Anyone who actually watched it thinking the point was "global warming is all a hoax" probably had already believed it. and they also made fun of Al Gore MANBEARPIG with equal aplomb. That's exactly what KP is talking about. Their default strategy is "This side is extreme and this side is extreme. The answer lies in the middle!" It's not inherently wrong, but "the middle" is a very large region, and South Park's job isn't to offer solutions, so you're not left with a particularly useful analysis, and so you're only left with the kind of apathetic "I reject both sides. I am superior" enlightened centrism KP objects to. The episode doesn't say that global warming is a hoax. It merely rejects, directly or indirectly, its urgency, which isn't much better. --- Kneel... or you will be knelt <cite>NFUN posted [p:959541813] in Dave Chapp...
