are you fucking shitting me? this is quickly becoming one of the best seasons ever.
the coon, eat pray queef, fatbeard, wtf, dances with smurfs and last week's pee have been among their best yet.
i particularly enjoyed dances with smurfs.
i suspect the reason you don't like it as much is because they've been riffing on the right side of things lately, rather than playing it down the centre by exposing the absurdities of all sides. i don't think the guys at south park are any different, it's that america after the election has changed - at least the media landscape has. right wingers in media, now out of power and full of fear, have now gone totally insane in america. the word 'hyperbole' doesn't even cover it in the slightest. the parody of media figure like glenn beck would have been a lot funnier on a normal episode of south park, but glenn beck is already so crazy, he's actually difficult to exaggerate to the absurd extreme even for parker and stone. not unlike tina fey's parody of sarah palin where she used the quote from the couric interview verbatim, i was amazed at how little they have distort beck's image to get huge laughs.
if i knew what you were saying, i wouldn't have to listen to you talk in the first place. knowhati'msaying?
