"Grey Dawn" is the tenth episode in the seventh season and the 106th overall episode of the animated television series South Park. It originally aired on Comedy Central in the United States on November 5, 2003. This episode tackles the issue of elderly drivers, and mocks the AARP for their staunch opposition to re-testing elderly drivers, claiming the proposal as age discrimination.
In the episode, the senior citizens of South Park are killing people with their dangerous driving, and the residents feel that they are no longer safe on the streets. With their well-being at stake, the boys decide to take action against the older generation. Unwilling to surrender their driver's licenses, the elderly fight back, and the AARP soon gets involved.
The episode, and its name, parody the 1984 film Red Dawn.[1]
