I seriously doubt you are going to have a significant overlap between South Park and The Passion dvd buyers.

I find the timing of this to be very suspicious.

"I find the timing of this to be very suspicious."

So do I. I'm not a South Park fan but did watch parts of a few episode. A couple of years ago, I regarded it as funny and irreverent and I can handle that. I've made brief visits to South Park lately and note that it has become highly political (read that political left).

SP appeals to centrists but is heavy on the liberal bashing. They cant hurt Bush's chances...

Try explaining that to the Prude Patrol.

Human Action is a great read! Try "The Fatal Conceit" by Hayek.

The 4th Season just came out on DVD. My fav is 'Cartman joins NAMBLA'. They really drive it home about NAMBLA being a sicko organization not some kind of 'special interest group'.

Interesting. I have never watched it (well I tried) but a FR yesterday said it was critical of liberal positions.

Don't suppose you saw the "South Park" episode about the 2000 election ... not very liberal at all.

I hated South Park before I ever watched it. My husband would keep trying to get me to watch it and I would stick up my nose and refuse. Then I caved and watched and episode entitled "Super Best Friends". It was the funniest tv show I'd ever seen. I still giggle when I think about it. It was completely silly about David Blaine being the devil and Jesus and a crew of "super Best Friends" (Buddah, Mohammed, Krishna & Sea Man) out to defeat Blaine.

Jesus radios Moses for information on how to kill a giant stone Abraham Lincoln that Blaine made come to life. Moses thinks for a second and replies "Um...Uh...Maybe a giant, stone, John Wilkes Booth"

Funny show. I'm hooked now.

It tilts liberal but what the heck. When it strays too left I turn it off. The show still finds time to absolutely skewer Barbra Streisand and a few other too-big for their own good celebs.

If I remember correctly that episode was not very flattering to Rosie Oh either!

South Park's NAMBLA episode ended up having the "National Association of Marlon Brando Look-Alikes" harrased because the police mistook them for the perverts. The recent "GooBacks" episode ironically had people from the future arriving to undercut everyone's wages ("They took our JERBS!").

Shows dealing with religion usually end up backing it. Cartman used the Christian rock phenomenon to show up his friends only to be ridiculed in the end. "The Passion of the Jew" was hard on Mel Gibson but ultimately told us to really look at other's beliefs before writing them off. That's how I interpret it.

The show and it creators are actually libertarian. So left and right take barbs, but it definately hits the left harder.

I don't care that the Passion episode made fun of Mel Gibson, my only complaint was that it wasn't very funny.

The "Christian Rock Hard" episode, however, was off-the-charts hysterical.

Cartman rocks.
