South Park: The Meat of the Matter
In the interest of balance today, time to post about some offensive TV on Comedy Central that I liked. South Park's "Whale Whores," while not an all-time great, was one of those episodes that hit for the cycle of South Park fixations: pop-culture mocking (Whale Wars, Lady Gaga), stories about the kids and, at the end, a wrap-up about the Japanese taste for whaling that managed to be outrageous, absurd and sucker-punch thought-provoking at the same time.
Between that and last night's Top Chef guest-starring Natalie Portman, it was a good night to be a vegetarian.

Only one question remains...if Chicken and Cow dropped the bomb on Hiroshima, who dropped the bomb on Nagasaki if it wasn't Dolphin and Whale????

I was looking forward to vegetarian challenge on Top Chef and was disappointed with what they put out.
.
Granted they got thrown the challenge at the last minute, but you're really going to try and sell a leek (and a nasty looking one at that) as a "protein"?
.
Was there no tofu in the place? No lentils? Grains?

Tenderfeet, top chef was fantastic! They just couldn't use tofu because it takes so long to prepare if you want it's texture to be good.
Mike used lentils (and he lost so that was a bad idea anyway).
Grains are proteins!! And people did use grains. What about voltaggio's banana polenta? Polenta is from cornmeal and corn is a grain.

After watching that episode, I have come to the sobering conclusion that I am Cartman. That might as well have been me with the Rockband microphone. Crap! Too late to put together a Cartman costume, thankfully.
