Kristi Noem, the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, appeared on Glenn Beck’s radio show and slammed “South Park” as “so lazy” and “petty” after she became the Comedy Central series’ latest target.
“It never ends, but it’s so lazy to constantly make fun of women for how they look,” Noem told Beck about the episode, while also acknowledging she did not watch it because she was “going over budget numbers and stuff.”
“It’s always the liberals and the extremists who do that,” Noem added. “If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can’t, they just pick something petty like that.”
Notice how she didn’t complain about the dead puppies?
Aside from this episode, what often saddens me is the realization that remarkably many men and women are so psychologically damaged to the point that their body dysmorphia leads them to think that this Eraserhead/Chucky-like plastic surgery is more aesthetically pleasing than normal aging. Zoom into this Wikipedia profile picture of Kristi Noem and tell me she doesn’t look like a demon.
In general I do not condone ad hominem attacks, but to be fair, considering the Gestapo shit going on in the USA, the carpet does match the drapes.
TIL MAGA are liberals
Oh honey, it’s not your looks that make you ugly.
She’s allowed to be ugly on the inside and be a Botox addicted lizard on the outside.
Someone could probably plumb her twitter and find rude things about Michelle Obama quite quickly.
Not me, I’m not going anywhere near that cesspit.
“If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that, but clearly they can’t, they just pick something petty like that.”
They did plenty of that too…
And just in case they missed the satire, they made Noem’s face fall off.
How would she know that though? She was too busy with official business, like rounding up Mexicans at home depot.
“On the budget and stuff…” Very official sounding from her lol.
Vance might be a fucking prick, but his response was perfect. “Well, Ive made it.”. Gives the clickbait press nowhere to go, gives his enemies nothing to pile on about. But it sure makes him look normal compared to the state of idiot, who is looking like shes just walked out of an outreach poster for neglected Beverly Hills housewives.
Don’t get me wrong, Vance is evil…
But this is yet another thing that shows that he actually is among the most intelligent of this clown car of an administration.
He’s smart enough to know that whining about a crude joke at his expense is very petty and projects patheticness.
See, he’s better at keeping his mask on, his face from sliding off, than Noem is.
Noem’s mask is slipping, face melting away just actually in realtime, barely even a metaphor at this point, she is so stupid she doesn’t even realize her response was predicted, and is now thus meta-self referential.
Idiot bullies are very easy to trigger when they can’t just immediately inflict pain on you as a response, goddamnit this is all so fucking stupid.
He’s just relieved they didn’t make a couch joke.
Pretty sure there was an upholstered piece of furniture with holes all over it with him in the frame.
they’re saving that for when he’s president. watch.
Yeah, that was pretty La-Z of the boys…
Maybe next week.
just… I love that they are pretending that the SP team are some how secret liberals.
They’ve always been edgy contrarians. And with the national media so fully, apologetically, slavishly in the bag for this administration, all you can do as a contrarian is take shots at the President.
I think the other side of the episode - Cartman losing his shit because he’s not the biggest online racist anymore - says it all. These guys want to be the ones producing the cringe transphobic episodes and climate change denialism and weirdly sexualized takes on undocumented immigration.
To quote Matt Stone
“I hate conservatives but I really fucking hate liberals.”
They don’t want this. They want to be mocking people who drive electric cars and use bidets. Thank goodness tiny dick jokes and “that bitch is fugly” jokes are still on the table or they wouldn’t have a show left.
Maybe, but Cartman has kinda always been portrayed as evil and an ass. He’s generally the butt of the joke, not the moral guide of the series.
Kyle and Stan are usually the mouthpieces for Trey and Matt. In the classic formula, Kyle would walk out at the end of the episode and say, “You know, I’ve learned something…” and then just tell you the moral of the story.
South Park used to be the boogeyman that parents would point to as “ruining kids.” I think there’s some truth to that. It can ruin your kid if they have absolutely no media literacy and just watch it because they think Cartman’s funny (but if they already were on Cartman’s side, who ruined who?)
There are plenty of viewers like that (see: the “South Park is woke now” crowd), and Cartman has been pretty much just a piece of shit since day 1.
I’m optimistic about this character arc for Cartman, because they’re basically just making it as undeniable as possible that he revels in being a piece of shit. If Cartman sees everyone becoming like him as a bad thing, that will be more effective messaging toward the people that only watch for Cartman.

You’d think that forcing a kid to unknowingly eat his parents’ remains, then licking his tears; smiling at a video of the 3rd reich (which was supposed to make him learn that nazism was bad) and dressing as hitler; yelling “FUCK JESUS!” in front a christian crowd just because he lost a bet, there would already be loads of undeniable proof of how much Cartman’s a piece of shit (lovable as a character, terrible as a real human)
You’d think so, but Cartman never thinks he’s a piece of shit for that.
Him basically saying, “Hey, these guys are dickheads, that’s my thing,” specifically calling people that imitiate him out as trash, is a little more on the nose imo.
Again, I’m talking about targeting an audience with no media literacy. The ones that think South Park is funny because Cartman is funny.
You’re correct to call them edgy contrarians. To claim that they just want to make fun of people who drive electric cars also misses the point and falls in line with the same thing that ICE Barbie said just from a left wing point of view.
In their 28 years of making movies, tv shows, and plays they have mocked: every religion, evangelicals, climate change(which they have apologized for), the US military, Alec Baldwin, Rosie O’Donnell, electric car owners, people who are overly PC, rednecks who blame immigrants for the loss of their jobs, gay people, trans people, corporations like Walmart and Amazon, George Bush, Dick Cheney, boarder control, Jewish people, Japanese people, Norwegians, the British, Oprah, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, OJ Simpson, Jean Bennet Ramsey’s parents, Charlie Manson, and countless others. This is just what I could come up with in a couple of minutes.
So basically everyone and every ideology has been made fun of by them at some point. As you said, edgy contrarians.

It’s almost like they’re saying “don’t be an ideologue”.
They just so relentlessly pick at everyone and everything, that in every camp you’ll have people claiming that Trey and Stone belong to the rival camp. I’ve seen folks place them all over the left-right wing spectrum.
Typically I say you shouldn’t insult someone for how they look as they cannot choose how they were born. She chose to look like this. And she looks like a clown.
She melted pretty quick.
I’m sure we’ll hear her mocking some woman for her looks in the near future.
What’s the problem? Trey and Matt are just trying to earn their nut.
It’s always the conservatives crying to mommy about the mean, mean wibbewuls while casually being pedophiles.
Protip: if you were a less horrible person, Noem, you wouldn’t be so ripe for parody
She slammed them, but at least she didn’t completely eviscerate them.
Also, Glenn Beck is still a thing? I can’t recall the last time I heard that name.
What an ignorant, incompetent, fascist, arrogant, MAGAfaced asshole. Fuck you, ICE Barbie. You piece of shit.
