While South Park is not a perfect representation, it does do a remarkable job of illustrating how small towns can be affected by big, cheap, corporate companies. The social commentary draws on similar parallels of what we talked about today in class. Notice that the elderly are a big part of their work force and the level of discontent those shopping there feel. The prices simply keep them from stopping to go. You also get a good look of what happens with other competitors in town.
Take it with a grain of salt, but South Park does do a great job with social commentary.
