Wikipedia article of the day for September 4, 2018

The Wikipedia article of the day for September 4, 2018 is South Park.
"Starvin' Marvin" is the eighth episode in the first season of the American animated television series South Park. It first aired on Comedy Central on November 19, 1997. A satire on the humanitarianism industry and American indifference toward impoverished countries, it was written and directed by series co-creator Trey Parker (pictured). In the episode, Cartman, Kenny, Kyle and Stan send money to an African charity hoping to get a sports watch, but are instead sent an Ethiopian child they call "Starvin' Marvin". In a Thanksgiving-themed subplot, genetically engineered turkeys attack South Park. The episode received generally positive reviews, and several commentators have described it as a classic episode. It was originally viewed by about 2.2 million households, roughly eight times Comedy Central's average viewership at the time. In addition to Starvin' Marvin, who became a popular minor character, the episode introduced Kyle's father Gerald Broflovski and Kenny's family members Stuart, Carol and Kevin McCormick.
