More proof bullying has become the issue du jour: Cartman and his cohorts are tackling the subject this week this week on "South Park."

Wednesday's episode, titled "Butterballs," comes a few days before the Weinstein Co. "Bully" documentary expands to more theaters with a PG-13 rating. "Bully" was originally released unrated because the Weinstein Co. refused to release it under its original R rating.
