A fun South Park with an unlikely crime to solve
Comedy Central was doing a South Park marathon yesterday and this episode came on. It is fun to see South Park before it began to try and lecture the audience, even if it is lecturing from a libertarian viewpoint and poking fun at political correctness.
All around town, somebody is sexually assaulting chickens. Worse for Officer Barbrady is that the perpetrator is leaving notes at the crime scene saying that the next clue is in books. Why is this bad for Barbrady? Because he can't read. He admits this to the town, and the town gives him paid leave while he goes back to elementary school to learn to read. Unfortunately for the town of South Park, two things happen. Barbrady decides he really likes being a kid again and doesn't hurry his project of learning to read along at all. Second, Cartman really likes being Barbrady's deputy in the meantime, and he seems to think that police brutality is part of the job.
How will this all work out? Well for sure, somebody is going to kill Kenny like they do every week, but for the rest, watch and find out.

Respect My... Love For Chickens
This is a great one, only because of Cartman. That's right, I said it, Cartman saved the day. Is it sad that Officer Barbrady can't read? Yes. It's also sad that homeless people exist, therefore I do not have to enjoy Officer Barbradys A plot. 8.2 For Cartman.
Cartman as a police officer!
ChickenLover is a very funny South Park episode which features Cartman as a police officer and the first time he says "Respect My Authoritah".There is a man going around having sex with chickens.He leaves clues to where he will hit next, but Officer Barbrady cannot read.He quits and South Park goes into total chaos.The mayor sends Barbrady back to school so he can learn to read but school does not help him much.So the boys decide to teach him how to read the clues and the books needed to catch the chickenf****r(or chickenlover).Meanwhile, Cartman fills in for Barbrady and catches criminals! ChickenLover is a funny and good South Park episode!
Small Doses
I would like to rate this episode higher but I can't due to Barbrady's voice. It's just so Annoying! In small doses it's okay but you have to endure so much of his yammering in this episode.
Cartman as A cop is the highlight!
