'South Park' & Islamofascism

LOL!!!!

[nhoward14]

What does Family Guy have to complain about?

Truth is an absolute defense. LOL

[John Jorsett]

I see they're too scared to touch Islam, though.

So far they've implied that Muslims are violent, thin-skinned hotheads who have to be feared and appeased. In the next SP episode, supposededly Fox is going to show an uncensored Muhammad. It remains to be seen how South Park will portray it, but they've shown no past reluctance to lampoon any other group. My money is on their following through and showing Muhammad in carton form. Unless Comedy Central does indeed "puss out" as South Park has termed it.

I'm surprised to see the Claremont Institute giving a thumbs up to SP. They are a tad to the right of the Rockford Institute culturally, and I would have expected more "tsk tsk"-ing from them.

[stands2reason]

Yeah, but they'll never go after Hollywood. They know how their bread is buttered.

[processing please hold]

I don't often watch "SP" because it is a little too crude for me.

Then be forewarned. Never, ever, ever under any circumstances watch the uncensored versions. (they're the best)

[stands2reason]

I frankly am surprised they are doing one on the Muzzies, maybe they do have a little courage after all.

You are only surprised because you are ignorant of the creators of South Park. Not only have they done Mohammed, Bin Laden, and (repeatedly) Saddam, Matt and Trey did a whole movie on the Muslims called "Team America".

I see they're too scared to touch Islam, though.

FYI, these are the same guys who did "Team America". They don't care one bit about hurting the poor feelings of the stinking Muslims.

This is a nice concise article, especially for those who missed last week's show. The next episode is this Wednesday. I'll be pinging y'all again then. :)

You laugh like someone familiar with the rhetoric of a South Park thread ... ;-)

Don't give them too much credit. Don't give them any actually. Team America made fun of the french, the un, north korea, hans blix, etc. Sure they were after muslim terrorist but, that was as far as it went. They didn't show muhammed. That would have been a cutting off the head offense. They played it safe in TA. IMHO. Then again, my opinion and $1.25 will get you a cup of coffee.

[SittinYonder]

Exactly. ;-)

[Dark Skies]

Thx...keep me posted.

[TASMANIANRED]

Team America......

[MrBlueSky2005]

(I am assuming this isn't sarcasm...)

They actually go after Hollywood a good deal: they had a terrific show dystroying Barbara Streisand, another recent episode going after Tom Cruise, etc.

Also, several times celebreties have come to them asking to do special guest voices (like is often done in the Simpsons). According to one interview, Trey and Matt give them obscure, nothing parts (they wanted one star to be "Turkey #21" for a Thanksgiving episode...they made George Clooney play a gay dog, etc.). So...hollywood doesn't get any respect either, thank goodness.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

I remember that episode which can out very soon after 9/11.

Osama ends up marrying a camel too.

[motzman]

Now, Trey and Matt would never have the guts to go after the Mormons...never!

[TASMANIANRED]

Dirka,dirka, Mohammed Jihad.

[Billthedrill]

I'm thinking you got enough bites on this one to reel in half a boatful.

Say, did you know that "gullible" isn't in the dictionary?

You can get a cup of coffee for $1.25?
