So please don't start trying to morally legislate this new show in the name of the children.

It's no secret that children are attracted to cartoons. While I, as an adult, appeciate and enjoy some of the humor in shows like The Simpsons and South Park, some of the material is simply not appropriate for children. And if you want to use that flacid excuse that it's shown past children's bedtimes, ask yourself how many children you know that aren't intimately aware of the characters and storylines on South Park, which tries to cover itself with the same excuse.

I'm not trying to legislate anything by the way, just shaking my head at more of the putrid morality spewing from Hollywood. They are the ones who impose their morals (or lack of them) on us, pal, NOT the other way around.

Children are attracted to The Matrix and Terminator 3 as well... Those aren't animated. What's the excuse to complain there? Parents have the ability to take their children to see R-rated movies, or to disallow them to view them. Just like TV. Why complain about this?

I couldn't agree more... kids love cartoons and I do appreciate the adult humor in the Simpsons... but the mix... it forces kids to grow up beyond their years. If they watch it.

While you're better than most, you're still not getting it.

It is a parents responsibility to control what their child sees. Not yours (Except with you own kids.) and not mine (except with mine).

South Park doesn't 'need' and 'excuse'. It's parents who are doing the excuse making.
