I have been waiting for this since the Tourettes Syndrome Episode a couple of seasons back. I bet it will be a well researched and thought out episode.

Finally. Maybe they read my fanfiction and will steal my idea. It be funny if they did it the same way I did my story minus my original characters.


EDIT: Maybe it be about Cartman sh*****g out hamburgers just like in that ret*d cop video just like in the review. I hope it won't be that way and it be about the actual Asperger's.

It'll be interesting to see, since the South Park guys seem to alternate between being incredibly smart and having their heads up their asses. The episode about Tourette's was sympathetic and researched, but I recall an earlier episode that more or less said that ADD was a fad disorder and that kids who think they have it just need a smack upside the head.

I'm a little afraid that Asperger's will be regarded as the fad of the week, if the episode goes beyond Cartman sh*****g hamburgers.

Thankfully, I don't have a problem with this. Unlike Family Guy and other comedy shows, at least the South Park team takes the time to offend both sides of the coin instead of just being one-sided hardliners. With that said, should be an entertaining show.

That is true. There is a tendency for some episodes with similar themes to contradict each other. I refer to the episodes where they dealt with the n word and the f word (the 3-letter one). I hated both episodes because as ridiculous as it might be for some words to cause a ginormous uproar, the point is that some people WILL get offended. That's just nature.

And I'm really not looking forward to the public response for this episode and how many will get offended by it. Then again, Matt & Trey might surprise us yet. But it's cautious territory and you know this episode will cause an uproar either way.

I also immediately thought "Butters has it" when I read about this. Looking forward to seeing how they play this one.

I wish I had a stable internet to watch South Park online. I love this show and like how they try to even it out.

Although.. the cooking episode made me "wtf..."

I love to cook as much as the next person, but Randy? Seriously, ewww.
