00:00South Park is once again making headlines

00:02with its latest episode, which mocks LeBron James

00:05and his recent comments about the conflict

00:06between China and the NBA.

00:08In Wednesday's episode, titled Let Them Eat Goo,

00:11the lunches at South Park Elementary School

00:12are switched with healthier options

00:14after some students complain.

00:16You think you can just mess with a man's lunch?

00:18It's okay, Eric.

00:18You think your ideas about how the nutrition

00:21should be somehow interfering with that?

00:22Eric, Eric.

00:23Cartman, of course, becomes irate over the change

00:25and goes off when one of the students

00:27in favor of healthier lunches says they have the right

00:29to protest unhealthy options and have freedom of speech.

00:33Cartman then yells,

00:34yes, we do have freedom of speech,

00:35but at times there are ramifications for the negative

00:38that can happen when you are not thinking about others

00:40and only thinking about yourself.

00:42Sound familiar?

00:43Yes, we all do have freedom of speech,

00:45but at times there are ramifications for the negative

00:47that can happen when you're not thinking about others

00:51and you're only thinking about yourself.

00:52As seen in that clip from ABC7,

00:54James gave that exact quote days ago

00:56when he was asked about Houston Rockets general manager

00:59Daryl Morey, who tweeted his support for protesters

01:01in Hong Kong and created a tidal wave of backlash with China.

01:05Following James' comments, the NBA star was heavily criticized

01:08for seemingly siding with the league.

01:14with the country, including the NBA.

01:16As for the rest of the Wednesday show,

01:18the Comedy Central series went pretty hard

01:20at the new plant-based meat craze.

01:23with its impossible Whopper.

01:25Come and visit your town's only plant-based burger joint.

01:28It's not the town's only plant-based burger joint.
