Editor’s Note: This article contains potential spoilers from last night’s South Park episode. You’ve been warned.
Have you guys seen this? Have you seen this one? You may have, but I’ve decided to show it to you anyway. Our friends at /Film may have gotten to it first, but it’s worth mentioning again. Last night, the brilliant minds of South Park – the last bastion of great parody work in this world — lampooned the concept behind James Cameron’s upcoming film Avatar. In the episode, Eric Cartman goes into Glenn Beck mode and tells his very personal story about his time spent with The Smurfs.
He then later finds out that his story, which was made into a movie called Dances with Smurfs, has been stolen by James Cameron and adapted into the film Avatar. It’s brilliant. Check out part of the episode in the clip below, or check out the entire thing over at Southpark Studios.
