Drawn Together

I was watching South Park on Comedy Central last night. It was the episode where the boys think the girls have a device to see into the future, so Butters is picked to be the boy who must fake his death, become a girl and infiltrate the girls sleepover (Im not sure its aired in the UK yet).

There is a reference to Pet Cemetry in this episode, but the whole episode is very very funny. In the picture above, you can see the results of Mr Garrisons recent sex change (another classic episode in season 9)

After South Park, there was a new cartoon on called Drawn Together, which is like the sexy, dirty version of South Park. The (loose) premise for this show is that a load of cartoon characters are in a reality TV show, so I decided to watch it, because I couldn't be bothered to reach onto the coffee table to flick channels.

There seemed to be two sub plots: 1) Spanky (the virtual cartoon character) contracted a computer virus, and needed health insurance, and the only way to get it was to marry the gay character. and 2) and Foxxxy the black crime fighting chick needed to pass some exam to get her crime fighting certificate (she ended up exposing the exam boards plot to stop blacks passing exams!)

I was just amazed at how 'close to the bone' this cartoon is! If it comes to the UK, watch it!
