South Park's 'Twisted Christian' Sparks Controversy With Satire of 6-7 Meme, Peter Thiel, Greta Thunberg
South Park's season 28 premiere, 'Twisted Christian', has sparked controversy and laughter with its satirical take on current events. The episode, which aired on February 2, 2022, targets various topics, including the 6-7 meme, Peter Thiel's beliefs, and even Greta Thunberg.
The episode begins by poking fun at the 6-7 meme, a collective joke among children that originated from rapper Skrilla's song 'Doot Doot'. In 'Twisted Christian', Jesus Christ adopts aspects of PC Principal's aggressive Christianity, leading to a bizarre twist on traditional religious themes.
Billionaire tech investor Peter Thiel, known for his role in founding Palantir, makes an appearance in the episode. He lectures South Park children about the antichrist, raising concerns about Palantir's data practices and Thiel's own beliefs. Thiel has previously suggested that Greta Thunberg could be the antichrist, a notion that the episode playfully explores.
Meanwhile, Cartman becomes obsessed with the 6-7 meme, mirroring demonic possession from the classic film 'The Exorcist'. This storyline weaves together with the others, creating a chaotic and humorous narrative that reflects the show's signature irreverence.
With 'Twisted Christian', South Park continues to push boundaries and spark conversation. The episode's exploration of the 6-7 meme, Peter Thiel's beliefs, and Greta Thunberg demonstrates the show's commitment to satirizing contemporary issues. While some viewers may find the content controversial, others will appreciate the show's bold and often hilarious take on the world.
