Yup. That explains a good bit of it.Remember what Sheila Browlowski said? "Just remember what the MPAA has taught us. Horrific and deplorable violence is ok, just as long as there isn't any naughty words. That's what this war is about." -from "Southpark: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" Actually, I fail to see why Orgazmo wasn't an R rated movie. Guess it's all that implied sex that is covered up better than Eyes Wide Shut. (Excuse me if I didn't get that quote word for word...but you get the point.)

Well Alan, I have to disagree with you on just about every point there. South Park is not the problem with our society, parenting is the problem. Your assertion that because kenny dies every episode will make kids think they are immune to death is absurd. How many times did Wile E. Cyote bite the dust, all in the same cartoon, but still kept on ticking and kicking. Those cartoons have been around for over fifty years. How many times has Goofy gone over a cliff, or daffy duck been shot dead in the face or exploded on stage? My friend what is happening here is horribly poor parenting. It doesn't matter what kids watch, its who watches it with them, and how they relate to that person. My daughter watches south park all the time, but I wont let her see the movie, but what she watches, she watches with me. We talk about the show, its realities and its fantasies. She is very grounded and all my kids are this way. None of them think they are invincible in any way, because they have me to be afraid of! (not much of a threat, I am wrapped around thier fingers....)------------------ "If it's not worth doing, I have allready been there and done it"

A minor point...Wile E. Coyote (Genius) and Daffy Duck never 'died'. Granted, they were thrown off cliffs and shot in the face respectively but no-one ever died, or mentioned the words dead or killed. They say they've killed Kenny every week. Some shows are simply not for kids and parents have got to sit up and start paying attention instead of just being glad their kids are occupied. ------------------ "It's not the years honey, it's the mileage".

I guess it was always inferred, but never mentioned. As long as I can remember watching these cartoons, I knew that Daffy SHOULD have been dead. I knew about guns.But Kenny ACTUALLY DIES every week. Anyway, you're right, time to get back to Film-Tech and leave the degredation of our children to South Park's creators. ------------------ "It's not the years honey, it's the mileage". Indiana Jones.
