haha I hadn't seen the anti-bullying video but I thought "Jackin' it in San Diego" was absolutely brilliant.
According to wikipedia it is inspired by this video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=waAqJ6727Hk

Thanks for the heads up with the Kony guy, I wouldn't have made the connection. With the whole bullying theme I thought it was more about the http://trakt.tv/movie/bully-2012 movie (which was in the press multiple times thanks to Weinstein's clever marketing..)
I found the real music video. South Park copied it (with the exception of that part with Butters :D the chuckle when he says that 200.000 students are afraid to go to school is however hilariously in it) from Cypress Ranch High School. It looks pretty awesome.

Usually i get the theme or event that South Park tries to satirize from, but this time i had to look it up.

For the people who saw this episode and have no idea (like me) what the hell this episode was about: Its a satire on Jason Russell and his documentary Kony 2012. Apparently about a month ago Jason Russell had a nervous breakdown because of negative criticism he received after making his documentary and was arrested and hospitalized after "jacking off" in public.

I thought this was a pretty good episode. I liked the music video that Stan made. Does anyone know if that is copied from a real music video? The end however makes no sense whatsoever if you don't know about the real incident with Jason Russell.
