South Park takes on Tron and Facebook in latest episode

TRON: LEGACY is still about 8 months away but last night's "South Park" already took the characters into the world of "Tron." The episode ostensibly centers around Facebook and what happens when one person doesn't want to participate when everyone around them does. Kyle, Cartman and Kenny set up a page for Stan who wants no part of it but once his family and friends at school realize he's on, they won't let him not participate. Soon his profile becomes more popular than he is and Stan is forced to enter the world of Facebook and battle Profile Stan (except in this "Tron" world there are no lightcycle races...). You can check out a clip from that scene below or head here to watch the entire episode.

Extra Tidbit: I think I'm the only one I know who's not on Facebook.

50 bucks says that 99% of everyone here has a Facebook page.

I don't have one, because my 55yo Mom asked me to add her about 2 years ago, and I ran screaming, never to think about it again until now.

Pretty sad that these amazing fellows had to make an episode of TV -- that probably cost 100K -- just so they could remind everyone out there of their mass-retardation.

Yes, because its the 99% of people who like and find something useful that are members of the 'mass-retardation'.

That 1% of people that don't have Facebook are the real winners.

"I don't follow your trend. I'm so cool"

Psssh. Get over yourself. lol
