Editing Gnomes (section)

==Story==
The boys are assigned to write a report with Tweek, a very nervous and highly caffeinated boy who insists gnomes are stealing his underpants.

===Description===
Mr. Garrison's job is on thin ice. To prove he's a good teacher he tells his kids to prepare oral presentations on current events for the South Park Town Committee. To their disappointment, the boys are paired up with Tweek, an extremely twitchy kid obsessed with Underpants Gnomes -- tiny men who visit his room every night at 3:30 a.m. to steal his undergarments.

Tweek's nervousness is explained when he invites Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny to his home for a sleepover. His parents run a coffee shop and aren't shy about giving their son and the other boys enough java to send them into a caffeine-fueled frenzy. That night the gnomes file in at 3:30 a.m. to steal several pairs of Tweek's underwear. But the kids are so burnt out from their coffee buzz that none of them except for Tweek notice.

Aware that the boys are having trouble coming up with a topic for their paper, Tweek's dad volunteers to write one for them. It's about his store's struggle against a huge coffee shop chain called Harbucks Coffee. The kids read the paper aloud to the South Park Town Committee, which promptly creates a special proposition called Prop 10 to kick the coffee chain out of town. Mr. Garrison suspects the boys cheated, but tells them they must stick to their story since his job is at stake.

The kids panic when they learn they have to talk about corporate greed at a Prop 10 rally. While gathered at Tweek's house to figure out what to do, they finally encounter the Underpants Gnomes. The magical creatures take the boys to their underground lair and explain their not-very-well-thought-out plan for making money with underpants.

In exchange for the boys' underwear, the Gnomes agree to tell them about the nature of corporations. At the rally before the no-Harbucks proposition is to be voted on, the kids state that corporations do a lot of good and that they didn't write their previous presentation. Mrs. Tweak, upset that her husband used the boys as pawns, encourages everyone to try Harbucks Coffee which turns out to be pretty good. "It doesn't have that bland, raw sewage taste that Tweak's coffee has," someone remarks.

"We've been using these poor kids to pull at your heartstrings for our cause and it's wrong. We're as low and despicable as Rob Reiner."
