I, finally, sat down and watched the very last South Park episode of 2009. Pee could have been one of my favourite Season 13 episodes having a parody of 2012 with Cartman being Cartman and the authorities and scientists being the authorities and scientists.

Still it success just like the 2005 episode Two Days Before the Day After Tomorrow did, in other words, if you're like me and didn't even consider to take a look to the big disaster movie of 2009 you'll love this episode and feel the need to tell others to see it instead of 2012 or The Day After Tomorrow.

Essentially this is about having a harmless, or better said, a nonexistent problem being cataloged as a huge disaster. What we have is a problem at a water park since people just pee in the pools too much. Is very funny indeed the whole thing with the pee, I mean this episode shows what we all know but somewhat want always to not think in: everybody pee in the pools, in the sea and in the shower, plus most people do not clean their hands after peeing. Here is indeed Kyle the one who is basically naïve towards this freakin' fact; it's just a darn bad time for Kyle (and a bit disgusting for us!).

Aside of this we have two subplots, one dealing with Cartman: two weeks ago I came back from my second NYC adventure. This time I took the subway from Manhattan to Coney Island and at one point during the trip back to Manhattan I was in the subway with about 20 Asians and only a couple of Americans. What's the apocalypse for Cartman? Caucasian Americans being the minority, indeed!

The other plot deals with the authorities, scientists and civilians' (well is just Randy) reactions towards the supposed catastrophe (only Kenny dies because of the pee, but while sad his death is still no reason to be surprised and totally scared!) at the team park. These two plots are superb, some of its scenes are in my book highlights of Season 13 and well, is just Cartman being Cartman, going to a water park with minorities all over the place. The key here is that Cartman NEVER thinks of the white people as the minorities even that the park's attendance has only 10% of white people… he is like "do I look like a minority?"! The 2012 thing is in the two subplots since for Cartman having more Mexicans, Asians and African Americans in his park is, like I mentioned, the beginning of the freakin' apocalypse (Mayans were wrong, it came in 2009!), and for the authorities pee seems to be really mortal. The whole monkeys thing was priceless just like Cartman's vision of a world with white people as the minority (is basically Cartman putting himself in the place of any minority in the US). It may not be one of the very bests of the Season but Pee was a great way to finish the year. Can't wait for Season 14!
