South Park

In class when Kristin told us about the reclamation of he term Crip, I couldn't help but think about this episode of South Park (here is the link).  In the episode, Jimmy and Timmy try to start their own group for crippled people which they call "The Crips"  they later find out that there is already a group called The Crips and end up joining the gang.  Anyway the episode touches on a lot of different topics related to disability.  I just thought I would put it up in case anyone wanted to watch it.  It might be interesting in thinking about the way disability is dealt with in different areas of popular culture.
