The boys at “South Park” always likes to toss in a big Hollywood movie parody or two in their episodes. Last week they took a swipe at James Cameron’s “Avatar”, and this week it’s Roland Emmerich’s disaster epic “2012″. In the episode, the boys go to the local Splash Town-ish water park, where Cartman gets incense at all the minorities there, while all the peeing in the water results in a massive tsunami of, well, pee destroying the park in a “2012″-ish sequence. It’s all very silly and completely over-the-top ridiculous — you know, like the actual movie.

Open Discussion Thread: 2012
We’ve been covering Roland Emmerich’s “2012″ since it was announced in February of 2008. Almost two years later, the film explodes its way into theater this Friday, and no one and nothing is safe. Emmerich and company ponders the end of the world in “2012″ by way of the Maya Calendar, which depending on your belief, either foretells the end of the world in December 2012, or, well, doesn’t. That’s all fine and well, but the real question isn’t whether the Maya Calendar predicts the end of days, but if the movie was worth your time.
Roland Emmerich Wants Double The Independence Day Sequel Fun
I am one Sci-Fi fan that never tires of films where the aliens come down to Mother Earth and think that we humans will be as easy to conquer as butter, only to see us rise up and deliver a serious lesson in smackdown.

What Roland Emmerich Couldn’t Obliterate
I am confident in reporting that in “2012″, an imminent digital masterpiece by director Roland Emmerich, your favorite phallic monument or architectural wonder is going to be completely squashed. However, in deciding which statue, building, city or structure was going to be tidal waved, rolled, or dropped core-ward toward the spicy molten center of mother Earth, Roland had to be careful, because political correctness is taken a bit more seriously in some places.
The Cast Of Roland Emmerich’s 2012 Wax On about the Return Of Quetzalcoatl!
My significant spouse and I are debating whether to go to “2012″. I, naturally, am firmly in the “Yup” camp as destruction of this quality and scope comes perhaps once in a Sci-Fi movie going lifetime. The spouse unit thinks that maybe the movie could be depressing and perhaps a “cryer”. A sobbing wife in public is a troubling thing, fraught with hormonal minefields with plenty of room for stupid husbandy fumblings. So, I may go alone and make it a reporters outing. I’m with you Roland!

Mayan Calendar Has Another Disturbing Warning
Besides the big warning, you know, the one where the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar ends, finishing up the whole sordid 5125 year business of walking along as happy bipeds (unless you got sacrificed after losing a football game) on or about Dec 21 or 23 in 2012, those prognosticating Mayans foretold another less widely known disaster, concerning a certain German movie director.
New 2012 Clip Shows Woody Always Knew
