I love South Park, but missed this episode. I was only able to watch about three minutes of the film. How do I watch the whole thing?

I'm concerned about copyright on this so I googled South Park and watched it from what looked like an official link from Comedy Central.

[Edit to add: it really is very funny, I too enjoy "South Park."]

I found the section describing the Treasury Department's mechanism for valuing assets and determining the correct course of action to be particularly insightful and informative.

It reminds me of the methodology I used for picking optimal investments for my portfolio years ago. (Then I got better... )
