We actually tried to watch Orgazmo recently and we thought it was about as baaaaaaad as Baseketball...

But we ADORE Cannibal the Musical.

You have to remember, something that these guys LOVE to do is screw with the audience!

Do you remember that cliff-hanger, where Cartman's father's identity was going to be revealed in the next episode? And instead of showing that episode, they did a "Terrance and Phillip Special?"

I read an interview where one of the guys said that they were just making a joke, but they started getting death threats!

I get the feeling they might be a little closer to our view than the other side. OMKAY???

Oh, they certainly are. It's one of the reasons I dig "South Park." They really rag on the liberals.

What's funny is that a lot of liberals like the show and don't see that Parker and Stone's ideaology is making fun of them most of the time.

They have said, effectively, that it's both easier and more fun to rip on liberals right now. Therefore that's what they're doing.

Given Michelle Malkin's extremely accurate description of the Left from her latest book, it's almost like dropping a grenade to kill the fish in the barrel. Parker and Stone clearly know how self-indulgent and nihilist the Hollywood Left is, and it's just too easy to make fun of them.

A great adventure is waiting for you ahead
Hurry onward Lemmiwinks or you will soon be dead
The journey before you may be long and filled with woahs
But you must escape the gay man's a$$ or your tale cant be told

All hail the Gerbil King!

"Tom Cruise...come out of the closet, Tom. It's OK. Just come out of the closet now..."

That was my FAVORITE episode from this past season. I've seen it twice and just laughed all the way through it.

I love that it was written, conceived, drawn, produced and everything else by John Smith or Jane Smith.

Hey, dont knock BASEketball. I laughed my ass off when Jenny McCarthy hands the trailer hitch to the old, bad guy with chrome on her face and says, "Here I'm done with this one."

Does South Park take story idea submissions? I have a few ideas I would like to submit.

"(Hey, Rob Reiner: Watch your back!) "


Hasn't South Park already skewed Reiner's fat a$$ in an episode that mocked the anti-smoking movement?

Theirs and Comedy Central's voice mail boxes were overloaded with hate and threats. Some of the calls were so over the top that Comedy Central ran them as commercials for South Park.
