South Park

Everytime I think South Park is amazingly stupid - and of course by that I mean only that it is wonderful - it goes on and proves me right.  Last night, Ms. Garrison had to teach the students the theory of evolution. 

Ms. Garrison: Now I, for one, think evolution is a bunch of bullcrap! But I've been told I have to teach it to you anyway.  It was thought up by Charles Darwin and it goes something like this...  In the beginning, we were all fish. Okay? Swimming around in the water.  And then one day a couple of of fish had a retard baby, and the retard baby was different, so it got to live.  So retard fish goes on to make more retard babies, and then one day, a retard baby fish crawled out of the ocean with its... mutant fish hands... and it had butt sex with a squirrel or something and made this (points to prehistoric mammal rodent).  Retard frog-squirrel, and then that had a retard baby which was a... monkey-fish-frog... And then this monkey-fish-frog had butt sex with that monkey, and that monkey had a mutant retard baby that screwed another monkey... and that made you!  So there you go! You're the retarded offspring of five monkeys having butt sex with a fish-squirrel! Congratulations!

I think I only had a deeper appreciation for it because of my BIO 344 class - Chordate zoology.  We traced the evolutionary history of all phyla and honestly, (although Ms. Garrison's explanation of evolution is reductive) Ms. Garrison had it right...
