No, in Springfield the following are Mensa members:

Lisa, Dr Hibbert, Principal Skinner, Professor, Comic Book Guy, and another woman who I forget the name of. Did I leave anyone out?

"In fact, Groening seems to detest conservatives. "

Exactly, just that like any Dim, he realises that to make money, he has to appeal to the masses. Who when they look at things, don't trust the Government on any issue.

Destroying Rosie O'Donnell and Streisand in their show deserve them some applause from us.

You are free to applaud if you like -- I refuse to.

I would rather have an intelligent dissection of their shallow, reactionary, errant opinions rather than making ugly pictures of them and laughing to myself.

[L.N. Smithee]

The creators of South Park have no problem with being called or referred to as conservatives. They embrace the label, as well as libertarian....Trey Parker and Matt Stone were recently given some award, and in their acceptance speech they talked about being republicans and the crowd went silent

Got sources?

Mr. President

There are too many states. Please remove three!

Ive got a code name for the up-coming attack on Iraq:

"Smithers, release the hounds!"

Maybe you don't understand the purpose of cartoons.

"Me fail English?" asks little Ralph Wiggum. "That's unpossible."

Made me laugh (again)...I love Ralph.

[Tribune7]

Exxxxxcellent.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Yep.

Anyone see this season's premiere? Homer fantasy come true with Rock and Roll Camp involving the Rolling Stones, Tom Petty, Elvis Constello, Lenny Kravitz, Brian Seltzer. The Stones voices sounded fake to me but at the end they showed video takes of the real Stones doing the vocals. In*credible.

Let's see. . .they believe in minimal Government interference in any lawful transaction between adults.

Sounds generically Conservative to me. I think there's very little YOU appreciate in "South Park", a show which I'll admit not having watched in years. . .

It would appear, from what you post, that you think Conservatives believe in mimimal government interference except in matters where it offends Christians.

BTW, from what I've watched, the teacher with a puppet isn't the "gay" character. The "gay" character is named, appropriately, Big Gay Al. . .

[SoothingDave]

The show may be rude, crude, and full of toilet humor, but it is funny, and has a strong conservative message to it. the examples are endless, but I suspect you care not to listen or learn.

You are correct. Perhaps, sadly, the better word for the message is "individualistic" or "libertarian," because many "conservatives" have their use for gov't force in people's business as well.

Did you happen to catch their "Pro-Life" episode where RU486 is attacked? Or the episodes where the abortion clinic has a sign on it "Unplanned Parenthood"? Or Cartman's demanding the abortion clinic "suck this soul out of me" causing a women who came to get an abortion to leave and keep the baby?

I almost fell off the couch last week when they cut to "Unplanned Parenthood." The NAMBLA episode, the sex education one, the sexual harrasment panda, the one where Cartman got sent to prison for racial harrassment for throwing a snowball at "Token."

All testify to South Park as the source for social satire and probably the only place most kids today will ever hear the pieties of the left exposed.

And who can forget "BeBe's Boobs Destroy Society?" SD

[dead]

I think Sideshow Mel is also a member of Mensa.

[hattend]

And who can forget "BeBe's Boobs Destroy Society?"

ugh...ugh...ooooh-ahh-ahh-ahh!!!

I was chuckling over that episode for days.

[SoothingDave]

I was chuckling over that episode for days.

Yep. That and Cartman gets his own theme park - "And You Can't Come!!! (especially Stan and Kyle)"

And for absolute shock value, nothing will ever beat "Scott Tenorman Must Die"

SD

[nutmeg]

bump to read later

[Oberon]

That was left-wing pablum.

I rather thought it equal-opportunity pablum, myself. They weren't any kinder to government than they were to industry.

[strider44]

And the Simpsons can't do everything, since South Park can now do it faster. Have the Simpsons ever talked about September 11th? Or anything relevent in the last year, like missing children or the Catholic Church issues?

So true. What about the episode about AIDS? Making fun of the Sub Way commercials. Jarred lost all the weight because he got "aides" It's been 25 years, AIDS is now officially funny...friggin hysterical. Couldn't agree more, South Park is much more reactive and current, and still the funniest movie I've ever seen in a theatre

Was that the one where they milk the dog and teach a pony to eat a weenie but it just coudn't get it to bite?

That was the most laugh-out-loud funny thing I have seen on either the large or small screen.

Geez, now I'm laughing out loud again...people are beginning to look. thanks.
