Very funny episode!

Christian Rock Hard is one of the episodes that came with the "Passion Of The Jew" DVD, which includes that episode, this one and "Red Hot Catholic Love".Now, it would not be worth it as it is only three episodes, but back in 2004 when I bought it, they did not have South Park episodes online(at least I did not know about it), and Comedy Network(Canada's comedy central) did not get new episodes until a year later! Anyway, this is a very funny episode which I still quote to this day.Cartman thinks that Christian Rock will make them rich, Kyle disagrees.So he makes a bet with him for $10 that he will get a platinum album before he does.Cartman gets Token and Butters in his band.Token thinks he cannot play base guitar, but Cartman knows he can...because he's black.This is a very funny gag in the episode.Their band is called Faith +1.Meanwhile, Stan,Kyle and Kenny get busted for illegally downloading music.They then realize the error of their ways and also realize that they will not make money, so they stage a strike.Christian Rock Hard is a hilarious episode of South Park!
