Last night's (June 8th) South Park -- probably spoilery

I'm not at all saying it was, but did this episode feel like a series finale to anyone else?
South Park often speaks tongue-in-cheek about things, and just as often makes bold and offensive statements.
It doesn't really kick in til, commercials included, about the 20 minute mark
They'll never run out of material, but it has to end someday. I hope the series finale, whenever it does happen, is as good as this.

Nah. Episodes return in October.
They will NEVER run out of material, the meat of their plot is always current events. When their contract ends at the end of this season we should hope they don't decide to retire and move to Tahiti. South Park made them stupid rich.
Also, keep in mind that they have tons of twists that draw on very old episodes - it makes you really think, if your a hardcore fan.
*Spoilers*
Mysterion superpower is he can't die, because he is Kenny (genius)
Lu Kim is a white guy with multiple personalities (who else could he be? Garrison?)
Cartman's dad is Scott Tenerman's, and was fed to him (Titus Andronicus)
There is soooo much they have done, and can still do.

I absolutely agree. The question is whether they want to. I also said they're not even close to out of material, and one thing you have to love is how they stay away from the topics that you'd expect them to nail (Anthony Weiner, Osama's death) maybe because they're too easy.
Yeah last night's was a mid-season finale but it was very strange. I really enjoyed it, and all I meant was that it was written like I'd hope their eventual series finale is.
Noone keeps up with them on satire and clever metaphors. Simpsons has been running on steam, or steaming piles of something, for years and Family Guy while funny, can't keep up with South Park. Fox is probably more scared of offending people than CC.
All that speculation aside, I hope it stays on.

They would have tackled an episode about Weiner, and only to suspend the dude's name as an on-going dick joke. It just happened too recently to catch in this season's half. Might be too far down the pipeline to use later on as well.

That new episode "You're getting old" really touched my soul. I feel all this new music sounds like shit, these wow clones are shit, politics is shit, and I was laughing so hard tears were rolling down my face.
When South Park first came out, the first half, I didn't like it at all; the mindless bathroom humor without an interesting plot just didn't do it for me. The last half of these seasons are usually great.
In case you didn't get the Season Premier, like I didn't, I found out what it was based on yesterday.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1467304/
Apperantly, it was a pretty big movie among people who are into films and what not.

I only found out becuase the morning radio was talking about them banning the second one in England.

Oh my. I didn't now the Human IPad was based on that movie. I've seen that on Netflix for months now. I'm going to have to watch it now.
It probably was the most depressing (yet still hilarious) episode I've seen. Stan reminds me of myself in this one lol.
It did kinda feel like it could be a series closer.
Yeah, I thought it was one of the dumbest South Parks ever. Now that I understand where it came from, it makes it a little bit better. I still haven't seen the movie, cause I just found out about it yesterday. But, I'll have to check it out on Netflix this weekend. Thanks, I didn't know it was on there. :-D

I felt that way throughout the episode. I'm a very cynical person.

I didn't know about the movie either til after the season premiere but they managed to combine 3 aspects very well.
* This disgusting movie, lol.
* Company's approach to our data. -- I'm surprised they haven't hinted at, at least, the Sony incidents.
* Noone reads Terms of Service because they're written to be long and convoluted. They make no effort to highlight the changes and leave us to read 20 pages of legalese the first time, 22 pages the second, 23, onwards and upwards.
Some companies do make an effort to use simple english and short documents for terms of service, after all, not everything is top-secret, super-duper classified.

Well, that episode came out a couple months after a Supreme Court Ruling that basically says companies can include anything they want in their TOS and you as a consumer basically have no rights.
