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.
Doesn't matter. Terrorism is not a punch line.
They are conservatives. They hate religion though.
You understand incorrectly. They're neither Democrat nor Republican, and lean strongly Libertarian.
Hope so, not only will Bush win but more important to every American is that he will finally have a public mandate. Watch out Syria, Iran, N. Korea and of course, HOLLYWOOD.
They are Republicans actually. If you watch South Park, it does have some conservative leanings.
I disagree. South Park may be crude, rude, and irreverant, but it's hilarious and eviscerates liberal causes more effectively than the RNC. The White House should lay low until they've read the entire screen play.
Southpark is brillant satire and mocks left-wing ideas and people non-stop. I don't know why you would call it filth.
You lighten up. If you had a son fighting in Iraq or someone killed on 9/11 how funny would this kind of garbage be? These South Park punks have also mocked Jesus Christ. They are punks and anyone who appreciates their brand of humor is a punk. That's not opinion, that is fact. It's punk humor for all the punks in the GenX crowd.
I think you are right.... If you look at the trailer you see the names of hollywood lib stars fling in graphically as if they are the stars of this movie... but no they are going to be pissed...
Everyone look at the trailer before you make judgement...
You Guys have this all wrong, it's going to be very Funny See......http://www.apple.com/trailers/paramount/team_america/large.html
Actually, Matt Stone is a Libertarian, and Trey Parker is a Republican.
This movie is going to be great!
And as far as Trey and Matt creating trash, South Park is the ONLY show on television that skewers the left and mocks their beliefs the way they should be mocked.
I got dibs on "More than Fahrenheit 911 and less than Passion of the Christ" in the betting pool.
Good thing many of these punks vote Republican...
yeah, they hate liberals and from the previews and what I have read about it, they rip on the left.
Saw the preview. I think people need to have a sense of humor. It didn't seem like a hit piece like Michael Moore's was. It was mocking everyone.
I would actually call the libertarians more than conservatives.
And I agree, they are anti-organized religion (not necessarily anti-religion).
They do seem to see through the BS the libs put out.
I cannot hate them --- anyone who reveals that Barabara Streisand is, in reality, a huge monster bent on world destruction and domination has to be partially OK.
