1.       The use of appropriation and intertextuality in satire:
Cherub.
Dear makers of South Park,
I have proposed an episode for your television series that I believed would be very good and easily saterised. The Cherub series is a book in which children are trained to be spies so that they will not be easily detected by the drug lords or the adults.
In my episode it would be from the parents perspective when they are realizing that they have been foiled by a child and how stupid they look. They all meet up on Saturdays and discuss how to uncover whether the child is a spy or an everyday kid otherwise they will look like an absolute fool and they do not want to look like a fool as they are way to powerful and don't want to ruin their "good image" as a drug lord. So the drug lords devise different traps that always make them look ridiculously stupid and the police always wonder how they are caught by these kids even though they are criminal geniuses. 
The reason that children are so obsessed with this series of book is the fact that they wish they could be like the child spy within the book. The children that read this book generally have a decent or perfect life but the kids within the book are a lot different. Although it looks like they're lives are perfect they have actually lost their parents and are constantly in danger. But they don't realize that they actually have it very well off.
Thank you and I hope you are able to use my episode idea.
