South Park’s take on workplace sexual harassment was a total mess

  • “The problem,” Matt Miller says of this week’s episode, “is that South Park introduces these ambiguous takes on complex issues and leaves them completely undeveloped. The joke seems to be on the situation itself rather than on stupid men or workplace harassers. Providing no direction or answer is almost worse than saying nothing at all. Is South Park merely showing where the line is? Or is South Park mocking our fear of the line itself? Certainly, the latter would be a destructive critique in a time when it's obvious men need to examine their own actions rather than laugh at them.”
