It also has a classic “Cartman as Dog the Bounty Hunter” theme. Highly recommended.

Great episode! Cartman’s bitch Beth can’t even see over her boobs (much like the real Beth) and it’s hilarious the way he keeps calling everyone “brah.” lol

I agree with captainhowdy….my oldest nephew is 13 and I just can’t even imagine thinking about him or one of his friends that way. This woman is crazy!

And her kids….they still have to attend school. I bet they feel every eyeball burning into their back as they walk into a classroom or travel the hallways.

I cannot for the life of me fathom how any woman could be attracted to a 13 year old boy. I have a nephew who is 12, and just…ew. Seriously. EWWWWW. 13 year old boys are such gross little creatures. Not to mention the fact that they are CHILDREN. What the hell is wrong with these women?

I hope they throw the book at this stupid bitch, but we all know she’s probably going to get off with a slap on the wrist. Sickening.

[Did doing it in bushes where the chances of being caught add an element of excitement? or couldn't she afford a hotel room?]

That there is the reason they keep getting away with it.
