About this episode
The episode discusses the controversial 'Ginger Kids' and its themes of manipulation and societal perceptions.
"Red Power!" That's the message of the week as we tackle 'Ginger Kids', a pretty controversial episode of the series in hindsight. It's also a great showcase for Cartman's ability to manipulate just about anyone for his own gain. We discuss whether Parker and Stone crossed the line with their "ginger hate", Parker marrying a Japanese woman to avoid the ginger gene, Disney's weird fascination with scaring kids in the 70s/80s and more.
