RE: [OT]IwishtomurdertheextremelyEnglishlanguageandanyextremelygramaticalstherewith

Vitally, please don't take this as a comment against you, because I don't
know how you feel about the other things I'm going to mention. 

It sort of amazes me that people can object to the revolting parts of South
Park and not object to the war and killing our country participates in, the
humanitarian disasters our country ignores, and the starving families on the
street in our neighborhoods. Yes, South Park is revolting. So is the world.
Americans seem to think it is less so because we, generally, have it so
good.

Mothers will stand by the video games in pizza parlors and movie houses and
happily watch their 9 year old sons and daughters frag "bad guys" in first
person shooters (complete with blood spatter) and then sneer at parents who
let their teenage kids watch South Park or The Daily Show where they learn
about the real world through comedy. 

"Dad, why is the Indian rubbing SARS infected Chinese men on a blanket and
then giving it to the people protesting the new freeway for the casinos on
the reservation so funny?"  "Well... It isn't really, you see; on the 'trail
of tears'..."

I tried watching SP as an experiment in keeping abreast of the modern 
American pop culture (some people I work with are SP fans), but found it too

revolting.
