In the New Mobility magazine, the November 2005 issue, it had a good article about a poll in England to pick the greatest TV disabled character--the winner was the TV cartoon character "Timmy" of South Park. He even won over Dr. Kerry Weaver of ER.

I found the article a few years ago and found it again today and thought it really brought together the way South Park treated disability and as I watch the show I realized they put disability right out there. They have done several shows focusing on disabled issues.

One of the funniest episodes was when Timmy and Jimmy (both disabled) went about finding the Crips to join, thinking it was a group of "cripples".

A good rule of life is do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup
