Randy watches the Food Network; Sharon buys a Shake Weight ... did I mention this episode is mostly masturbation and hand-job jokes?

Last time, on South Park (this is my of reminding you that this week’s episode was a superhero sequel) … there were some lovely jokes about double penetration and how BP is ravaging the Earth … Coon attempted to join the world’s greatest heroes into one group, Coon and Friends … Captain Hindsight weighed in … BP unlocked a portal (to another, evil dimension) … the Dark Lord, Cthulhu, has plunged the world into three thousand years of darkness and only Mysterion can save us (who is Mysterion!?)! Hint, hint. You find out who it is, and it's exactly who you would expect.

What’s the only thing better than a superhero flick? Answer. Three superhero flicks. So, you should be excited to hear that this week’s episode of South Park was the second of a superhero trilogy.  Plus, it had jokes about double penetration and the gulf oil disaster. Watch out, Spiderman! Step off, Iron Man! Screw you, Daredevil! It’s the return of … The Coon.

I’m going to offer a conservative estimate – I’m one of a dozen people who hasn’t seen Inception (It’s on my list of things to do, I swear).  But after watching this week’s South Park, I’m a little less intrigued by the idea of following “a taco within a taco.”  That quote makes as much sense as the plot of the movie, I presume.

So before I do my magic, and tell you about the hilarity that is this week’s South Park satire, I want to set the record straight. I don’t understand what people mean when they say, “It’s a Jersey thing.” Not everyone in New Jersey uses spray tanning lotion, relatively few girls actually wear the “poof,” and only a few men wear those ridiculous gold chains (but no more than anywhere else). 

When South Park revved up this week to take a few shots at NASCAR nay-sayers, who refuse to recognize it as “respected, legitimate sport” because of regional and social stereotypes, it’s no surprise they compared them to the stereotype machine, Eric Cartman.  Wake up, people!  In the words of Kyle Broflovski, “I believe you’re a broke, ignorant idiot.”

How is the Walt Disney Company shaping modern agriculture? Why might the “hole-y cow” prefer the confines of a barn to a wide-open field? And what is “anthropomorphism” anyway? Representatives from the animal science department, the crop and soils department and the Cornell University Dairy Science Club dissect the issues surround dairy livestock treatment.

When are women at their highest peak of fertility? At their lowest? How can women choose between motherhood and their careers? And how does female anatomy cause such a dilemma? New research is helping women make the difficult decision, and modern technologies are allowing women to choose entirely new paths to motherhood.

Can solar power really solve the issue of fossil fuels? Are solar cells economically efficient? And how do they build those solar panels anyway? New Cornell research strives to transform solar technology, using newer, cheaper materials to generate renewable energy.

Why is ethanol-based gasoline creating an entirely new issue for sustainability? How is sugarcane-based ethanol hurting the Brazilian people? And can researchers truly solve the issue of fossil fuel production? An examination of the research of Prof. Luiz Martinell, from University of São Paulo in Brazil, will change the way you look at ethanol production in Brazil and the USA.
