My #1 Darwin Award, from my own experiences as a firefighter and paramedic, goes to the lady who had her toddler drink nail polish remover as a "remedy" to the nail polish the child had just drank!

Whether you like the controversial animated series South Park or not is a matter of taste. But there are a few episodes I highly recommend in which organized religion is satirized with biting accuracy. 

Recommended Episodes to Watch 

Episode 3-11: Starvin’ Marvin in Space 

Don't miss this one!  It is truly a classic!  Pat Robertson and his 700 Club, along with missionaries in general, take a (well-deserved) beating!

Marvin stops in South Park to pick up the boys and take them to the planet Marklar. The Marklarians are willing to let the Ethiopians relocate to their world and the Christian channel does all they can to stop them.   --Comedy Central
