Normally, I absolutely LOVE South Park, even supporting unpopular episodes "Eat, Pray, Queef", "Pip", and "Not Without My Anus", but this was HORRIBLE!!! I am fine with South Park making fun of gangs (that part was wonderful), but the Christopher Reeve subplot went TOO far. If they had just had him using stem cells, but NOT eating them, and trying to kill Gene Hackman, and going psychotic, it would have been better. I got SICK watching every scene with him wishing he could rise up and kick Trey and Matt where it hurts, and please do not tell me that his attempt to use stem cells to be superhuman was funny, as it just added to the mockery.
This may seem prudish, which it is, but I LOVE it when South Park goes over the edge ("Pee" and "Go, God Go" being good examples), but knowing a quadriplegic (not Reeve) this episode hit home for me, and my friend cried when he saw the episode feeling it belittled a good cause, and hero, too much.
I guess even South Park have a limit to what they can handle, and this was mine.
