Really though? Doesn't everyone hold something sacred? The American constitution, for instance, or your love of 'real' instruments. There's a difference of order, of course, but no real difference in the hallowed status of certain things.

You're thinking of '97 SP, back when the show was still burying it's roots. They've been much more political lately, without firmly leaning towards either side. The show is notorious for taking the piss out of everyone, and everything; and doing so at a blindingly quick rate due to their production techniques, often only days after an issue strikes. I can partially dig older episodes of the Simpsons, and I know most of the main cast by name...but it's like beating a dead horse these days. |

the constitution and analog instruments are not sacred. they are revered by me, but sacred means untouchable and implies infallibility. the moment anyone decrees that this or that is "sacred" they are exerting control over the thoughts and actions of those who do not view it as sacred or sacred yet.

I just don't see the point of disrespecting people simply to upset them, and it seems that South Park does this alot.

being "offended' is ussually the first step in honestly questioning what one believes.

But what's the point about dissing Islam? People who are raised in islamic countries join Islam because they're told to. Eventually they'll quit later. People who are raised in another religion, and later join Islam, like Cat Stevens, probably know more about it than you and me.. --- Do you seriously think that a dude with a big beard, living in north Africa, can have an influence on the content of a cartoon made by americans, for ameicans?? |

That's true. I think they take the wrong approach personally, though, and just end up really making people feel angry and aggressive.
Edit- in regards to Rob's post |

I am talking about idiot's reactions to a TV show they do not watch, whether they are muslim or fucking scientologists, it does not matter,. they are fuckheads. I am down with "dissing" any and all religions. fuck em all. (anti-theism for humanity's win) Obviously, a dude with a big beard, living 800 years ago, spouted some rhetoric which was turned into a religion which in turn has influenced the content of a cartoon made by americans for americans. It happened. rather than let the furor start, comdey central (or viacom or whoever of the three large corporations that own all broadcasting owns it) decided to, without the knowledge or input of the shows creators or poducers, alter the show in case some fuck with a homemade bomb up his ass was watching and got mad, or just heard about it and got mad.

I think Paramount owns CC. But, SP's attacks aren't pointless. They even sum up the moral intent of the subject matter at the end of each episode. The entire series truly is brilliant.

You have just defined why every satirist from Swift to Twain to South Park have been decried and ridiculed and why they SHOULD continue doing what they do. fuck people if they can't take a joke.

and all the output of all those media companies are controlled by one rich old white guy and a board of directors of maybe 12-20 people.

I agree to disagree. Yes, I think it would be good if more people could learn to take a joke, but some people are just sensitive, due to whatever circumstances in their life have brought them to be that way. I think there are other approaches than to just keep hatrid spinning in an endless, circular battle. Muslim Extremists could mellow out, and not take everything so personally. South Park could stop stabbing at open wounds. |

yr comparing apples and oranges. let some algerian TV show start making little jokes about Jesus, and then let some right wing fanatics start threatening the algerians with death for airing such a cartoon. THEN your comparison would hold water

There are THREE corporations that own every single "major" record label in the whole country.
hell, ONE corporation, clearchannel, owns 95% of the FM radio stations in the USA I blame Bill Clinton for passing the FCC act,.
