Has anyone ever seen the movie The Wicker Man? Not the lame Nicolas Cage remake, but the original British one from 30 years ago? Well, this episode immediately made me think of that movie. Didn't even think of the Shirley Jackson connection. . . very cool ! I love South Park and all of these random references.

prey thoes, athoes atimus . I really love the stupid people in southpark so they can sing stuff like this .

good storyline, but the blown of head was a little stupid

Im writing a college paper on The Lottery and using this episode as a source actually! Its awesome and the professor loves it!! I saw the episode before I read the story but as soon as I read the story this immediately clicked in my head!

The lottery is packed with a lot more religious content than this though.

Satire at its best lampoons the society it arises out of. This was brilliantly, bitterly incisive. No, not a LOL and yes rather dark. Daring; and no, not everyone will get it! It's not about Britney! It's about how we need to do this - deify and destroy - to compensate for - and magicalize - our dry, powerless, humdrum lives. No wonder "we" don't like it. Not escapism. Too close to the truth. Way to go SP! My young teenage son gets it.

Warning: rant

All I can say is... WHAT THE HELL. The episode seemed to start off OK, and it was fine until Britney shot herself in the head. Then, it turned really annoying. After she did that, I didn't even crack a smile. I never laughed, not even in the beginning. The middle was the worst, but the end wasn't too great either. It was just them and Britney running around. The lack of hilarity is very clear, it really wasn't as good. I'm just glad the next episode didn't suck this badly.

And another thing... Stan and Kyle trying to stop them from hurting Britney was what I thought was the best part. But then they totally submitted. That is NOTHING like the characters I know. You say "They just felt helpless" why didn't they ever do this before, then? With all the craziness in their town, I'd bet my ass they have felt helpless before, but they NEVER submitted like this then. So why now? It's just really out of character for them.

And for the n00bs saying "You gotta look for the message LOL" Well, I did find the message, I even agreed with it, but that doesn't mean I like this episode. There are times when I still liked episodes with messages I didn't agree with. But they were funny, and well executed. This was not. AT ALL. The episode had so much potential, too...

Finally, for all the n00bs saying "You must a dumbass if you didn't like this" well I think YOU'RE the only dumbass. Who went and gave you the right to troll honest fans when you've been here for less than a day? Huh? Who? That's right. NOBODY. So don't insult people who don't agree with you; it just makes you look stupid.

In summary, I agree with Shane's earlier rants. I myself think this is the worst episode. Worse then Not without my anus. Worse than Jackofasaurus. Worse than everything.

1/10

OMG, JUST LEAVE MILEY CYRUS ALONE!! WTF ??! I DONT BELIVE TO THIS....

Well, i thought when she was singing at the awards was funny...how they said she was lip syncing when she had no lips lol!.....but yea the ending was weird but i figure not every episode can be full laughs all the time. I didn't mind it though. But then again, i've been down so anything has cheered me up lately lol.

I've just recently gotten into the South Park series, but I thought this episode had a great message about the media. However, I didn't quite like how they used Britney as a sacrifice for corn harvest...I think that whole idea went a little over the top. Also, I understand how Stan and Kyle gave up in the end, but I didn't really like how they joined in with the chanting. I did like how they showed Hannah Montana in the end to show how the media is never going to give up. Over all, I thought it was a pretty good episode.

ohmygod ohmygod today i read the short story the lottery and now i know where the whole scene where britney died came from. that was genius

i thought this episode was mint, i dont know why people dont like it

when i watch episodes like this one i really miss the good old SP irreverence.

Boring. Hate when SP becomes preachy... they exaggerate, too much drama for a cartoon like this.

I like this episode Kyle looks awesome dressed up like Brittney spears. Way better then cartman from Awesome-O. I like how afteer ppl found out he's not really Brittney spears (how would they think he's Brittney spears unless she shrunk and suddenly grew the top part of her head ) he just kept the disguise on for the rest of the show, til the very end. And the ending with Kyle and Stan finaly joining in on their towns stupidity was funny too. Usually theyd go against their town, but not this town. I guess they got tired of going against them, so they decided to join them. Lol

Not me, Imma squirrel LOL

I think in about a year, we will be ready for the next harvest!!! Lmao! they so called miley cyrus being the next hollywood star to spiral out of contorl. What a fantastic episode. I remember when i saw this, i was like... "no way is the disney star going to have that happen to her.." but they hit the nail on the head. She is 18, and will soon make for a great harvest.
SANCTU DO ME NU!!
