What channel?

[My Favorite Headache]

Kenny was going to lead the armies of heaven to victory, but they saved his life and put him on life support

[Ramius]

Oh dear God.

This will not end well. :-)

[AzSteven]

And your reward for saving the universe - A life-sized Keanu Reeves statue made of gold...

That was funny. Sick, but funny...

[MikefromOhio]

I caught the end of it....

I want the statue of Keanu Reeves dammit!! LOL

[The Iguana]

I'm not expecting keen moral insight on this issue from South Park.

Sounds like I wouldn't be disappointed.

[thoughtomator]

Completely outrageous and tasteless this time around. Not to say I didn't enjoy it.

[flixxx]

Wow!
I knew they would be doing an episode about this topic, but I did not think it would be this soon!!
Just what you would expect from South Park...skewer both sides of the issue with no mercy...

[Hunble]

OUTSTANDING!

How do they produce a new show, in such a short time?

[WestVirginiaRebel]

That's what Terri needed! Someone who had the power of Best Friend Forever! But at least Kenny got to save Heaven.

[jaybee]

VERY well done!

For those who didn't watch, the "conclusion" was that those with the wrong motives (Cartman as Michael S.) were making the right decision, and those with the virtuous motives (the parents)were doing the wrong thing. Heaven needed Kenny.

Have you all seen this incredible tape of Terri opening her eyes for the dr. - he keeps saying "open you eyes{ - so she finally arches her eyebrows high and her eyes wide as if to say: "Hey, how about THIS!"
It will make you laugh and then cry - SHE IS THERE - she needs therapy...THIS IS A MUST - must get it our everyone. I've sent it to all the FOX addresses, Rush, Hannity ets - but they have to get slammed with this to pay attention, so it doesn't get lost.

On another thread I was castigated by bluenoses for humor in "poor taste" and although I haven't seen this South Park episode, I am always amused by people who think there are some subjects that cannot be treated with humor. In fact humor is one of the tools of learning--humor gets us to look at a subject without paying attention to the rules of conduct; it's the freest of forms of expression because it does not pretend that there is a heirarchy of value, that some things are SO sacred that one cannot look at the humorous, silly or stupid aspects.

The writer (and lunatic) Philip K. Dick was told of a close friend's cancer, and he started laughing because, he said, he couldn't think anything funny about it--humor was his defense mechanism. I can think of many situations where I found the way to an answer for a problem but making fun of the problem.

Humor isn't this "low class" thing left on the porch when we go inside; it's the sharpest tool of the sharpest minds. And no, "crude" humor isn't left out. Just because someone is being crude doesn't mean...well, what DOES it mean? Why is someone offended when someone mocks something you take seriously? Only that they find something funny about it. Doesn't mean they want someone to die, or think someone is inferior, or whatever, and are just too scared or cowardly to admit it--it MIGHT, but it doesn't have to, no more than some of the people who post incessantly in "respectful" ways about Terri Schiavo want someone to die (Michael), or think someone is inferior (Judge Greer) or whatever, and are just too scared or cowardly to admit it.

Humor--crude, disgusting or whatever--is a legitimate form of discourse. Those who say "That's not funny!" because someone ELSE thought it was funny have some soul-searching to do, I think; it reveals a bit more about him or her than one might think.

Good show. Probably more accurate than any serious analysis.

[EveningStar]

If you missed the show it will probably be rerun this weekend on Comedy Central. Check their schedule. I saw it. It's pretty good! :)

This is expected to be a low to medium volume ping list.

Create a South Park character of yourself.

[Redcloak]

I'm surprised that Michael Schiavo never pulled out his BFF necklace during all of this. Coulda saved a lot of trouble!

[techcor]

Probably the best line was when the lawyer came to the hospital room with the missing page. To paraphrase a little "If I'm ever in a vegetative state, please don't show me on national television". Ooops.

[BJClinton]

Lame! Now South Park has been hijacked by Shiavo?

[GSWarrior]

Too little, too late, IMO

Oops, wrong Schiavo thread.... !
