No, the part with the kids getting beat up wasn't the problem, nor was it the cancer, or the Steve Irwin jokes (which, thought obnoxious as they were, isn't my main grip)
...and YES, we know that real life doesn't allow one to automoatically win, unlike movies... but I was hoping for one of those pissed-off speeches from Stan (like the kind for when Kenny was on Life Support, or when dealing with the Hybrid cars, or with Al Gore and his obcession with ManBearPig) after the slaughter about how all this was a waste of time, and how getting a job JUST to get back to your job, especially for an 8-year-old, was totally redundant and unfair, and how, except for the kids, most of the inhabitants have just gotten overtly retarded ever since Season 9... only for me to be left with ludicrous bullshit at the end of the show.
I was only angry becuase the ending was retarded, not offensive. Which was probably why the only episode I like from Season 9 was the Dog Whisperer episode, becuase all the other episodes were so fucking stupid, from plot to end. All the other episodes from Season 10 were great (the WoW episode, the female teacher and Ike, with Cartman dressed up as Dog the Bounty Hunter, the Evolution episode was funny as hell, and reminded me of their work from Season 7). But this episode, just killed it for me.
Life being unfair as a moral is understandable, improbable, one-sided bullshit that only happens because of brainless retards (i.e. the characters in the show), with an anti-climactic ending as the perverbial cherry on top, unfortunately, is something else.
