OMG, "Cartmans Special Gift" was the episode this week, and as a skeptic it was even funnier than the "John Edwards Biggest Douche in the Universe" Episode.

Should be repeated a few times this week, dont miss it.

(PARTIAL SPOILERS)
Short story,
Serial killer in town, Cartman jumps off his roof trying to fly, bumping his head and developing fake psychic powers, he helps the cops find the wrong guy 4 times, then the other psychic detectives try to stop him from stealing their business and they have a psychic battle, at which I laughed at so hard I had to rewind the Tivo because I missed it. Anyway Skepticism has a great friend in Parker and Stone, doing more to shape the minds of youngsters than most schools. (In a skeptical sense, the shaping them into serial killers is another aspect altogether)

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

My personal favorite is the episode with the Mormons

Summary:
Stan is invited to dinner with a fanatically Mormon family. They tell the story of Joseph Smith (in rhyme!). Instead of telling the story as you would hear the evangelical Mormons tell it, however, they tell it as it probably occurred, and make the whole religion seem like a joke. A must see!
