Editing Chinpokomon (episode) (section)

===Description===
The boys and every other kid in town become fascinated with ''Chinpokomon'', a Japanese franchise that centers around fictional creatures called "Chinpokomon" and spans cartoons, video games and toys. The parents disapprove of the franchise's popularity as they see it has no intellectual value and is simply a marketing scheme to take money from their children. Nonetheless, South Park's kids continue to flock to the toy store to purchase Chinpokomon products.

At the same time, Kyle struggles to keep up with the latest fad. He asks his parents for money to buy Chinpokomon dolls, but his dad Gerald explains he shouldn't follow fads just because everyone else is. Kyle reasons that if he doesn't he will get bullied. Gerald quickly understands and gives Kyle enough money to buy dolls for both him and Ike. When at the toy shop, Kyle agrees with the owner that he doesn't know what kids see in Chinpokomon.

After Chinpokomon toys and video games, the next popular thing is a special Chinpokomon camp that all the kids including Kyle attend. Here, the real reason behind the collecting craze is revealed by Emperor Hirohito. The kids are being fed military tactics and propaganda through their toys and games to bring down the American government. Soon they will be used as pawns to pilot jets to suicide bomb Pearl Harbor. 

Seeing their kids have been essentially brainwashed, the adults try to snap them out of it. Yet, whenever any adults step in, the Japanese successfully distract them by telling them how large American penises. In the nick of time, South Park's grownups figure out how to counter the Chinpokomon threat. As the kids board their fighter jets to attack Pearl Harbor, their parents inform their kids that they now like Chinpokomon too.

Suddenly Chinpokomon is lame and the kids immediately abandon the plan. All except Kyle, who is again late to what's going on. Stan gives a speech on how group mentality is bad, so Kyle decides he needs to bomb Pearl Harbor to be an individual. Stan retracts his lesson, stating group mentality is sometimes good. Confused, Kyle simply gives up.
