Deep in a maze of adobe-colored huts at the Hyatt Grand Champions Resort conference center in Indian Wells, California, men in polo shirts are striding to 8:30 a.m. meetings. Most are gathering to debate recent advances in re-wetting drops for contact lenses -- "I have superior lens technology to Bob, I know that," one man jabbers, croissant in hand -- but beyond the golf course, in a hut with a majestic plaque reading villa capri, six Viacom employees huddle over coffee on polka-dotted chairs. This is the secret corporate retreat for Comedy Central's most popular, antinomian and flat-out awesomest show: South Park...

List of Ping Lists

[ottersnot]

I love Southpark. They've got the guts to confront political correctness.

[Rodney King]

Please put my on the south park ping list. thanks.

[SShultz460]

only if Comedy Central lets them put it on

[ConservativeStatement]

[Kimmers]

I am so offended by some of the South Park episodes and yet I love some of them.

There is nothing in the constitution that guarantees the right not to be offended. If I do not like an episode I shut it off or watch something else.

I think the writing is pure genius and and anyone that does not adhere to the rules of political correctness is OK in my book.

[capt. norm]

I love this line:

"We should give the homeless designer sleeping bags and really nice clothes so they're pleasant to look at".

These guys really have the liberals pegged.

[billybudd]

Unlike The Simpsons, which is intellectual and pleasantly dumb in its portrayal of American life, using both to further a leftist agenda, South Park offers simple parables -- often with an optimistic message -- to take aim at all issues without ever showing its hand.

I'm surprised Rolling Stone admitted this.

[Blackirish]

Who annoys you?

n-ggars

naggers....LOL

[FreedomPoster]

"That's the most punk-rock thing you can do in L.A.: say 'George Bush is f****** awesome' instead of talking about how lame it is that he's fighting for oil," says Parker.

Spot on. I love how they kick the Politically Correct in the teeth.

[Tzimisce]

"... I can say things like 'fudge-packing faggot'...."

What's everyone mad at Ann Coulter about now?

[SpaceBar]

I find the timing curious that Rolling Stone magazine has this feature article on South Park, and Youtube just recently pulled most of their original South Park content.

[Michael.SF.]

The NAMBLA episode is a classic and one of my all time favorites!

Kyle: Now are you a team player or not?
Butters: Well sure, I'm a team player, I guess.
Kyle:Well Butters, there is no "I" in team.
Butters:You mean to expect me to go out there and let all those horny old men have their way with my fragile person? Well, just what team is this anyway?
Kyle:Get going Butters, we're running out of time.
Butters:Well, uh alright then.
Kyle:He, he's a dumb ---.
Butters:Alright men, here I come. I'm ready to take one for the team.

[SteveMcKing]

Poor "Old Cracker".

He went and got himself banned... Now he can't insult and deride other people for watching cartoons he doesn't like.

[HairOfTheDog]

Terrific article! I wish I could quote the last page of it, but I can't! Still good though.

[dr_who_2]

Maybe if they keep running articles about South Park, they'll get their readership back.

[rbosque]

It is sick and offensive.

[EveningStar]

You're on! :)

[Names Ash Housewares]

I love it too.

Hilarious and dead on nailing PC crap to the wall.
