http://www.southparkstudios.com/news/3754

From the Comedy Central Press Release:

NEW YORK, October 26, 2009 – The Japanese are on a mad-hunt to kill all the world’s dolphins and whales in an all-new "South Park" titled, "Whale Whores," premiering on Wednesday, October 28 at 10:00 p.m. on COMEDY CENTRAL.

Stan and his family are spending his birthday at the Denver Aquarium where they will get to swim with the dolphins. Things turn bloody when the Japanese attack, kill all the dolphins and ruin Stan’s big day. There seems to be no end to the senseless killing. Stan takes on the cause to save the dolphins from the Japanese.

Brilliant. I wonder if they will be as inept as the Sea Shepherds.

This seems tied to the new documentary "The Cove," which is about the dolphin killing industry and has been making waves on the festival circuit (including recently at the Tokyo Film Fest where fishing execs walked out in protest).

They pretty much nailed the Sea Shepherds dead on

Cartman's singing "Poker Face" was hilarious

After what happened to the Miami Dolphins, does anyone find it short-sighted for the boys from South Park to frame The Cows?

Very good episode. Cartman singing Poker Face was hilarious. Randy was also hilarious when he wanted a kiss from the dolphin.

..and then Cartman yelling into the microphone.

By the way, I can never recognize the kids without their hats.

Awesome episode but was kinda disappointed Hayden Panettiere wasn't involved.

Great half season so far.

Good to see the Chiefs finally figured out how to win a game.
Course, somebody else had to do it...

Too bad South Park didn't mock Peter Brown. The whole ship hates him. Here's some Whale Wars footage for people who never seen the show.

So far season 13.5 is taking a giant weewee all over the first half.

Having seen a couple episodes of Whale Wars and vowing to watch never again, I absolutely loved this episode. Spot on!

I didnt like it so much. I think it was just that three episodes in a row, especially the last two, that take aim at current tv shows was a bit much and kinda' lazy.
Once and awhile is fine, but hopefully next week they dont revolve the plot around mocking Top Chef, American Chopper, or more such nonsense.

This episode was absolutely hilarious. Especially since a former hippie co-worker of mine quit his job and joined the Sea Shepherd crew and did pretty much jack shit the entire time.

Loved Cartman singing Lady Gaga.

It's great they pointed out that they've been doing this for years and haven't gotten anything accomplished aside from trying to grab TV ratings. One documentary like "The Cove" will have 1000x more impact on saving dolphins and whales than 10 seasons of Whale Wars.

Could someone describe the very end? My DVR cut off right as they showed the pic of the bomber with the dolphin and whale in it.

Cartman singing was funny, Randy wanting to kiss the Dolphin etc.

Cartman singing Poker Face is one of my favorite South Park moments of the season!

what the hell is wrong with Comedy Central - my DVR when it records the allotted 30min time slot seems to clip off the last minute (or less) - this has happened to the last couple of episodes I've recorded.
