Saddam's cartoon torture
By SARA NATHAM TV Editor TOPPLED dictator Saddam Hussein is being tormented in jail – by being forced to watch HIMSELF in South Park.
The evil tyrant is portrayed in the movie version of the cult cartoon as the Devil’s gay lover.
South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut was banned in Iraq on its launch in 1999 for showing Saddam as a homosexual.
The film featured him trying to take over the world with Satan.
He is currently behind bars in Iraq as he stands trial on charges of genocide.
South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone yesterday revealed Saddam is made to watch the movie “repeatedly” by the US Marines guarding him.
Speaking at Edinburgh TV Festival, Matt said: “I have it on pretty good information from the Marines on detail in Iraq that they showed him the movie.
“That’s really adding insult to injury. I bet that made him really happy.”
The American animators also confirmed that Tom Cruise threatened to pull out of all publicity for Mission Impossible III unless Paramount, which also makes South Park, axed a repeat showing of an episode lampooning him.
It showed a Scientologist character called Tom Cruise struggling to come out as gay. Cruise was dumped by Paramount last week.
Can't wait to hear the lecture from Kennedy, Kerry & Dubin on this one
BTW, the Emmy's just spoofed Tom Cruise in the closet during the opening sequence, and the crowd loved it.
Conan found himself trapped in various shows (Lost, 24, House, The Office), and he runs into Stan's room and into the closet. Then he jumps out "Someone else is in there!!!" And TC pops his head out of the closet.
Funny stuff.
Rumblings that something big and not good is gonna happen to $cientology in the next week or so...
I loved the Saddam Satan love scenes....very hot.
Nah, once Dirty Harry Reid and friends hear of this they will demand equal time and show Saddam a show he would enjoy and support such as...Bill Maher.
That's what my hubby said,
Best thing I've heard in a long time!
Bill Maher. Now that's torture.
Looking forward to watching that... The Emmys start here in a little bit. Do we see Matt or Trey on the red carpet? How much attention should I pay to this?
Respect my authority, beotch!
f*** no....
What is South Park? Is that in Illinois?
Ahh the Emmys. My mother just called and said "Flight 93" is getting crapped on. Any surprise?
Yeah, but we can hope that it's true.
Yeah I was wondering that too. Noticed the line and checked the source.
Whenever you have a cross section of people some are going to like it, some are go hate it. Me? I love SP, I think it is one of the most creative shows going and they poke fun at everyone!
My favorite is stil the one about NAMBLA, you know the North American Marlon Brando Look-a-likes.
What is South Park? Is that in Illinois?
FreeRepublic is a big tent that encompasses a larger politcal spectrum than Dems would like to admit.
South Park's creators are Libertarians. Other Libertarians seem to love them, at the other end of the spectrum are Fundamentalist Christians who are justifiably offended by South Park.
There's a lot of in between.
Here's a picture of me in South Park, Colorado.
