The boys witness a television advert appealing for donations to third world countries where every day children die of starvation. The appeal is made by Sally Struthers (again, a celebrity I am not aware of but whom Trey and Matt clearly dislike), a morbidly obese woman perhaps not best suited to preaching about lack of food. For sponsoring one of the starving children, the advert declares a free sports watch up for grabs, and so the boys call up to sponsor a child. Only, instead of a sports watch, an Ethiopian child is delivered to South Park, by the name of Marvin. Cartman, having spent the entire episode unable to relate to the plight of people suffering famine, ends up confused with Marvin and sent to Africa, where he spends some hilarious scenes trawling through the desert, before stumbling across a secret shack filled with food. Inside, he finds Sally Struthers stuffing her face with cake. Outraged, Cartman alerts everybody to what is really going on, and soon Ms Struthers finds herself tied to a spit-roast. Meanwhile, violent turkeys genetically mutated by the brilliantly crazed Mafesto attack the town, foaming at the mouth and slaughtering all who stand in their path. In a somewhat tired parody of Braveheart, Chef rallies everybody round to lead an attack on the turkeys, driving them from South Park. The fact that Cartman starts crawling around on all fours believing he is going to die of starvation after only a few hours in the desert is a perfect example of the spoiled, western mindset. Favourite bit: Sally Struthers screaming, “Nooo, this is my caaaake!” when Cartman tries to wrestle it from her.
