Story

Cartman admits that he is obese, after which he begins to move with the help of a mobile scooter like all other fat people. Kyle is very worried that the level of human dignity in people has fallen very much when he saw on TV a reality show And here is Hani Bubu ( born Here Comes Honey Boo Boo ), heroizing a young, ill-bred fat girl. Kyle turns to Token for help in making a documentary on obesity. However, Token sees in this project not only moral prospects.

In the meantime, James Cameron sinks to the bottom of the ocean, hoping at least to find the bar there.
