Yelp sues... South Park
 
Yelp Sues South Park for 10 Million Over Episode

I couldn't contain myself with their response.

We’ve taken a hard look at the information presented to us, and after reviewing it, we have given Yelp and their lawsuit only one star.
If only it were true...

It's kind of stupid for Yelp to sue South Park. It only draws more attention to the episode, which I now want to watch.

Steve Carlton 10-21-2015 06:48 AM

Yep!

Gogar 10-21-2015 06:59 AM

I'm watching it right now, only because I saw the article!

Are they attacking YELP or the stupid YELP reviewers?

Esel Mann 10-21-2015 08:06 AM

I guess now I need to get a high-visibility vest and emboss "I'M NOT A YELPER" in bold in both front and back for when I eat-out.

That episode brought back the vivid memories of what restaurant staff do to the food when the customer pisses them off....

I watched it. Classic South Park skewering of many different things but mostly the users. YELP is only going to draw negative attention to themselves pursuing this.

From the article:

"Fappy The Anti-Masturbation Dolphin, a mascot for a Christian anti-masturbation organization, says the company is losing business because of Yelp reviewers.

“Before being listed on Yelp we had no problem going around the country speaking to elementary school children about the dangers and consequences of masturbation. Now, with our poor reviews on Yelp, people are beginning to question our morals and ethics, like that is so important. Just because I have been arrested three times for public masturbation and each case was pardoned by the Governor, doesn’t mean our federal funding and government support had anything to do with it. With the assumptions made by Yelp reviewers, they are causing deadly self-rape addictions in this country to continue and in the end it is Big Masturbation that wins. Such a shame.” "

What sort of photos does he have of the Governor? Three times! Wow.

I wonder if little masturbation even had a chance. What is the difference. SO many questions so little time.

Yea - I couldn't figure out what those 2 or 3 paragraphs were doing stuck in the middle of the yelp/southpark article.

gtc 10-21-2015 12:40 PM

Guys... in case Fappy the Dolphin weren't obvious enough... *it's a joke*... look at the address for that article: nbc.com.co

GH85Carrera 10-21-2015 12:43 PM

Gosh really!

Oh Haha 10-22-2015 04:55 AM

The episode was on last night. Pretty darn funny!

They also had another about "charity shaming" at the cash register.

Yelp Suing ‘South Park’? Not Exactly

As it turns out, Yelp has a sense of humor

We are happy to report that Yelp is not suing Comedy Central or the creators of South Park.

Headlines to the contrary are yet another case of Parody Taken Seriously.

Last week, a South Park episode called, “You’re Not Yelping,” skewered the popular restaurant review site Yelp.



Yelp also took to Twitter to assure followers the whole ordeal was fake:


As Abraham Lincoln once said, you can't believe everything you read on the internet.

If you can stand the commercials:
You're Not Yelping - Full Episode - Season 19 - Ep 04 | South Park Studios
