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.
HAHAHAHA!

That's not what happens. Geez. Tom is in the closet and they're trying to get him out. This reporter substituted the innuendo for the actual plot.
They were nominated, if that's being crapped on.
I didn't see any of those who were nominated, so I'm really no judge.
Yeah - what's up with all the very small images. They make the thread load slow for no reason.
Yeah, Begin, what's the point with the 1-pixel resized images in all your posts?
Thank goodness for Firefox and Adblock, so I can filter out that kind of crap.
LOL, poor Saddam.
I once read an interview with the sysadmin for the movie. Apparently some really bad stuff got cut that may find its way into a DVD extra, but there's no way they'd ever release some of the other stuff they did.
hehe. Excellent!
beautiful
The wording of this sentence says "please don't sue me too".
It's just that they hate liberals much more than they hate conservatives.”
And the problem with that is…?
