Chipotle Says Their Food Does Not Cause Underwear Blood
South Park managed to combine the late Billy Mays, the unfortunately still around Ghost Hunters, and the beloved Chipotle chain in their latest episode, with surprising results.
Fortunately, someone contacted Chipotle to ask whether it's true that their food will cause rectal bleeding. Chipotle responded, "There is no truth to that claim." Whew!
Ghost Hunters, however, is still ridiculously stupid.
(Thanks to mybodystory!)

Resisting the urge to ask "why s ths n cnsmrst?"...
I guess we can all be reassured by Chipotle's reasonable response to this issue, and that they would like us to have a good day!
"Ghost Hunters, however, is still ridiculously stupid."
In the beginning, it was okay, now, it seems they have a "Steve and Tango Comedy Segment" in each show. I've stopped watching.
That rep obviously doesn't get the hot salsa on her burrito and hot salsa with the chips. The after effect makes me feel like there's blood in my underwear.
Why is Billy Mays still pushing products on TV??? Everytime that cell phone speaker-thingy commerical airs and he says to the woman he'll be there in 20 minutes I say no, you won't.
I love Chipotle. They are amazing.
Geez.. I really hate that Ghost Hunters show.. I'm glad to see that there is atleast someone out there that agrees with me. All they do is sit in the dark and claim they may or may not have seen something, but they never say for sure.
Probably because if they said they saw nothing every single time, then the show would be over.
Thanks for reminding me why I never watch South Park.
As for the Ghost Hunters, I'm not sure what's more stupid ... them, or the fact that there are working journalists in the world who truly think they're newsworthy. Yikes!
Actually, if I eat Halaal or Chipotle alot on consecutive days, it does cause underwear blood for me...
Chinese food FTW.
I don't know what's funnier: the clip or the fact that someone called just to ask if Chipotle caused rectal bleeding.
My goodness. People are too gullible. Where is your imagination? It is a cartoon. There is no way Chipotle will do something like this to anyone hahaha (it's a possibility but come on) Hahah.
What is up with the Enterprise signal meter?
@PsiCop: I'm trying to follow your logic, and so far, this is what I've come up with:
PsiCop does not watch South Park because the Consumerist posts about a response from a company about a joke South Park made.
Correct if I'm wrong, but this seems somewhat ridiculous.
Why do people still watch? Has it gone past the threshold of funny and become so tasteless it's not even close to hilarious already?
@bloggerX: Because that is what Billy would have wanted [sniff].
/dramatic wimper face
The commercial is even more entertaining because that commercial was one that was filmed during one of the episodes of Pitchmen.
@shoelace414: I was wondering that too. I think the real story here is: is that a jail-broken iPhone? How do you get the customizations at the top like that?
I love how any comment about South Park brings the "it's so not funny" people out of the woodwork.
Keep in mind kids: humor is subjective, mmmkay?
Also, that was a great episode. =)
I love it when large companies and organizations simply take things in stride and with good humor.
@Moosehawk: I wish I could buy a gallon of their hot salsa to go, I would go apeshit. I love the hot salsa there. I gotta have two scoops of that on my burrito....
I just had chipotle yesterday.... and now i'm thinkin about going there again... Thanks Consumerist! You're gonna make me a fattie!
Is the notion that Chipotle burritos are so spicy that they make your anus burn upon defecation?
@Kimaroo - 20% More Kitty Added!: Funny thing is, if they did see something...the show would be canceled because they would quit with all the money they could get for proof of a ghost.
@Kimaroo - 20% More Kitty Added!: And use cameras which only catch the visible spectrum, yet claim film can capture stuff we can't see.
Whew! That's a relief! I was going to eat there tonight and was terrified I might have rectal bleeding! Now my mind's put at ease. (lol)
I :heart: Chipotle's hot sauce and always ask for extra...but the next day it...man. It burns. Hurts more coming out than going in.
I still love Ghost Hunters. It's getting a bit long in the tooth, yeah, and it seems more fake than it used to, but I find I really like seeing the locations, especially when they go to a historical site. Ghost Hunters International is still a lot of fun, though, and the locations throughout Europe are gorgeous.
I'm glad that Chipotle takes South Park "very seriously".
Glad they cleared up all that confusion...I'm sure the promotional company behind the Billy Mays empire was being overrun with calls for "Chipotlaway" too. Look for their press release in the coming...wait, even they wouldn't comment on South Park shenanigans.
@_NARC_: I unashamedly want a wee Enterprise on my iPhone. My Mac already has a customized LCARS background, so I'm kind of working with the theme already.
Also, Zachary Quinto is my iPhone wallpaper. Mmmmm...
if my local chipoltle workers would get the joke I'd ask for some "chipoltaway" with my burrito today.
There was even a scene (can't watch this video to see if it has it) where Stan or Kyle (the reasonable one) says that he can't believe it makes Cartman's ass bleed, and says he himself has no problems with it.
Poiont being, I'm sure someone's ass has bled after eating Chipotle.
That episode hit a little too close to home with both Chipotle and Mr. Jefferson being the focus. Ironically though, Chipotle is one of the mildest things for my IBS stomach since I don't get any hot sauce.
@bloggerX: yes and ghosts do not just come out at night so do it at night every time is just for show. I think if they took it seriously then maybe the audience will too
@bravo369: THANK YOU! I told the same thing to my wife when she started watching it. And if I remember correctly the first few seasons/episodes they wouldn't ALWAYS find a ghost at the place and that was part of the thrill when they finally did find something suspect.
Now they seem to always find something and I feel it's more theatrical than investigative.
@Morte: No, the reason I don't like South Park is that bloody underwear is about as funny as a root canal.

Stupid YouTube
@Bearded Rapper: I don't know I haven't watched in awhile but episodes would always get at least a few chuckles from me.
Speaking of tasteless (but still made me laugh) have you seen Team America : World Police? Specifically the "sex" scene
@tonalanswer: Because it's amusing, and because in the past, some companies have raised a stink over how they were portrayed in movies/tv shows/etc.
And it's FUNNY.
@PsiCop: I like poop jokes, but maybe that's just me. Also, if you look past the childish humor, South Park delivers some pretty astute social commentary. Nothing like pointing out how stupid something is by...calling it stupid.
@madog: Yeah, Kyle keeps bringing it up because he can't understand why he'd do it; that was the best part of the episode.
@mazzic1083: In your opinion, when was the show ever "tasteful?" - or at least marginally acceptable? That's much of the appeal of the show! I don't see the newer episodes more tasteless than many of their first. For instance - the pilot episode.
Actually, I've been severely disappointed that their latest episodes seem boring and lacking creativity. I think it might have something to do with the disappearance of Isaac Hayes.
@Applekid: But they're keeping their plans for swapping their dining tables with OB/GYN examination tables, right? Because they look so festive with those Jalapeño Christmas lights!
(Although, to be fair, the CO2-powered burrito mortar launchers look a tad ominous)
@mazzic1083: My brother somehow convinced my 60-something mother to watch World Police. Oddly, she was more disgusted by the vomit scene.
@GitEmSteveDave_IsGWaving:
That has never made sense to me... If you can see a 'ghost' with a still camera, you should be able to see it with a video camera- same technology.
Or even microphones... When they are recording with their digital audio recorders, we should be able to hear it because the video cameras are doing audio recording themselves.
In light of the recent South Park episode, Chipotle has scrubbed plans for the nationwide release for their new product Burrito of Broken Glass.
