South Park Right Now Is Doing A Schiavo Story

comedy central

[My Favorite Headache]

Is anyone else watching this? Cartman as Michael Schiavo? Kenny as Terri?

[RedBloodedAmerican]

What channel?

[My Favorite Headache]

Kenny was going to lead the armies of heaven to victory, but they saved his life and put him on life support

The GOP is controlled by the Emperor from Star Wars, lol

[Ramius]

Oh dear God.

This will not end well. :-)

[My Favorite Headache]

Should re-air tonight again around 12 or 1 EST.

[AzSteven]

And your reward for saving the universe - A life-sized Keanu Reeves statue made of gold...

That was funny. Sick, but funny...

[MikefromOhio]

I caught the end of it....

I want the statue of Keanu Reeves dammit!! LOL

[The Iguana]

I'm not expecting keen moral insight on this issue from South Park.

Sounds like I wouldn't be disappointed.

[Ramius]

That was funny. Sick, but funny...

That was pretty much my reaction to Team America. :-)

How, Lord, can something so vile be so ~damn~ funny?

[Rca2000]

WHY, do intelligent conservatives here, seem to applaud a sick, demented show like "south park", making light of such a far-reaching subject?

[thoughtomator]

Completely outrageous and tasteless this time around. Not to say I didn't enjoy it.

[JSteff]

Well at least they got back to topic driven humor. They missed their chance with arafat and his "persistent death" state.

They could have done that real justice.

[flixxx]

Wow!
I knew they would be doing an episode about this topic, but I did not think it would be this soon!!
Just what you would expect from South Park...skewer both sides of the issue with no mercy...

[My Favorite Headache]

Sounds like you "get it"

[Hunble]

OUTSTANDING!

How do they produce a new show, in such a short time?

[MikefromOhio]

well we could pull up the tapes of Politically Incorrect for you...

South Park is funny and if you watch it, you would realize it makes fun of Liberals, hippies and one world types....not to mention the devil and Osama and Saddam and.....


Simple reason, because it's funny.

[Ramius]

O.C.!!! You're back!!!

We missed you. :-)

[WestVirginiaRebel]

That's what Terri needed! Someone who had the power of Best Friend Forever! But at least Kenny got to save Heaven.

[MikefromOhio]

computer animation and this story has been going on for weeks now, I am sure they could get it done in a week with computers and stuff, but they have had 2 to do it....

[pocat]

I can handle humor that makes fun of just about anything, but South Park's "cute little" Jesus jokes make me physically ill.

Some things ARE sacred.

[HairOfTheDog]

Heh.... ecurbh'n I were just talking about whether they would do this! We figgered they were writing the show this week and might not be able to resist.... Will watch it in two more hours :~D

[jaybee]

VERY well done!

For those who didn't watch, the "conclusion" was that those with the wrong motives (Cartman as Michael S.) were making the right decision, and those with the virtuous motives (the parents)were doing the wrong thing. Heaven needed Kenny.

[thoughtomator]

I have no idea how to express "it" though, but yeah I get it.

[HairOfTheDog]

They write them at the last minute a lot...

[My Favorite Headache]

You need to borrow my asbestos suit? You will need it in 5...4..3..2..1...

[Ramius]

Some things ARE sacred.

Which is why a fart in church remains just about the funniest thing on the planet.

Lighten. The Heck. Up.

:-)

[MikefromOhio]

yep...

they have some talent....

[thoughtomator]

Some things ARE sacred.

Not in South Park.

To watch South Park enjoyably you have to be willing to forgive when one's own dearest beliefs are skewered, for the rare opportunity to laugh at the ridiculous things other people take seriously.

I almost turned this episode off, but I'm glad I didn't.

[jaybee]

Not necessarily my opinion. I'm just quoting Stan or Kyle, or whoever delivered the last bit.

[MikefromOhio]

and SOME people have a stick up their butt....

Lighten up Francis

[MikefromOhio]

"If any of you homos, touch me.....I'll kill ya"


One of the greatest, most repeated quotes ever....

