell Karl Rove at work. And since when has Cartman ever ragged on Kyle for being a Jew?

A Truther named himself "Skorzeny"? As in, the famed Waffen SS commando Otto Skorzeny? LOL.

That would be super-great if the characters in the show actually realize that 9/11 was the work of the Zionist NWO! I think it will cause people to research it for themselves. Is this Cartman character pretty well respected among his friends?"

Anyone who knows anything about South Park knows that nearly every kid in Cartman's class hates his guts but tolerates him for some reason.

[Michael Rutherfurd]

Cartman is tolerated because if someone killed him they would all have to say "Oh my God, they killed Cartman. Aw I wanted to do it." and they already have a similiar quote for Kenny :-)

Everyone who has ever listened to a single commentary, that whoever made this comment "That would be super-great" is mimicing the aspect of Trey Parker, who uses that prefix all the time when he's talking about simple concepts.

Whowever posted the above listed comment is likely being sarcastic.

[islamisevil]

"Whowever posted the above listed comment is likely being sarcastic."

sounds like a conspiracy!!

[Guy]

It was only the most brilliantly conceived & flawlessly executed plan ever, ever!

[blooch]

Is "truther" Skorzeny actually taking his screen name from Nazi Germany's most celebrated Kommando? I hope it's his real name.

[HowardDevore]

Can anyone tell me which movie they were homaging with the whole chase scene descending from the rooftop view? or the stan pulling a gun rotation thing?
The layout of those scenes is just familiar enough I recognize it, just cant place the movie(s?)

[thomas]

I still didn't get who was dropping the duke in the urinal after all, Mh-Kay?

Old friends and old wine are best. Ferdinand.
