I'm a huge South Park fan, but the Passion of the Jew episode is probably the only episode I don't like. I didn't quite understand why they had to make Mel Gibson look like a complete lunatic. If it was an allusion to his Lethal Weapon character, it was poorly done.
Otherwise, SOUTH PARK RULES!

It is parody. If you don't like them making fun of Mel, then don't laugh when they make fun of Streisand. I am sure she doesn't like it either. :)

It took me a while to get that epsiode as well, but the joke is on all those who labeled Gibson a zealot. By making Gibson a slobbering fool, they were portraying him the way that many of his detractors described him. He obviously isn't crazy like he was portrayed in that episode, and the dig is at all those who described him as a mad zealot and anti-semite for making the Passion. All in all, it was good episode, but they probably went a little too deep for most of their audience.
