[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

It's on cable and carries a TV-M (Mature) rating.

As it advises, the show should not be viewed by anyone.

Kenny doesn't die anymore. He spent one season dead and that's the end of the shtick. Parker and Stone had been complaining about killing Kenny all the time (it's hard to keep working stuff like that into every single story) for a while before they finally figured out a way out of it.

Cartmans first power was killing hippies. That show was very funny, but I watched with someone who had never seen Japanese animation and thus did not appreciate the brilliance. I had to explain the hilarious bad translations.

I can't believe I saw cartman naked!

[OXENinFLA]

OH MY GOD!

THEY DIDN'T KILL KENNY!


I didn't even notice that.

Did y'all catch last night's re-run of "a ladder to Heaven"?

I'd never see that one before. It almost looked like they were slamming Bush but in the end Saddam WAS building WMDs in Heaven.

[T.Smith]

How can Saddam build WMD's in heaven? He and Satan are gay lovers, right?

[antiRepublicrat]

It's sad when a vulgar, offensive, poorly-animated show about some grade school kids often has the most insightful social commentary and satire on TV. And BLU was the most socially relevant movie I saw that year.

[OXENinFLA]

According to the SP story line, Satan kicked Saddam out of Hell and sent him to live w/ Mormons in Heaven as a punishment.

[Polonius]

To make a long story short, Satan dumped Saddam and got rid of him by sending him to heaven, which in "South Park" is full of Mormons, thus making it hell for Saddam.

[T.Smith]

Ooooh, I didn't know that. Is Saddam still Canadian?

[StriperSniper]

I thought the cuts to 'anime' style were great.

O.K., I'm not reading anymore, I don't want to spoil it when I catch the rerun. :)

[Chewbacca]

Actually, Kenny came back in the Christmas episode where the kids go to Iraq with Jesus to rescue Santa Claus.

The best lines from that episode are:

Jesus to Iraqi guards when the are arresting him - "I'm packing!" and proceeds to shoot and stab the guards.

Santa kills his captor with a bullet through the head and says "I couldn't let it go. HE SHOCKED SANTA'S BALLS!"

[CounterCounterCulture]

According to the SP story line, Satan kicked Saddam out of Hell and sent him to live w/ Mormons in Heaven as a punishment.

Yup.
But somehow he turned up in the Christmas episode immediately following Saddam's real life capture when he was posing as the new Canadian Prime Minister pissing people off with new strange laws like returning all adopted Canadian children back to Canada, mounties only being allowed to ride sheep instead of horse, not allowing the French Canadians to drink wine, and outlawing Sodomy (the Newfoundlander fisherman was rather upset).

"Ding dong they caught Saddam!"

[CounterCounterCulture]

I was dying when Cartman said he was going to use his special power of invisibility. Too funny.

And the kicker at the end was that the townpeople (rabble rabble!) were more upset over his nudity than Butters having a ninja star in his eye and being covered with patches of dog fur. Rabble rabble!

Poor Butters.

That's because SP is on cable, which isn't regulated by the FCC... yet.

[Sofa King]

Well, remember, Bush may have sounded insane on the podium, but all of that stuff did actually happen is SP...

[Phantom Lord]

I can't believe I saw cartman naked!

I remember the first time I saw Cartmans hair. I bout fell off the couch laughing.

Did you happen to notice on the "South Park is Gay" episode that Cartman had Clay Aiken's hair?

That is Mr. Hanky- please, this author needs to be more respectful to those special Christmas episodes. I love Mr. Hanky and often dream of the round chocolate drops he will leave around the house.
