WARNING... RANT...

My LOVE\HATE relationship with South Park...

I'm usually a pretty conservative type of guy but there is one thing I must admit.... In general, South Park is one of the most amusing ADULT-Oriented programs around... at times its DAMN funny...

At other times I think the creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, use the program to see just how many buttons they can push and HOW FAR they can push them.

While some of the episodes are some of the funniest TV out there, there are some episodes that just plain stop even TRYING to be funny in order to try to piss somebody ... anybody... off enough to cause a stir.

To get that media attention, to get people talking at work:
"Did you see that F'D up stuff they showed on South Park last night?"

I can see pushing boundaries and sometimes breaking them, but do so with an intention of SOME sort of humor, not the intention of "let's see who we can piss off today".

Rant over...
