Cartman's Ozempic Treatment - South Park now enters the practice of slim injection.
A sneak peek for a fresh episode of "South Park," titled "The Demise of Obesity," features the show's central character, Eric Cartman, being swayed by the hype surrounding a weight-loss wonder medication. Typical of many celebrities, Cartman, rather than engaging in physical activity, opts for injections.
The popular animated series is set in the fictional Colorado town of South Park, where the protagonists include Cartman and three additional primary school boys. Randy, father to Cartman's friend Stan, mentions these "new crazed drugs" people are taking. The theme is later reiterated by a doctor, who rapidly suggests medication for Cartman and his mother, Liane, who desire to shed pounds rapidly.
Despite appearing as a fourth grader physically, Cartman is 10 years old, given his adult demeanor.
"Have you not heard of Semaglutide?" the doctor inquires, to which the astonished Cartman responds, "Semaglutide?" The doctor then elaborates on the drugs Ozempic and Mounjaro.
In reality, Semaglutide is a drug specifically developed to treat type 2 diabetes (a chronic condition that manifests when the pancreas can't produce sufficient insulin to digest blood sugar) and supports long-term weight management. It slows the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.
However, this medication does come with its risks. In the "Diary of a CEO" podcast, renowned American physician and best-selling author Mark Hyman (64) sounded a warning bell, stating, "The pancreatitis risk increases by 900% when taking Ozempic."
Kyle, Cartman's friend, expresses concerns about the potential dangers. Nevertheless, Cartman, dressed only in his briefs, dismisses cautions and simply declares, "Let's do it." To which Butters, their classmate, adds, "We've survived the American healthcare system. I nearly perished," referencing their adventures through the healthcare system.
Fans can expect to witness Cartman's weight loss journey with the miraculous drug or whether he opts for the quick fat-dissolving injection on Paramount+. These socially-critical special episodes are exclusive to the platform.
The regular season of the series airs on free TV on Comedy Central and is currently in its 27th season.
