I finally saw South Park Episode 808. It becomes evident as the show goes on that Matt and Trey are absolute comedic geniuses.

Episode 808 plays on the recent phenomena where voting has somehow become expected out of all of us (not to say that this is wrong). In typical South Park fashion, the whole situation is a parody of real life.

In the episode, South Park Elementary has to choose between two new school mascots ... the two choices are "Giant Douche" and "Turd Sandwich." Of course, P. Diddy makes an appearance promoting his "Vote or Die" campaign which is (literally) either you choose to vote or P. Diddy and his posse shoot you down.

The highlight of the whole episode:

Kyle: Look, it may not seem important now, but your vote really counts and we all have to do our part.
Stan: (sighs) OK. (Stan marks down his vote)
Kyle: Whoa, wait, what are you doing?
Stan: I'm voting.
Kyle: You wrote down 'Turd Sandwich."
Stan: I know.
Kyle: Dude, you're supposed to vote for Giant Douche
Stan: I thought I was supposed to make my own decision!
Kyle: Well yeah, but not if your decision is for Turd Sandwich! What the hell is wrong with you?
Stan: Wait, you didn't want me to vote! You wanted me to vote for YOUR guy!
Kyle: Well I just figured you'd vote for MY guy!

The amusing thing here is the obvious fact that Matt and Trey are pointing out: A lot of the so-called non-partisan groups promoting "voter registration" (Rock the Vote, etc.) are all slanted to the left. I've always felt when people are trying to pressure me to vote that they're trying to get me to jump on the "Bush is Evil" bandwagon ... as if just because I haven't shown an active interest to voting that I would be stupid enough to blindly give my support to someone whom the media seems to be behind... I've had a few situations where I've mentioned that I'm a conservative and the issue about me voting was dropped. I kid you not.

The election does simply boil down to whether you want to vote for a Giant Douche or a Turd Sandwich. South Park: I love it.
