This particular Rolling Stone writer likes the show. The full title of the article is, Still Sick, Still Wrong: For ten years, "South Park" has been the crudest, stupidest, most offensive show on television. And the funniest, but I couldn't fit that in. :)

Butters looks nothing like Marlon Brando. Cartman was "their boy." Both groups!

No, I've watched maybe three. I found all of them to be in bad taste.There are entire episodes where all they're trying to do is out-do themselves in the bad-taste arena. Other times, they do have an agenda of political or societal commentary.
When it comes to bad taste, they like to "draw a line" of how far they should go. Then they take a few steps back (metaphorically). That way they can get a good, running start before vaulting over that line! lol.
For instance, you want to talk about bad taste? Check out the "Scott Tennaman Must Die" episode. I kept thinking, "they didn't just do that! And then "This can't get any worse (in a bad taste sense). And then it did! Over and over again! It was GREAT!!!!
I'm going to hell for making my 81 year old Aunt watch the "Woodland Critter Christmas" episode.

The NAMBLA episode is also one of my favorites, definitely top 5. Other favorites would have to include "Mega-Streisand", the Janet Reno episode(they got it out three days after her stormtroopers snatched Elian Gonzales), Timmy and Jimmy joining the Crips was also a good one, but I'd have to say my favorite was the Christopher Reeves stem cell episode. That one had me in tears it was so funny.

No, I've watched maybe three. I found all of them to be in bad taste. Like fine wine, it's an acquired taste. I had a similar reaction but now I am debased enough to enjoy the show. Stone and Parker are fearless in attacking fashionable liberal BS, whether it's hybrid cars, gays in the Boy Scouts, you name it.
Frankly, South Park is doing far more to grow and nuture conservative concepts and ideology than the RNC ever will.

When does Rolling Stone believe it was transformed into the bastion of good taste and decent behavior?
Do they still publish ads from prison inmates for pen-pals. How about the ads for ways of beating drug tests?

I believe them when they say they don't have a real political agenda. They just go after what they think is funny -- and liberals are much funnier than conservatives.
And when they think, they don't try to do "conservative" or "liberal", they just try to think about what makes sense -- which of course is the conservative position.
To: EveningStar
Yeah, and Mad Magazine is a heady tome.

If you can't laugh at yourself, and at the extremes of your own side, then you shouldn't laugh at anyone else!You, sir, have summed up my outlook of life, and I must say, that philosophy serves one very well.
Many on this site should heed that wisdom.
Thank you.

Ah. Well, it is a funny, and crude show. And "Team America" is minute for minute one of the funniest movies in history.

Same here I have watched 2 or 3 episodes. One was about cannibalism which I don't find very funny. I forget what the others were about but not funny. I have a very good sense of humor and enjoy the sick stuff usually but not South Park.
