Who Was That Fat Man?

The Lone Ranger may not have been popping up so much on TV over the past decade, but he's snuck in here and there. Tonight, I caught the final part of South Park's brilliant "Imaginationland Trilogy," and there he was, riding past a rampaging Santa Claus who had just beheaded Captain Hook.

Gotta love how he gets that "Hi-Yo" kick in there at the end.

If you haven't seen it, that trilogy is a pop culture goldmine. The villains go from Cobra Commander to Darkseid to Freddy Krueger to the Mordred from Excalibur! Crazy fun and one of the best arguments ever for satire's protection against copyright suits.
