The Verdict
By Mitch Berg
The greatest South Park episode of all time: the one where they lampooned MTV’s Sweet Sixteen.
Oh, I thought lines like “Oh, it’s OK, Satan – you’re not as bad as those kids on Sweet Sixteen” were funny on principle.
Then I finally saw Sweet Sixteen. Kudos to Stone and Parker; at least I had the memories of the SPark episode to help assuage the crushing depression that watching Sweet Sixteen gave me – the creeping realization, watching those spoiled, vacuous little pigs – that “maybe the terrorists have a point after all”.
That is all.

Is that the show where parents spend $100,000 on their little darlings for their birthday parties or Bar Mitzvahs? The mind reels at the idiocy.

Sweet Sixteen parties. Yep. That’s the one.
