south park

[Falconer02]

South Park deserves a medal. I hated the first few seasons until the writers actually started taking a stab at things going on in the world and seeing it from different viewpoints (siding WITH cigarette smokers? Wow!). Even now it's still hilarious. Some episodes are much better than others though-- hit or miss.

I just think it's sad that because since "this is America" that means that we are all just supposed to accept that kind of language (or behavior if that is the case) as "normal" for what we see on television and in life

Does not anyone worry about the language these kids are picking up and morals, they cus in all the cartoons now just about, does this reflect what american society is turning into, No wonder they had a skit about Brittians calling us oafs the other day if this is the kind of tv we give ratings too, then this is how the world will think of us. Our kids will learn bad habits and do things, and then we will punish them, and wonder why they did it. geeze maybe some parents been watching a little too much too, guess it affects everyones brain. A third of this country probably can not name who the vice president, gee I wonder why, but they can name the kids on south park.

I think South Park makes some pretty valid points on some of their topics. The creators are not afraid of voicing their opinions through this show. Yes there is a lot of swearing and I can see where people find that offensive, personally I don't but that's just me. As far as children watching it the show wasn't made for children, only adults. That's why they have it on late night. In my opinion the only way a parent is going to shield their child from picking up any sort of negativity from watching the TV is to just simply not have a TV at all. A lot of shows, even kids show IMO, shouldn't be viewed by younger kids. That's my opinion though and like someone already stated on here "opinions are like bellybuttons everyone has one".

This indeed may be America but we are still somewhat restricted with regards to what is allowed on TV.  The Hays code was a bit ridiculous not allowing a man and a woman to be in the same bed on TV but TV has liberalized considerably since the '30s and '60s.  However American TV is not nearly as free as European television where you've got nudity on every game show.

I say American TV could learn a thing or two from Europe and South Park is a step in the right direction

It's the parent(s) fault, NOT South Park.  Letting your kids run loose and not disciplining them, not paying attention to them, feeding them fast food and keeping them indoors, and not having them read books does WAY more damage.

hillarious...won't let my kids watch it...not that kind of funny for kids....if you are letting your kids watch it your a dumbass...

[Falconer02]

Exactly. I kind of got the impression that the movies moral was about this.

Haha my favorite is probably Man Bear Pig!  On another note I think that kids should be allowed to watch it. If cursing like they do on South Park is no big deal (which it isn't) then the kids watching won't think its a big deal and wont think, "Oh cursing is so cool."  I mean if a kid who never heard a curse word in their life but has always heard that they are "bad words" and shouldn't be used then when they do discover the secret curse words they'll make a big deal out of it, get very excited, and use the words often.

Joe Biden, Stan Marsh,Eric Cartman,  Kenney Mccormick, Kyle Broflovsky   Lets see if a third of the people know which one the vice president is

My boyfriend and I are both south park fans but we will not let our daughter watch it. Right now she is only 7 months but I do not want her watching it.
