SOUTH PARK

I'm not a big South Park fan, but the show had a pretty funny episode about media coverage of natural disasters.

In the episode, two of the boys, Stan Marsh and Eric Cartman, accidentally crash a boat into a beaver dam, flooding an entire town.


In the aftermath, local and national media blame it on global warming, ridiculously exaggerate the extent of the damage, make up stories of rape, murder, "cannibalism," and tell tales of "hundreds of millions" of deaths in a town of 8,000 people!


You know the saying, "there's a little truth in all good humor"...Check out a clip on www.NewsBusters.org