[Ramius]

Don't tell Willie Green, but they have most of the animation done overnight in China after they sketch up the storyboards. They can turn around a new episode in less than a week.

[MikefromOhio]

ohhh no!! LOL

I think he will be pi$$ed that it wasnt done in Pittsburgh, much less America :)

[finnman69]

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

[JSteff]

"How do they produce a new show, in such a short time?"

They always used to do that. It was part of made it so good. They last season and a half they got away from it and it was some of the least funny shows they ever did.

Glad to see they are back to it, even if I do not agree with their slant on this issue.

[JSteff]

Yeah but they were still getting their digs at the mormans.

[Windsong]

You must be Catholic.

[eyespysomething]

They did Janet Reno in a bunny suit snatching foreign kids 3 days after the Easter raid-n-grab of Elian Gonzalez.

[Rca2000]

Yeah. I know, I guess I AM too serious. AND-- It has gotten me NOWHERE. Especially with women. I WILL try to lighten up, a litttle more.(But-- I STILL watch old, classic cartoons, like Tom and Jerry, flintstones, jetsone and loony toons, and sometimes, laugh till it hurts!!!)

[maine-iac7]

Have you all seen this incredible tape of Terri opening her eyes for the dr. - he keeps saying "open you eyes{ - so she finally arches her eyebrows high and her eyes wide as if to say: "Hey, how about THIS!"
It will make you laugh and then cry - SHE IS THERE - she needs therapy...THIS IS A MUST - must get it our everyone. I've sent it to all the FOX addresses, Rush, Hannity ets - but they have to get slammed with this to pay attention, so it doesn't get lost.

[Ramius]

It's important to be able to laugh, and especially if the subject is totally vile. I'm not saying that lightly. To be able to see the humor in a more grand perspective of a serious thing is to be able to laugh with God at the frailty and senselessness of man.

We're pretty funny critters, especially when we're trying to be serious.

[thoughtomator]

I'm not so sure there is really a slant to this one, because the premise was totally off the wall, and there were a lot of details that were specifically - I think intentionally - different. A written living will, the fact that Kenny was actually dead and then brought back to life, and other things jumped out at me as purposeful differences.

I don't think the moral of this story is to let Terri die, not at all.

The moral of this story (as I see it, anyway) is to not get so serious as to lose one's ability to laugh.

[WestVirginiaRebel]

The most important thing to remember in all of this is that the Japanese have no souls.

I like South Park a lot, don't know about this episode though, I can take almostany joke, but any parody on the Terri Schindler case will not sit too well with me, but I'll watch it and judge for myself.



The RCA 2000 for 1969, an intersting set, if you have one, it is a gem. I have a 1970 Zenith Chromacolor 23" set I'd like to fix up if I get the time and money.

Someday, I'd love to have a "roundie" color TV like my aunt had.

[537cant be wrong]

we are pretty funny critters.
i have always said don't laugh at others if you can't laugh at yourself.
stuck here in the ol' salt mines, damn, wish i could see this episode. south park is my all time favorite show.
been stuck on 2:30pm till 1:30 shift since november.
guess i really need to get tevo.
CARTMAN KICKS A**
i have alot of friends who don't get southpark. no matter how much i try to convince them of how truely vile and humorous it is. it may be the style of cartooning, the sidewards siddle of the characters.
must have been raised on owl jolson cartoons i guess.

[Nowhere Man]

Yeah. I know, I guess I AM too serious. AND-- It has gotten me NOWHERE. Especially with women. I WILL try to lighten up, a litttle more.(But-- I STILL watch old, classic cartoons, like Tom and Jerry, flintstones, jetsone and loony toons, and sometimes, laugh till it hurts!!!)

Me too. I think the Cartoon Channel jumped the shark although I like the Adult Swim cartoons if I can catch them, especially, the "Aqua Teen Hunger Force." "Master Shake, Meatwad and Frylock" are cool. B-) I also liked it when MTV had "Liquid Television" too. I got to see the early Beavis and Butt-Head cartoons there along with sleep classics like "Slow Bob in the Lower Dimensions."

I still love the classics though. I always liked Jonny Quest.
