"I'm having a hard time figuring out where you get the intellectual authority to call others an imbecile."

"Not surprising. Perhaps if I farted it you wouldn't have such a hard time figuring it out. That appears to be the level of intellect that appeals to South Parkers."

You really don't get it, do you? You havn't said a single intelligent, reasoned thing on this thread (and you've said a lot). You just name-call. Yet your point is that SP fans are imbeciles. It's almost like a parody. Most of the "fans" who have responded have attempted to engage in reasoned dialogue, answering specific criticisms, etc. Yet your only response is to just keep calling us imbeciles, with no logic or reason. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.

Now THAT actually did make me laugh out loud. Kudos.

Let me just jump in here on the whole imbecile debate.

The main reason -- probably one of many -- that South Park fans tend to be intellectually challenged is that the show is predicated on random attacks of institutions, people etc. (both on the left and the right).

This is the kind of immature humor that has no real center. It assumes that nothing much matters because everything will pretty much always be the same. It's the kind of humor that's pretty typical of over-privileged suburban youth.

It's also very formulaic humor. They take an institution, attack a prominent feature -- essentially the easiest target -- then carry that attack a few steps over the line of good taste.

Of course, the rough edges are smoothed out in the last act of the episode by some light touch of "commonsense."
