And take a look at the idea they're fighting over: Making fun of retarded people. Real uplifting.
They make fun of everyone. Mostly, they make fun of our indignation.
Since you clearly didn't watch that episode let me fill you in. Cartman thinks he can easily win but because he's out of shape he loses every event because his competitors have trained hard for the games. Know what you're talking about.
South Park makes fun of human foibles: greed, lust, stupidity, avarice, political correctness, gullibility, etc. If they feature a "victim", it's usually to make a point about someone's reaction to that person.
I liked the interview when they were asked who they enjoyed lampooning the most, and they said "Liberals - they scream louder."
I'm not a SP fan but I watched them skwewer global warming last night. Aside from a GD and couple of F words It was hilariously funny to watch the envirowacko's holy grail cause get mocked and humilated in a manner that is shockingly funny.
I hope they do one on Hillary Clinton running for president.
Parker and Stone are themselves involved with the disabled, financing and executive producing How's Your News?, a series of documentaries featuring mentally challenged reporters interviewing high-profile celebs, politicians and regular folk.
I am indignant at your indignation...
Your turn.
SP fans will get this:
"Simpsons did it! Simpsons did it!"
I think that maybe I should sue all of them, since just after Mel Brooks' "Silent Movie," some friends and I decided that we wanted to make a movie (using super8 movie cameras). We decided to do a movie that was a take off of the special olympics, and fixing them, based on some Monty Python sketches. Hey, maybe the surviving Monty Python members should sue all of us!

I'm no "South Park Conservative", but I find the show to be funny, sometimes very funny; albeit at a very base and crude level. The problem is that their complete obsession with this baseness and crudity prevents them from achieving any level of truly memorable satire or humour. That requires a least a modicum of subtlety.
Read the disclaimer at the beginning of each episode. As far as the 'plagiarism', it's probably a misunderstanding. Btw, what's with all the anti-SP rhetoric?
I sincerely hope to enjoy the barbs these folks will throw at each other. Who cares if they think what they say is original. Both groups only expose the lowest common denominator of human behavior and there are only so many ways to defame the human condition.
Old Cracker - Is it really you????!?!?!

I'm not a big South Park fan, although the episode about Tom Cruise and Scientology is hilarious. What would be proper TV viewing for today's "true" conservative?
Also, you should have stuck to the punctuation in the original article title.
But what's equally interesting from the Ouch! poll is that the all-American Timmy was even more popular among disabled voters than nondisabled,
The Ringer, starring ex-Jackass Johnny Knoxville as the faux Special Olympian, is scheduled for release Dec. 23.
Johnny Knoxville is not an ex-Jackass. He is still a Jackass. (I know, I know...the show...)
It was just as funny when Howard Stern was doing it (a big fat zero on the 1-10 scale).
This is the classic 'who to root for' moment.
You must live in a very pretty world....
Please note if Matt and Trey are reading your thread, then they found a new "indignant" group to target.
Thats why alot of conservatives like them...we can handle the mockery pointed at some of our institutions. Our belief in our ideals are stronger than our indignation when they are being mocked.
Which is why they are more successful at mocking liberals because liberals take so much offense as they dont believe in their institutions.
You are only showing the lack of belief in conservative ideals when you take such personal offense to things SP mocks that you hold in high regard.
Making fun of retarded people. Real uplifting."
How insensitive can you get?...they prefer being called * Challenged *...not retarded
