"The F Word"

In the South Park episode "The F Word," an ontological postmodernist thought is present. The basis of the episode is a performance of the word "fag." "Fag" has been thought to be a derogatory word for homosexuals, but the children of South Park use the term to ironically describe the hyper-masculine obnoxious Harley motorcyclists. They claim the term "fag" has nothing to do with homosexuals, and they say, "You can be gay but not a fag." The homosexuals in the town are happy to not be the "most hated people" anymore, and eventually the Harley motorcyclists "embrace" who they are.

This episode is an example of ontological postmodernist thought because there is no true reality, and no true meaning of the word "fag." The term could describe homosexuals or its counterpart, über-masculine motorcyclists. Therefore, calling a homosexual a "fag" loses its insult impact because there is no true meaning attached to it. The Harley motorcyclists embracing the term in the end is another example of ontological postmodernism because they are embracing their ambiguous identities and performing that identity.
