The Ultimate South Park And Philosophy - Plot & Excerpts
More precisely, Cartman is a manipulative, self-centered bastard whose every action is directed either toward increasing his own happiness or decreasing the happiness of others. He deserves to be miserable. When misfortune befalls Cartman, we think it good. When fortune smiles on him, we think something evil has happened—he doesn’t deserve it. This is exactly the conclusion Kyle draws when Cartman gets his own amusement park. In the episode “Cartmanland,” Cartman learns that he’s the heir to his grandmother’s estate—just after he objects to being required to attend her funeral because it is “taking up [his] whole Saturday.” He inherits one million dollars, and uses the money to purchase the local amusement park, renaming it “Cartmanland,” and buying television commercial time to declare that the best thing about Cartmanland is, “You can’t come … especially Stan and Kyle.” For a time, Cartman is completely happy, spending all day, every day, riding any ride he wants without waiting in line.Understandably, Kyle views Cartman’s happiness as an evil.
