Costa Rica steamed over South Park episode

[FifthColumn]

Costa Rican government officials don’t think South Park is one bit funny. Why? Because a recent episode places the characters in the Carribean country declaring, among other things, that it smells…”like ass”:

The main characters, a group of children, are on a trip to San San José, capital of the Central American country, aboard a bus from which a teacher shows them the city.
The woman explains that Costa Rica is a third world country, as the children observe through the windows prostitutes, shantytowns and trash, and they complain of the smell “of ass” that they detect in an unidentified government building.
​

Government officials are not amused. According to Spain’s 20 Minutos, Costa Rica’s Tourism Minister, Carlos Benavides, put it like this:

“We should look at it as the trash that it is. It’s a program of that nature on a network designed for people with a lowly upbringing and bad customs.

I think that that might have been the very first episode of South Park I ever saw.

I just about laughed myself off my chair when it became apparent how much Cartman hated hippies.

I wonder if the Costa Ricans know what "ass" is? It could mean "wonderful smelling mommasita" in Costa Rican Spanish.
