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.
Speaking of "pieholes", try to justify "That's My Bush!" then shut yours.
Yeah, sure...you obviously never saw an episode of "That's My Bush".
The only fact is that you are an opinionated old codger.
It (the series) didn't last long, but it was the most hateful, anti-Bush filth anyone could imagine.
I agree with you 100% O.C. This is NOT a laughing matter and neither is mocking the Lord!
Be afraid, be very afraid.
Because we are coming.
We drink. We smoke. We screw. We party. We rock. We can laugh at ourselves, and still laugh our asses off at our enemies.
We are hella-well informed about the world around us, but we know that one cannot live on politics alone.
One must have a little fun sometimes, or jack becomes a dull boy.
We are true patriots.
We believe in aggressively fighting the ills of Politically Correct, Leftist repression and Islamic terror as much as you do. In fact, if we were in charge, Mecca would be a parking lot by now, AND our taxes would be cut so short that you'd swear Reagan had returned.
However, we DON't share your un-Christian ideas of your own moral superiority, or your church-organ-grinder, Fallwell-esque rhetoric.
We are the future of American conservatism. We are the South Park Republicans. And we are coming to shake you fossils out of our party.
Once again, be very afraid.
Boo!!!
You make it waaaaaayyyyy too easy for me, spouting off like that on a topic you (plainly) know zero zilch nada about.
As has been stated repeatedly on this very thread -- and which you'd know, of course, were you actually reading, rather than simply voguing -- "That's My Bush!" was specifically designed to go after whicheve candidate won in 2000. Had Gore been triumphant: the show would have made him the dummy, with the out-of-office GWB his foil. Our guy won, however; and so Comedy Central went the other way with it.
Again (with smaller words): the winner in 2000 was always going to be the "target," re: the Stone/Parker offering. Not much comedic point in spending month after month relentlessly hammering the out-of-power and irrelevant loser, after all. Duh.
This is all perfectly Google-able, you know. Unless that darned Internet thing is just plain... whaddyacallit... busted, wherever it is you are.
You're welecome, by the way.
Play with yourself and google all you want...it's you who needs piehole shutting, Pinkie.
Ladies and gentlemen: the fabulous TerAYza Heinz Kerry. Big round of applause, people. Give it up for her, now.
The first such interview you come across also mentions (for instance) that the first episode of the Gore show would have about a killer robot menacing DC, and everybody mistakes Gore for the robot and the robot for Gore.
What this all means, of course, is that THIS:
"The exec-producer for Comedy Central on the show was a friend of mine and I know the entire story of the show and Stone/Parker and what they were trying to do."
... is, essentially, just a great, stinking, obvious pile of Kerry.
You're too easy, kiddo.
But you've heard that often enough before now, I daresay.
3.) From the reliably conservative Jewish World Review: Of course, anyone who has watched more than a few episodes of "South Park" knows that Parker loathes liberal "values." He and Stone have blasted casual (and not so casual) divorce, lefty spelunking in the Constitution for special rights for gays and ethnic minorities, and parents who are too busy with other things to teach their children right from wrong. Boom, muffin.
4.) ... and yet again: "[Stone and Parker] sold the idea of a sitcom about the presidency to Comedy Central (half-owned by AOL Time Warner, parent company of TIME) the summer before the election; the recount pushed the show back from its planned March debut and also reduced the number of episodes from 10 to eight. In fact, before November, the only plot they had sketched out had President Gore trying to convince people that he was the real President while being usurped by a life-size robot. And before they chose the presidency as their canvas, the duo considered making a sitcom about the Baldwin brothers." Certain invisible (and conveniently unverifiable) "friends," clearly, never had the proverbial Clue One as to what they were gibbering at you about, plainly. Ah, well.
5.) ... and here's the WWF-style smackdown: Matt Stone and Trey parker publicly identifying themselves as REPUBLICANS. On camera, on FOX. With BRIT HUME rolling the film, no less. OUCHIE -- !!!
Google -- and the facts -- can be your friend.
"RESPECT MY AUTHORITY!"
This old fossil just lifted his head from the dirt. He hears you loud and clear.
I really don't see the harm in this movie. Did Hogan's Heros insult the memory of World War 2 just because it made light of the Nazis? There is a lot to make fun of about the jihadists.
I would be surprised if this film actually had a lefty, anti-American viewpoint. As others have noted, these South Park guys tend to be libertarian conservative types. Many SP episodes have skewered the left something awful.
Plus this film has been endorsed by radio personality Phil Hendrie, a Democrat who is 1000% behind the war on terror, and the war in Iraq. Phil is also the biggest basher of Michael Moore you will ever want to hear. He would have done better grilling Moore than Bill O'Reilly did.
Sometimes you don't have to see something, in this case the movie; to know it isn't right.
Spot on.
Bugs Bunny made fun of the enemy during WWII, as did a lot of other cartoons.

anyone who does not appreciate their brand of humor is a great big poo-poo head. That's not opinion, that is fact.
