Cartman Joins NAMBLA is the fifth episode of the fourth season of South Park. It revolves around Cartman's attempt to join NAMBLA (North American Man/Boy Love Association), a controversial organization that advocates for the legalization of consensual sexual relationships between adult men and boys.

The episode begins with Cartman watching a news report about NAMBLA on TV and becoming intrigued by their message. He decides to attend a meeting of the organization and is disappointed to find out that they only accept members over 18 years old. Undeterred, he lies about his age and is ultimately accepted into the group.

Meanwhile, the town of South Park is grappling with a rash of missing cats, which have been disappearing at an alarming rate. The adults suspect that the children are responsible and organize a neighborhood watch program to catch the perpetrators.

As Cartman becomes more involved with NAMBLA, he begins to advocate for their cause and even wears a T-shirt promoting their message. His friends become concerned about his newfound obsession and try to discourage him from associating with the organization. However, Cartman refuses to listen to their advice and continues to attend NAMBLA meetings.

At the same time, the cat-murder mystery deepens as the adults discover that the missing felines have been dismembered and their heads placed on spikes in a nearby field. The town becomes even more alarmed and the neighborhood watch program intensifies its efforts to catch the culprits.

In a twist of fate, it is revealed that the NAMBLA members are actually responsible for the cat killings. They had been using the cats as a cover-up for their true activities and had been luring them to their meetings in order to use them for their sick purposes. Cartman is shocked to discover that the organization he thought was promoting a noble cause is actually a group of perverts and decides to leave the group.

The episode ends with the adults catching the NAMBLA members in the act of their heinous activities and arresting them. The town celebrates the capture of the cat killers and Cartman's friends are relieved to see him return to his normal self.

Overall, Cartman Joins NAMBLA is a controversial and satirical episode that tackles the serious issue of pedophilia in a humorous way. It highlights the danger of blindly following an ideology without fully understanding its implications and the importance of standing up against wrongdoing even if it means going against popular opinion.
