Yeep. I never really found it to be a good show, though I never really had any complaints about it either. They do the most disgusting, and shocking things they can think of and it draws an audiance, and money.
There is no "good" motive to what these guys do, they are there to make money, and I can almost guarentee they laugh all the way to the bank, knowing that they make millions by making a shi**y card board cut out cartoon where the hardest choice they have to make, is if to kill Jesus this week or not, or if they should make Hitler look like a good guy or bad guy this week.
The only thing that kind of disturbs me, is that south park has a fairly large audiance of kids, that have think its perfectly fine to repeat a lot of what goes on (which Im sure the creators laugh their asses about as well). |

I grew up on a ranch and if I had ever been caught tormenting ANY animal the way Irwin did I would have had my as* kicked so hard I would not be able to sit down for a week.
Slice and dice it anyway you chose Irwin was 'interacting' with wild animals in inappropriate ways and that's how his was killed.
Oh yeah, I have discussed this with my cousin, originally from Canada who has lived in Astralia for about forty years. He suggests that Australians have a somewhat 'different' attitude towards wild animals.
We've been over this before. Puffin doesn't know sh!t about Steve, which is apparent in his ramblings about him. Anyone who watched his show a couple times know better than to say somthing as ridiculous as he "tormented animals."
P.S. I wasn't offended, it South Park for god sakes. |

They where there would be prudes and they threw it right in their face, awesome. You got it.
It was brilliant. That episode didn't actually mock Irwin. Satan was throwing a costume party and went over the tell Irwin that it was too soon to dress up like a dead Irwin only to learn that it was Irwin and he wasn't wearing a costume. So he kicked him out of the party because he wasn't wearing a costume. :lol: |

I'm glad some other people picked this up. They wern't really making fun of him so much as touching on the idea without really saying anything.
Also, I understand some humor is lost on certain people, but to all the people who are saying the show is "stupid" or "dumb".... maybe your the one lacking extra brain cells. Bathroom humor aside, some of their stuff is genius, that's right, GENIUS. |

| I just heard about it-South Park should be ashamed-think how his family and fans feel about it. Sometimes I hate the world we live in. |

I'd rather blame corrupt politicians and militant muslims. You can blame cartoons all you want, sounds pretty crazy. |

Yea I hate bathroom humor 90% of the time. Still, there's no other show that you can watch that has a pretty un-bias, satirical glimpse of American culture that often tackles taboo issues in weeks rather than months like most outlets. They let Steve off easy, Trust me. |

Yes it is, both creators are from Canada, it is produced in Canada. Sounds pretty Canadian to me.
Also, the whole blame canada thing must have been right over your head, because it was sarcasm, satire yes, but that just makes it all the more sarcastic. Dontcha thunk??
As well, they make fun of Americans on a per show basis. How does that fit into your idea? You think Americans and Candians don't ever make fun of themselves? Hell these guys make fun of everyone and everything. There is no bias, it is all or nothing.
Watch some of the DVD Boxed Seasons. On either season 1 or 2, Trey Parker and Matt Stone explain their roots, they said Canada and not to mention, when they said this, they were just outside their studio, which is in Canada.
Related to the topic of Erwin, remember the episode about Erwin's show? Where he ran around trying to stick his thumb up animal's butts to piss them off?
"OOOOh thats a big gatah, I'm gonnah stick my thumb up his a** and see if I can't piss ehm off..."
Steve Erwin laughed at that. I thought he'd be mad but he thought South Park was funny, even when they poked fun at him. Excuse the poke pun. |

| South Park is a cult series, I love the show because no-one is off limits. From Starvin Marvin to "oh my god, they killed Kenny" I laugh every time I hear that. Has for old Steve Irwin, it was only a matter of time before South Park got to him. For all those too squeemish, dont watch.. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xNi292AQe0 or watch this... www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfjSxpQan6w&mode=related&search= |
