Newest South Park goes too far?

The most recent episode, entitled "The China Probrem", focused on 2 semi-recent cultural discussions.
China taking over USA, and a throwback to the latest Indiana Jones movie.

There has been quite a bit of public outcry (even on South Parks own site) about the "rape" scenes, in which George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg are shown physically raping Indiana Jones multiple times.
I've seen the episode, and I have to admit it was a bit unsettling.

Occasionally the episode was broken up with jokes about "shooting people in the dick" (IT'S NEVER COOL!), and the sub-plot about Cartman and Butters stopping the chinese invasion.
So the final thought ends up along the lines of:
"Cartoon Rape, funny? Insensitive? Or just flat out disgusting?"

You be the judge.
