"Reverse Cowgirl" is the first episode of the sixteenth season of the American animated sitcom ''South Park'', and the 224th episode of the series overall. It premiered on Comedy Central in the United States on March 14, 2012. In the episode, a nationwide catastrophe occurs after Clyde's mother is killed because Clyde forgot to put the toilet seat down and she did not bother to look before sitting. The episode was written by series co-creator Trey Parker and is rated TV-MA L in the United States. It parodies both the gender-divided social etiquette regarding toilet seats, and the post-9/11 airport security measures imposed by the Transportation Security Administration. ==Plot== Clyde Donovan unintentionally leaves the toilet seat up, causing his mother, Betsy, to punish him in front of Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny. This embarrasses Clyde, who asks the boys not to say anything about it at school. Cartman nonetheless tells the entire class the next day, while Butters is dumbfounded to learn that everyone sits on the toilet facing away from the tank, as he has been sitting facing it in order to use the tank as a shelf for reading material and drinks. Betsy then appears and again excoriates Clyde for leaving the toilet seat up, and takes him home. Later that night, after Clyde, yet again, forgot to put the toilet seat down, Betsy falls into the toilet, causing a suction that rips out her organs, killing her. Betsy's death spurs the Toilet Safety Administration to implement new safety regulations for people's toilets, including requiring all toilets to be outfitted with safety harnesses and security cameras, conducting surprise inspections in people's homes as they relieve themselves, and creating checkpoints in both private and public bathrooms that create huge lines. Cartman and the rest of the town is outraged, and speak out against these measures, though a schism develops between the women, who insist men should simply put the seat down, and the men, who opine that women should simply check to see if the seat is down before sitting on the toilet. Meanwhile, Stan, Kyle, Clyde and Jimmy seek legal recourse with an unscrupulous lawyer who says he specializes in suing dead people, and decides to conduct a "sue-ance" that will contact the spirit of John Harington, the inventor of the flush toilet, in order to sue him. However, the lawyer's attempts fail to contact Harington, and after each attempt, he extorts more money from the boys. A TSA employee who masturbates while monitoring bathroom security cameras sees that Cartman, armed with a gun, has taken a TSA checkpoint inspector and a baby hostage in his bathroom, before disabling his camera. Randy leads the public in speaking out against the TSA and the fact that it allowed a terrorist with a gun and a baby past a security checkpoint. Randy also announces that they are all determined to contact Harington with a public sueance. At the public sueance, Betsy's ghost appears, and tells Clyde that the lawyer is a fraud, and that her death is Clyde's fault for not putting their toilet seat down. The real ghost of Harington then appears and angrily announces that it is nobody's fault, saying that everyone is using his invention the wrong way. He announces that his toilet design requires people to sit facing the tank, and not outward, much to the surprise of everyone in the courtroom (except Butters, who has always been using it like that). When Randy states that doing so would require a person to have to remove their pants to use it this way, Harington responds that he indeed ''intended'' for users to remove their pants and, pointing to the hole on one of the walls of the prop bathroom, indicates that this was why he designed toilets with a laundry hole, much to the surprise of Randy and the others. Clyde eventually begins using the toilet in the manner shown by Harington, but defiantly places the seat up, looks up, and gives the finger to his dead mother. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Reverse Cowgirl (South Park)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
