The portrayal of drinking is not necessarily a glorification of it.

The South won (or very nearly did). In that context, that show was a glorification of drinking.

I might ask what you watch on TV

Wheel of Fortune.

you've obviously never watched an entire episode of the show

I'm proud that it's that obvious.

Then where are you getting your information? Anybody who's seen the ManBearPig episode could not possibly come away from it thinking they portrayed Al Gore in anything but the most negative way possible. I'm not trying to harass you over this, but somebody has been lying to you.

With regard to the Civil War episode: To be honest, I don't really remember. You may be right.

Dude -- NO. Drinking was how Cartman kept the adults rowdy and stupid. Halfway through they start to sober up, realize how dumb it is to follow a little kid on a nationwide reprise of the Civil War and start to go home. Cartman tricks them into drinking more so they'll do the dumb thing and follow him.

You have no idea how ignorant you sound. You are trying to argue with a bunch of people who ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT.

I'm proud that it's that obvious.

You probably are. You wouldn't let a liberal get away with this kind of crap, would you?

I haven't watched many episodes. The ones I have watched that had drinking had shown negative consequences.

There was one where the father of one of the boys is convinced that he's an alcoholic. He "has no control" because alcoholism is "a disease!"

To be cured he gets his son to drive him to a statue that causes "miracles." When the pope states it wasn't miraculous he decides he's not cured even though he has had no desire to drink for over a week. The son convinces him to choose whether or not to drink and to choose to drink in "moderation."

At the risk of drawing fire from some others here, I agree with you about South Park being totally useless show. I never have found anything funny about bathroom humor. I have not watched a whole episode and don't ever intend to. There are so many more useful things to watch on TV, not to mention just turning the darn thing off and spending time with my family.

In real life, Ulysses Grant kicked the South's ass. As President Lincoln said, "find out that man's favorite brand of whisky and send a case to all my other generals."
