[NEW] South Park Magic the Gathering Episode (is this a poke at Bitcoin?)

The Rundown:
The boys geek out: “Does an overseer have trample?” —Stan

“Kenny cast Glacial Crasher.” —Cartman

Stan gets mean: “Dude, girls’ volleyball isn’t a joke. Jokes are hard and require skill.”

Butters is so undeniably cute: “Dang it, I wish I knew people.”

How do we know if Kenny smiled? Cartman asks Kenny to smile and says he thinks Kenny did, but how can we be so sure? A question that has plagued us all 18 seasons!

Besides all the odd jargon, this episode was surprisingly … normal. There was no connection to previous episodes or live action. What gives, Matt and Trey?

Jokes are hard, akin to building ASIC-based miners is hard. ~Josh Zerlan of BFL

I don't think it has anything to do with bitcoin.

Stan's dad Cock Magic is quite impressive.

Go Cows! as in Josh Zerlan's CowMail, seen here while the boys are introduced to Cock Magic, cock as in Jody Drake's chickens.

i think people are reading too much into it.

for instance i can see the picture which gleb just posted and see a water dispenser with a + on it. and the poster of "go cows". and using these two things to talk about the red cross charity with its water and farming projects.

i could also go into how the star and cross are religious symbols and make a talk about some religious link that a magical gathering is about religious miracles.

in short if you replaced magic gathering with world of warcraft, the plot wont break apart.. because... its nothing to do with bitcoin

If a "fat" man is shown controlling a large website and then at the end loses several hundred million dollars, then you know it's about bitcoin!

Or, Go Cows = GoCoins, and that Cavity where that + water dispenser is could easily hold 3 such devices as in C+++.

Also, note that all the Cock Magic events were held secretly.

The girls volleyball match was just a red herring... Or was it?

And, let's not forget...

Looks like a promo thread for south park magic the gathering

[cbeast]

MtG has been around longer than South Park and they are only just getting to it? They should do a South Park about South Park.

I'm guessing this thread is a joke. If it's not, this must be the only south park episode you have ever seen? The "Math is Universal" poster has been featured in MANY other episodes, as well as the "Go Cows!" poster, as that is the mascot of South Park Elementary.
