I don't. I never have, because I have heard enough about it to stay far away from it. My post was in response to the unfathomably myopic statement, "I don't know why you would call [South Park] 'filth.'"
It was tragic and sickening in the South Park episode too... it was revenge... He wanted revenge and became obsessed with revenge, and it went too far. You do know that Cartman is not the hero, but the villian in the show, right?
Villains get their comeuppance, eventually. Cartman wasn't the villain of that episode, Scott was. Cartman was the hero for getting back at him, making him cry, and humiliating him in front of Radiohead, his favorite band.
I gotta hand it to you, though -- that's spin worthy of George Stephanopoulos or Lanny Davis.
punk you...its a funny show
Matt Drudge interviewed Trey Parker and Matt Stone tonight, referring to them as "conservative-libertarians." And they didn't correct him.
dum dum dum dum dum!
Cartman is always the villian. It's just a TV show. Sometimes it's funny. Some people like it. It ain't eating people.
Jeepers. Myopia is everywhere. Good night.
I've seen that ! A couple years ago one of my friends picked it up at a comic book convention. It's so bad, but it's great. I'm sure you could find it somewhere.
Did you ever watch the tv show "Get Smart" in the 70's (I think)? Basically, Smart was a gov't agent, total bungler, but he "covered himself" in the end by saying, "I knew you (the bad guy) were going to do such and such, and so I brilliantly did x, y, and z, to put you directly into my trap". It was a spoof of some kind of movie genre that I don't think I was old enough to even see. I was watching Get Smart at about 7-8 YO.
This episode was exactly the same thing, with the biggest idiot character as the brilliant "detective". If you can't make the connection(s), the show can seem really stupid.
Lighten up, Francis.
With all the bitching and moaning you're doing it's obvious that you've gone past grown up to simply grown old, just like your name implies.
TIMMAH!
This is all a ploy by the White House to stir up controversey about this movie so that more people will go see it.
Then you're gonna hate me. I own over a dozen South Park DVDs.
People: Matt Stone is a libertarian, and Trey Parker is a conservative Republican. They both ROUTINELY advocate and support FReep principles on South Park: they are anti-eco-whacko, pro-War On Terror, and virulently, aggressively anti-liberal.
From the recent AintItCoolNews interview with Matt and Trey, re: this film: The most remarkable head sculpts belong to the other bad guys in the film. “[...] They’re an organization of Hollywood liberals who are determined to stop Team America from interfering in the affairs of international politics. Alec Baldwin, Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn, and a permanently mustard-stained Michael Moore are just a few of the celebrities who are going to feel well and truly roasted when they see this film.
If you don't actually know what you're talking about, in this instance: please, please shut your respective pieholes. All of this kneejerk whinnying and bleating is just making you look idiotic and ill-informed.
Ohh...and by the way...
FTR: my younger brother, Lt. Col. Kim S. Orlando, was killed in Iraq late last year, while bravely doing his part in the War On Terror. He was a devoted South Park fan, jus as I am.
Research. Learn. Then spout off.
I wouldn't care a whit about South Park's obscenities and lurid content if it weren't for the fact that South Park is the first series in the history of television that is about children too young to watch the show.
You may choose to believe the pretzel logic that pop culture phenomena exists in a vacuum if you like. You'll have plenty of company -- millions of fans of Howard Stern and South Park think so too. But I won't be intimidated into agreeing.
Is "grown old" about the time when our sense of good taste kicks in?
Sure, I remember Get Smart. Late 60's, actually -- it was in syndication in the 70's. It was one of my favorite shows. I had a crush on Barbara Feldon ("99"). In my San Francisco neighborhood, there is a bar that is STILL named "Would You Believe?"

Of course! (shouted Don Adams-style) It was just like Get Smart!
That is, adding a potentially penis-chomping pony, a masturbating boy peeping in a big-breasted woman's window, and killing another boy's mother and father and cutting them up and putting them in a chili fed to the son.
What a bunch of Maroons!The movie's official poster features an apparent Bush look-a-like
[strings attached] with his back to the viewer.
Of course, that'd be Cheney pulling the strings. Sheesh!
