A new film set for release from PARAMOUNT has raised the pop culture threat levels at the White House -- a film which mocks the war on terror and media urgency using puppets, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
"I really do not think terrorism is funny, and I would suggest PARAMOUNT give respect to those fighting and sacrificing to keep America safe," a senior Bush adviser told the DRUDGE REPORT this weekend.
The new fuss film TEAM AMERICA, set for release two weeks before the November presidential election, is entering post-production from with SOUTH PARK creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone
A deep voice using serious tones opens the film's teaser: "We live in a time of unparalleled danger. Weapons of Mass Destruction are being offered to terrorists all over the world. Global chaos is about to consume every country on Earth. And there is only one hope for humanity."
The senior Bush adviser, who asked not to be named, fumed after seeing the movie's official website and trailer.
"This is just unconscionable. Not funny. And I believe it makes fun of everyone in law enforcement... and in the armed services who work tirelessly to keep us safe from harm."
Marionette puppets are used throughout the film to mock terror threats, and media figures who dominate the nation's airwaves.
..If you critique it...you draw attention to it....its' the "Life of Brian" effect
~wow~
I notice you don't mention planning to actually see the movie you plan to attack later.
bawwahhhh... punks indeed!!! I think I must be gettin on the South Park ping list... with the other punks..
"[Bush is a] sad figure: not too well educated, who doesn't get out of America much. He's leading the country towards fascism... he wouldn't understand the word fascism anyway." --Larry Hagman
Yeah this from an alcoholic who nearly drank himself to death. Had to get a liver transplant and MAY STILL be hittin the bottle. PLEASE, SHUDD-UP AND GO AWAY FOOL! Larry Hagman, the epitome of, all hat and no cattle.
One gets the distinct impression that you are one of the most tasteless and thickheaded people on the planet. Insightful you ain't. So your opinion matters because...?
That's what I thought. If it bothers your delicate sensibilities, don't watch it.
The team must be clueless about how disgusted many young people are with Dems.
You really need to see a few select South Park episodes to understand how much these guys slam Liberals. The Barbara Streisand / Rob Smith episode comes to mind. Also the Lemmiwinks episode.
I think it's called Satire....and yes, many of us think it's hysterically funny.
well he's not funny - just sad and pathetic.
Ain't it grand how people can jump to conclusions on a movie they haven't seen, based on the comments by someone else who hasn't seen the movie either?
Nicely done; 15s apart.

I forgot to add about Hagman, if they removed all of his organs he still wouldn't understand "SOBRIETY". LOL @ the pitiful pseudo intellects which abound in Gollywood.
Old Cracker has not been the same since Hee Haw was cancelled.
Hollywood is scared to death of offending Islamists. Remember when they made Clancy's The Sum of All Fears and made the villains neo-Nazis instead of Islamofascists as in the book? I am not a fan of South Park, but it's kind of refreshing to see the Islamists as bad guys for once. I'll remain cautiously optimistic about this movie.
hehehe...agree w/ you. :))
If the WH is going to make an issue of this they're making a big mistake IMHO.
I'd lay odds it was the "Jim and Tammy Faye" thing.
LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE MOCKING THE FRENCH!!!!
