Default C'mon down to South Park!

Well, I know a few people here like South Park. Just wondering what the rest of you thought. Personally, I think that if you excluded the coarse language and some of the more violent or not so "clean" scenes, you'd actually have a very beautiful story with a very clear message. So, uh...what say you?

Personally, I think if you excluded the coarse language and some of the more violent or not so "clean" scenes, you'd have nothing but commercials. But seriously though, folks, seriously though, it's got great characters and great music, and that anime spoof episode, "Good Times With Weapons" made me rofl because it was so accurate.

LOL. What I meant to say was that South Park would still be great and all without the profanity, but not cut out the whole scene. Just no cursing and stuff.

Why no cursing? Who does it hurt?

It's put in so that it attaracts the mainstream. If you peel away all the layers and just watch the episodes, though, usually you end up with some very brilliant commenting on today's society. The fact that they can get it in there without shoving it down your throat is genius. Usually Kyle or Stan ends up making a speech in which they sum up the entire point of the show. Cartman is just... hehe...

But yeah, Stan and/or Kyle's "I learned something today" speeches are good at summing up what they were trying to say, but it's usually pretty easy to figure out.

I guess that's what I was trying to say, but I didn't express myself very well. Take away the profanity and you still have a wonderful satire and sometimes a very good moral. Even with the cursing, South Park still can deliver an important message to its viewers.

And I think there's usually a piano playing in the background while they're doing the "I learned something" speech. Always same tune.

Eh, usually characters have thier own music for the moment. Notice Goo has her own little stuff that's ALWAYS in the background?

I pretty much copied that verbatim from what my brothers said a while back. They certainly have some... interesting... stoylines...

With South Park the course language is usually not the punchline, it's just part of their language. And they are very socially aware . It is a smart show with a funny art style.
