"Fun with Veal" is episode 605 of the Comedy Central series South Park. It originally aired on April 3, 2002.
[edit] Plot
The boys, (Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Butters), go on a field trip to a farm. They see a bunch of baby calves and discover, to their horror, that they are what veal is made of. The boys decide they want to save them (except for Cartman, but he gets dragged into it). They rescue the calves and bring them to Stan's house, and when their parents discover them, the boys barricade the door until they are promised the calves will be safe.
The situation turns into a standoff, and the boys are declared terrorists. The little food they have was smuggled in by Mrs. Cartman; it contains meat, but Stan, the sole member of the group devoted enough to become a full vegetarian (the others are only for baby calves), eats only apples. Thanks to a terrible FBI negotiator, the boys manage to get weaponry, as well as a cattle truck driven by Michael Dorn, the actor who plays Worf (in full make-up) that can take them and the calves to the airport so that they can escape to Mexico. Meanwhile, Stan comes down with a strange illness, and developed strange sores all over his face.
The truck gets captured, but at this point, the rancher to whom the calves legally belong declares that he doesn't want them back; since veal is now known as "tortured little baby calves", the market dried up, and they are worthless. At this point of victory, Stan is so sick he is rushed to the hospital. Stan is confined to his hospital bed for two weeks with a condition called Vaginitis, which occurs when one stops eating meat and causes vaginas to break out all over the body and if they had not stopped it in time Stan would have eventually turned into 'A Giant Pussy'. The other boys get grounded, but happily go out for burgers with their parents before heading home after they all changed their minds.
[edit] Trivia
- When the news is reported about the boys and how they locked themselves in a room with calves the news reporter said three boys when there are four boys in the room (Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Butters)
- When the ranch owner suggests lying to the children about promising the calves' safety, Mrs. Marsh says that she cannot lie to her son, because she'd pay for it for the rest of her life. However, in a later episode "My Future Self n' Me", both she and Mr. Marsh lie to Stan about his future self coming back in time, and even go as far as to mutilate him when Stan cuts his hand off.
- The real Michael Dorn admitted on an interview at StarTrek.com that he is a major South Park fan and wished that Matt Stone and Trey Parker had asked him to appear.
- In the original Comedy Central/Comedy Network version, the doctor says that if Stan wasn't treated sooner for his vaginitis, he would have turned into "a giant pussy". Syndicated reruns redub this with "giant vagina".The joke about Stan being a "giant pussy" is that, when Stan refused to eat meat, Cartman said not eating meat turned him into a pussy.
- Michael Dorn wears a Pasadena City College shirt in this episode, referencing his status as one of the school's most well-known alumni.
