It's a subject loaded with comic possibilities, still somewhat unbroached (remember the buzz over the Seinfeld masturbation episode), and would bring the series back to its character based strengths, rather than the tiresome preachiness of the tenth and eleventh seasons.

I liked that they had the boys age in the "fourth grade" episodes, but that all kind of went nowhere after that. Its an animated show, so they can get away with not having them age, of course, but early pubescence is a fine time for coarse comedy, which is what most of us first fell in love with on the show to begin with. 'Bebes boobs destroy society is still one of my favorite episodes, it works without being overly shock-comedic, politically preachy, or patronizing. This is what the show needs to return to, and so far I'd say they've been moving in that direction this season.

The subject was briefly approached in the episode "Preschool" as well, with the fifth or sixth graders (can't remember exactly which) trading their protection to the boys for a picture-they think-of one of the boy's mothers' boobs to jack over. Still, it was an incidental plot point, and I think South Park could tackle the subject in a grand fashion of the writers set their minds to it.

I wouldn't call them pussies, but I wouldn't say mocking Hillary, hardly that unheard of, makes them brave either. They do sway rightward, but it's rarely of a 'Faux News' caliber. That is why I stopped watching after the eight season and just started watching again; The global warming episodes got pretty tiresome, plus the Family Guy bashing is pathetic. Lately, thankfully, they've dropped both obsessions.

You must be young here.

Matt and Trey produced a show called "That's My Bush!" that mocked Bush and his cabinet.

Just for that, they and their staff were under surveillance and investigation by the IRS (yes, the IRS) and the FBI

Two: SNL is doing a great job of mocking her as it is.

Now go put on your black clothes, white make up and black lipstick and listen to Switchblade Symphony while spouting off your noncomformality you fraud

Oh yea, Sunny in Philadelphia sucks, you R Word

Well, that's not a totally fair statement. I still dig the hell out of Willow.

By the way, I have never even heard of Sunny. I'll try and track it down though.... and SP still rules

D'jesus.....i understand, i do that sometimes too, and you should check out Sunny, if u like SP and Seinfeld, you'll like Sunny, it's liek a retarded baby of those two

On the other hand, I still felt the episode was pretty good as the whole rape plot by itself was pretty damn amusing.

Also, has anybody noticed that Trey seems to be doing more smaller ensemble pieces now? Instead of just focusing on Cartman or just putting all four guys into one situation, he seems to be experimenting with different pairings and groupings. I think it has potential of creating some new dynamics in the show to allow him to keep some of the humor fresh. He just needs to be careful not to rely too much on just a Butters/Cartman variation.

But, hell--for all the flak I give Howard the Duck, it still has that amazing scene with a young Lea Thompson in bed with nothing but a loose tank top and a pair of teeny purple panties...yum.

Eeccchhhh...

And for all those people saying that "Always Sunny" is more funny than South Park- You are god damn right it is- Sunny is hands down the funniest TV show that has EVER existed- and it hasn't even yet got it's traction yet. Charlie and Rob are so damn talented- I know that they haven't even begun to be funny yet. We only get glimpses now and then on just how funny they will be probably next season. Glenn and Kaitlin are funny too, and even DeVito has his moments from time to time- that show is GOLD- but South Park is still funny anyways- and when they do episodes like this Indiana one- they hit the nail on the head. Thank god for Matt and Trey.

Now watch as Guillermo Del Toro rape the hell out of Bilbo Baggins- trust me it is going to happen. Del Toro was quoted in 2006 as saying: "I don't like little guys and dragons, hairy feet, hobbits – I've never been into that ... I hate all that stuff." Let the Guillermo raping begin. We got three good Lord of the Rings Movies- now we are about to get a shitty one- It's Phantom Menace ALL OVER AGAIN.

I still think, though, that Shitty Wok would have been a funnier setting than P.F. Chang's, but Butters' disguise (especially with him leaving his on after Cartman removed his) was priceless. Peter Sellers would be proud.
