Gutless Hollywood..Its like Jethro Tull winning the grammy
... or Denzel Washington's Oscar.
Acknowledging the "South Park" flap in his acceptance speech on the stage, "Simpsons" executive producer Al Jean said, "This is what happens when you don't mock Scientology."
Sometimes South Park goes over the edge, and I have to turn it off, but in terms of creativity and quality, there's simply no comparison. South Park is relevent, the Simpsons is the equivalent of the Flintstones.
The Simpsons jumped the shark many years ago.
South Park is still a hoot!
The Simpsons of late has been so terrible that it should have to give up every Emmy it has won in the past. A mockery of justice, proving the Scientologists are firmly entrenched in Hollywood and the critical press.
When did JT win a Grammy?
What about Family Guy :(
Simpsons did it!
What a load of Tom Cruise!
Oh, man, that's funny! That's a pretty classy tip of the hat to Trey and Matt, by the Simpsons folks, when you think about it.
I am still a fan and there were some great episodes but I think the Simpsons isn't quiet as good as it once was. I always thought the Simpsons were a commentary on pop culture in general.
But South Park goes right after the jugular of political correctness. They take no prisoners and make apologies to no one. Yes its crude and rude but the underlying message is often powerful and skewers the liberals more often than it does any other group. They also attack the mass media with extreme prejudice. This is why South Park remains more politically relevant than the Simpsons
Family Guy can be very funny at times but its just too schizophrenic to make a statement on anything relevant. Its like the Simpsons with ADD on Meth.
That was classy of them. And it was a real dig against Sciencemockery and Holleyweird types that have embraced that peculiar and dangerous cult.
So true!
