South Park. How can they?

[Alabama Larry]

Just wondering? How can they get away with some of the things they do? When it first came on I watched it a few times but never have since, but last nite was a New episode and I was scanning channels. I will not mention the show, how can they write and show this trash? Maybe I'm getting weird in my old days, but I'll continue to stay away. Did anyone else see it?

I watched it. Thought it was pretty funny. Usually they are much faster to satire celeberties in the news, but I guess being between seasons during the Kramer fiasco set them behind.

I watched it. Wasn't one of their better ones but it was still funny.

 

The thing to keep in mind is that it is almost always satire.

I thought it was pretty lame, but I wasn't offended. It was an interesting look at discrimination. Also, it was intended as satire. The NYC banning of the famous racial slur is pretty weak IMO and South Park made it look even weaker.

I watched and was cracking up, Cartman fighting the Midget with disturbed playing was HILARIOUS!!!

I watched peices of it...if it offends someone I guess they just shouldn't watch it. You have the right to change the channel.

Watched it as well. I always love the episodes with Stan's dad in them. He's by far my favorite character on that show.

Him doing Def Poetry was funny

I mentioned that I was going thru the channels. Garbage and I'm sad. Satire I can handle but the pile of men was a bit too much. There has to be a limit. And its my $00.02.

It's intended for comedic purposes and mainly adult comedic purposes. Although some get highly offended, the show's main purpose and goal is to specialize in that type of comedy. Personally, I see nothing wrong with it being it is a show based on comedic value, and is intended to watch for a good laugh. Offensive or not that is Matt Stone and Trey Parkers purpose and to many they have succeded in this goal.

You didn't see the new one...you saw the one on illegal immigration didn't you? That one is hilarious.

Its coming back on right now!!!

I have to admit that I LOVE Southpark. I have my Tivo set to record all episodes on every channel on an ongoing basis. That way I can watch all I want after the kids have gone to bed.

 

Some of my favorites.

 

episode where Cartman wants to join NAMBLA because they "care about kids".

episode about the female teacher's "improper" behaviour with one of her students.

Tom Cruise Scientology episode.

 

mmmmmkay.......

People that get offended by television shows bother me a lot. They do have the 'OFF' option...

There doesn't have to be a limit. If you don't like it, or if it offends you, I suggest you push "off" or "up" or "down" or any combination of numbers that match a channel you would like to watch.
