Why does this remind me of a vulgar comic book?

Always tried to teach those who worked for me that any idiot could use profanity but it takes a real class act to cuss a sandcrab out ...without using any profanity.

It reminds you of a vulgar comic book because it's absurd overuse of curse words, and intentionally so, because it's the point in the movie where the pretentious moralizing that wraps up a Jerry Springer episode or Schoolbreak Special would normally go. And the cursing is in a rated R movie. I hope that you appreciate that characters cursing a blue streak in R-rated movies are distinct from the rest of the world--especially the puppets in this one.

All things in moderation, I say.

Ummm...because it is a vulgar comic book?

My wife once watched "A Clockwork Orange", and said afterwards that she didn't get it, that it was just random violence. I told her that she got it, and didn't even know it. That was the whole point. With "Team America", I heard someone say that it is just so politically incorrect that it cannot be watched. I told them they got the gist of the movie right there.

No, really, there is some great satire in there. Hey. It isn't deep. But it is funny! I do believe in aiming your satire to the level of the target of your satire, but I suspect, with respect to liberals, the producers did not aim quite low enough.

After a particularly nasty hearing in a particularly nasty divorce case, I confronted the other attorney in the hallway and chewed him up one side and down the other about honor and integrity and accusing him of having any shred of concern for the 6 year old girl in the case. As I talked, he got redder and redder and the muscles in his face twitched. I never raised my voice and I never used any language which could be deemed offensive. After I had finished, he called me a cun* and walked off. He's a federal judge now. But his wife wears Christmas sweaters in February. LOL

My manager has gotten the non-profanity cussing down to an art. It is a thing of wonder to see him tearing into someone, whether it is in person or over the phone, because he never raises his voice above a hoarse whisper (the result of an injury suffered in the Balkans) and he doesn't use any profanity, but he gets his point across loud and clear.
