They killed Queenie
Thursday, March 29, 2007
Everybody's favourite good taste-baiting cartoon series, South Park, reached new levels of gleeful offensiveness last night, when they showed the Queen committing suicide. The plot saw Her Majesty put a gun into her mouth and pull the trigger, before slumping to the floor with her brains leaking out. The cause for her regal suicide is phone call she receives, telling her that Britain's evil plot to take over America has been foiled.
The plot – which was a parody of Kiefer Sutherland's hugely popular, torture-happy, Chloe-damning action series 24 – involved Russian mercenaries, hired by Britain, installing a nuclear device in Hillary Clinton's vagina. Naturally, this was merely an attempt at misdirection, distracting the security services and allowing Britain to mount an attack on the US using an 18th century naval fleet. Only the intervention of South Park's main characters Stan, Kyle, and Cartman prevents the dastardly British plot from succeeding – and causes the Queen to take her own life in despair.
South Park has courted controversy throughout its ten-year history - most recently for depicting Steve Irwin just weeks after his death, with a stingray still sticking out of his chest. South Park's depiction of the Queen's suicide is likely to provoke outrage across Britain, where the public view their monarch with enormous respect and reverence.

Strangely, I haven't noticed much outrage round this part of Britain... haha If anyone's looking for the file it's episode 11x04.
that's brilliant. I'm going to make sure I see that one for sure. I'm actually just after watching the Southpark : Bigger, Longer and Uncut a couple days ago.
