And if you don't think they're making more fun of there own, then what the hell do you think 'Team America' was about?? Durkha Durkhastan?? I'm not saying it was in the best taste, but people are more p'd off by a cartoon rather than the fact that there is already a halloween costume in the US. How would a grieving widow explain that if she had been back home visiting family and the person knocking on the door trick or treating was wearing one??

Probably would be funny in time but this occurred only 10 or so weeks ago. They would have had to pull the lead out to get this made which smacks of cheap opportunism. I generally like Trey Parker and Matt Stone but this is just a little too soon. Before arguing imagine it was your hero brockie. I could have it published that he beat his wife along with the myriad of other awful things he did and you would most probably be saying that I should have some respect. Well, same goes here.

Not talking to you, talking to all those who think I and others are somewhat demented for not sharing their sense of humour over a recent death where the person is shown in hell. For me, that would raise alot of issues with kids who happen to see it, or hear about how the guy best reknowned for doing the right thing ended up in hell.

If by that you mean me then no I'm not bud, I am agreeing that people are more p'd at the toon rather than the thousands of US kids that will be dressed this way for Halloween, I wonder which would be the bigger insult?? Kids can be forgiven, think about the number of adults going to the parties dressed like this.

I reckon the skit is quite funny really AND I am a Steve Irvin fan.
Think about it - do you reckon Steve Irwin would laugh at it? Of course he would, he woould be pis*ing himself with laughter !! Well done Southpark! |

I would think that if South Park or Comedy Central wanted to defend their story, your theory would come in handy. Instead, they have just said that we offend people, our fans won't be surprised. |

people are too sensitive, if you dont like something on Tv then dont watch it! but leave it on so those of us that choose to watch it can. why should we have to wait 2 years before its on tv? i know its on the net but still..

That would be called a uniform, work clothes, appropriate work attire as advised by Au OH&C regulatory standards Costume??? Themed??? Hmmm Quote:
Perhaps people get offended and it would not surprise there fans as they are used to this kind of feedback from those that would like to make an issue of a subject, regardless of intent on there part. Probably just saying they are over it and have a rubber stamp answer that works in all cases.

Also as someone mentioned they had Lady Di in their as well, if you want someone that did a hell of a lot of good why not kick up a stink about her being in Hell??

But i remember in the PB thread someone said something a little nasty about PB and that person was given the riot act;). I don't think anyone has said south park should be taken from the screens at all, Just have some RESPECT for the dead espically when the soil on his grave is still loose. Quote:

Now everyone is getting defensive because Aussie's dont like it, But think about it more and you will see it came from the U.S where right now they are split down the middle with SP right now on this.

It is very disrespectful to do it this early, If i was his wife/daughter at this stage I would find it very distressing! In a year or so I wouldnt mind. He was a goodbloke who doesn't deserve such disrespect so early!

I don't mind watching South Park and have laughed hard at when they take off other celebrities dead or alive, it's just what they do, someone is always going to get offended!
It wasn't that bad anyway judging by the video! |

Having seen this episode, I don't really get what all the fuss is over. Plus its not due to air here until late next year, by when it won't be too soon.
