For Better or Werts : TV Worth Watching

WEIRD & WILD: Cartman vs. China

Obviously, Comedy Central's publicists haven't heard Lou Dobbs rant lately. Here's what their press release has to say about the semi-season return of South Park this Wednesday at 10 p.m. ET:

"Cartman seems to be the only person aware of the gathering threat the Chinese pose to the United States in an all-new episode of South Park entitled 'The China Problem' ... After watching the intimidating opening ceremonies of the recent Olympic Games, Cartman understands that the Chinese are only just days away from invading his homeland. While the rest of the American people are haunted by the memory of a recent tragic event, only Butters will stand with Cartman as he confronts the Chinese."

Topical? Sure. Smart? Probably. Offensive? Undoubtedly.

Look at the art above.

And then be there.

Diane Werts has been glued to the tube since she can remember, growing up in a household where the TV came on first thing in the morning and stayed on till bedtime and beyond. She worked for the USA Film Festival, then for The Dallas Morning News writing about everything from Shakespeare to macrame art to rock music (and has the hearing loss to prove it). She moved to New York's Newsday to edit their glossy TV magazine, then returned to writing about television, specializing in its stranger permutations. She's a past president of the Television Critics Association.
