　　Jerome turned off the TV. He had just watched a couple of "South Park"
cartoons. "South Park" is an amusing series about elementary school kids living
in a small town in Colorado.
        　　The first cartoon was about Herman, who wanted to become strong and
muscular. He asked his mother to buy a supplement that was advertised on TV. The
supplement was actually nothing but sugar, but the TV ad promised that it would
make you strong and muscular.
        　　Instead, it made Herman very fat. Worse, Herman refused to believe that he
had become fat. Even though all his friends were calling him Super Fat Boy, he
told them that he was Super Muscle Boy. Finally, when Herman walked onto the
stage to receive an award in the school auditorium, the stage collapsed. Then he
realized that maybe he WAS super fat.
        　　The second cartoon was about a dog that followed Lenny home. Lenny loved
the dog until he found out it was gay. Then he hated the dog. But Big Al took
Lenny to the city’s Home for Gay Animals. While there, Lenny decided that it was
okay to be gay. When he got home, he hugged his dog and took it for a walk. He
didn’t even mind when it sniffed other male dogs.
