He also said "I'll digitally add Jabba the Hut back into Star Wars! Whateva Whateva I do what I want!"

That cracked me up.

"That" Peabody merged with the left-fielder from the 1970s Cincinnati Reds' World Champions and you get George Foster Peabody.

Look at the list of keywords:

ARRESTEDDEVELOPMENT; CRAP; CRAPTV; DECLININGMORALS; ENTERTAINMENT; IDIOTBOX; PEABODYAWARDS; SOPHOMORIC; SOUTHPARK; TERMINALADOLESCENCE; TV

Is old cracker hiding around here somewhere?

I wonder if the moron who put those keywords on there REALIZES that is EXACTLY the wrong thing to say to or about South Park fans? LOL

I don't know about you, but I LOVE IT when these certain individuals get upset over a CARTOON hehe :)

"Have they done a south park goes Islam yet ?" - Not this crap again. How come at least a genius has to show up on every South Park thread and ask an Islam or Mohamed question ?

I resemble those keywords.

Why can't we have a sophomoric sense of humor - Republican doesn't mean - unfunny bore, does it!?

Because for some people, everything is filtered through narrow ideological filters.
