South Park: A Political Guide?
Storm Rider:
I'm going to go ahead and say that South Park's political statements are some of the most inane, simplistic attempts at 'social commentary' I've seen in popular media. It's a pretty fucking depressing indication of the state of political discourse in this country when turning one of the sides into alien crabs is considered insightful.
analogthought:
It is completely sad that this is considered insightful. It's completely sad that so many people find more intellectual content in a show on comedy central (via colbert/stewart) etc. than what you can typically find on an actual news network. I think also, having grown up in a smaller town, and now living in new york... it's good to know that these kinds of thoughts extend outside the safety zones of big cities and are thrust into the homes of viewers all across middle america.
