'South Park' episode takes Glenn Beck to task

Glenn Beck: Bill O'Reilly calls out Beck over 'swine flu' carry-on

Glenn Beck was parodied by South Park in a recent episode and the Fox News commentator got a piece of his own medicine when Cartman channeled him as announcer at his local high school.

In his role as whistle blower at the High School, Cartman informs all and sundry that the school president Wendy Testaburger is out to KILL SMURFS (Keywords, Integrated, Leftist, Liberal, Socialist, Modern, Utopian, Reformed, Farce, School).

Here is a little of Cartman's schtick.  Does this sound familiar?

"Friends, our school is dying and you know it. You feel it. You are like me. You want to change it. But oh, no, Wendy Testaburger's not going to let that happen. This is not the school we grew up in, and I don't know if we can get it back. Just take a look at exactly what our school president wants. You know, what is she trying to achieve?"

And the funny thing is, Beck seemed to actually like it!  Check out his reaction to the South Park episode in the video above.

In the Beck video, his executive producer, Stu Burguiere, points out that the fattest character on South Park (Cartman) was the one chosen to play him and that in the episode Cartman had hair like Beck's.

Beck seems perplexed that most of an episode of South Park would be devoted to him, especially as he considers himself a libertarian!

Hilarious.

Wow! getting ripped on South Park. Whats next, Homer Simpson might show his true liberal stripe.
My. How intellectual. Parody is a form of fattery. I would not know of such things. What is South Park? Am i missing something? I think not.
It was also a take on James Cameron....talking about how bad that Avatar film is going to suck. But...South Park did NOT rip on Glen Beck. They are LIbertarians. They probably agree with Glen Beck on a lot of issues.
Oh my god FatherVol I think someone just posted as you without your knowing. Glenn Beck the voice of reason, that is a good one. Also his is not a news show EMCCLARY, please tell me you don't believe so, or do you also think The Daily Show is a news show?
Poor Glenn Beck. He isn't smart enough to know that being the guest character in a South Park episode is not a compliment. The guys at South Park only poke fun at the most foolish of fools.
God bless Glenn Beck! A voice or reason with a sense of humor that will fondly be remebered in years down the roas dor having told us so.
