My attention was drawn to this issue only after I had just watched,

Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy

It was so funny and good. And very informative. All cops, parents,
teachers, and especially young boys, should watch it.

Colorado, for some reason, has been the scene of several of these
incidents. Not that South Park has anything to do with Colorado, of
course.

Casting aside the infantile slogan, "Wikipedia is not censored", I think
having the pilot of South Park on the Main Page is quite appropriate; the
subject is significant.
