Applied Epistemology

I recently received a call for papers -- for a book on South Park and Philosophy.

"Possible themes and topics might include, but are not limited to, the following: Stan's grandpa, Kenny's feeding tube, and the ethics of life and death; Christopher Reeve and Stem Cell Research; Elephants, pigs, and cloning; Harbucks, Something Wal-Mart This Way Comes, and the goods and bads of corporations; Cartman And Hobbesian Egoism; Skuzzlebut and the ethics of hunting and/or gun control; Big Gay Al, Mr. Garrison, and gay rights; Timmy and Disability; Drugs are bad, Mmkay? Towelie, Ritalin, and the ethics of drug-usage; The Chewbacca defense, stinky britches, and legal ethics; Existential angst: Why we look forward to Kenny's death every episode; Camus And The Pointlessness Of SP; Our world and Heaven/Hell, Kenny's body and Kenny's soul: Cartesian dualism or metaphysical materialism in SP; Pissant white-bread towns and racism in SP; The Passion of the Jew and the use and abuse of free speech in SP; Plato's Virtue Ethics And The Parent As Role Model In SP; over-the-top stereotypes and moral messages in SP; Jesus, Santa Claus, and Atheism; Chef and Scientology; The place of SP in a pluralistic society; Aristotelian Versus Machiavellian Virtue And Vice In SP."

I can't even bear to paste the suggested topics for The Family Guy and Philosophy. I would suggest: "The Nadir of the Cartoon: Unoriginal Pop Culture References, Plagiarizing The Simpsons, and Crap Animation Passed Off As Humor."
