This is Bill Country
Tom Casale claimed on PFW In Progress today that Comcast in New England used a generic show description in its program guide for the episode of South Park last week that called New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick a cheater. According to Casale, an unnamed source at Comcast believed an episode-specific description wasn’t “appropriate for this area.” (You can listen to the show here (South Park is discussed in the last five minutes or so)).
The episode, “Eek,a Penis,” was, in my opinion, hit-and-miss, as is often the case with South Park. What probably annoyed me the most was that Eric Cartman (posing as Cartmenez, a Chicano-nationalist teacher) said the Patriots violated league rules by videotaping opposing defenses. In reality, they violated the rules by video taping opposing teams’ coaches on the sideline. However, the line How do I reach these kiiids? is a definite keeper.
