South Park is targeting the anti-vaxxer movement for its 300th episode celebrations, because nothing says party like viral infection.
The show’s next episode titled ‘SHOTS!!!’ sees Cartman refuse to take a jab from doctors, prompting some concern from Stan, Kyle, Kenny and co.
In a clip from the episode, Cartman says: ‘It’s my personal belief government should not coerce citizens into receiving medical interventions. And besides I don’t want to risk immunisations making me artistic.’
An official synopsis reads: ‘Randy revels in a Tegridy Farms milestone. Meanwhile, Cartman stands his ground and refuses to get a shot.’
The 300th episode is set to air tonight (9 October) in the US, with Comedy Central also hosting an all-day marathon to celebrate the milestone.
It follows creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone issuing a mocking apology to China following last week’s episode, which put the spotlight on Hollywood shaping its content in order to avoid offending Chinese government censors.
Following the episode, it’s believed the Chinese government stripped the show’s existence from Chinese internet altogether, proving their point entirely.
In response to the online scrubbing, Trey and Matt issued a comical statement, which read: ‘Like the NBA, we welcome the Chinese censors into our homes and into our hearts.
‘We too love money more than freedom and democracy. XI doesn’t look like Winnie The Pooh at all. Tune into our 300th episode this Wednesday at 10! Long live the great Communist Party of China.
‘May the autumn’s sorghum harvest be bountiful. We good now China?’
The Chinese government previously censored any mention of Winnie The Pooh after many people began comparing Chinese president Xi Jinping to the character.
South Park airs Fridays on Comedy Central UK at 10pm.
