If you consider people who stand for morality and decency uptight..."""

This idea that people who don't like bathroom humor and blasphemy are "uptight" is utter ignorance. The great comedians - Hope, Benny, Burns - were funny, not vulgar. Vulgarity is the tool of people who are without talent or without character. Benny would never go for laughs by blaspheming someone's religion. He had too much intelligence, talent -- and class. That's what our culture lacks today - class, and an appreciation for class. This debasement is evident even here on FR, where dunderheads hold up the gutter humor of Southpark as something to admire. They've been raised in - and have drunk deeply from - an environment of cultural sewage that started spewing out in the 60s.

The core belief behind South Park is that children aren't born pure and righteous but then twisted by society. Rather, it is the job of the parents and society to mold them into good people. Kid's aren't the example for society to follow, rather they are the ones for which parents and society should be setting the example for them to follow.

Left to themselves or the twisted "village" most kids are raised in today, they become little Cartmens. The show is meant as a "scared straight" for parents rather than an influence for kids.

The kid with the most normal family is the most normal kid. The kid with the single parent whore mother is pure evil, the kid with parents on welfare gets killed every episode, and the kid whose parents are too strict and controlling is neurotic.

They don't need to be vulgar to be funny, they are vulgar for the purpose of demonstration: let the village raise your kids and this is the result. South Park isn't saying "let your kids do this", it's saying that if you don't do your job as parents this is what they'll do.

The Sixties-inspired vulgarity of South Park reminds me of the similar Sixties-inspired "irreverence" of the Clintons, who sniggered, South Park-style, as they defiled a Christmas tree with condoms as ornaments. It's all the same - mocking traditional values, and branding people who object as "holier than thou" and "uptight" (to use Howlin's insults, words that come straight out of the drug culture and the Leftist fever swamps of the Sixties). Deriding, sneering and laughing at things that society has traditionally held sacred - like Christmas trees (in the case of the Clintons) or the Virgin Mary (in the case of South Park) is a sign of degeneracy. People who applaud degeneracy - and who stick out their tongues at those of us who defend the Virgin Mary and the values being assaulted by degenerate Hollywood - are allies of the Left and its project of cultural destruction.

A society where nothing gets respect - where nothing is sacred - is a society headed downhill. It's a society that has rejected the idea of objective right and wrong. Bill Clinton, the ultimate Sixties guy, did his work well. He even has a lot of freepers buying his line that we can't make judgments about things - that anything goes.
