South Park, on comedy central, is one of my favorite shows to watch. Every episode relates to a recent movie, event, or political issue. They make fun of celebrities and are not afraid of offending anyone. I love South Park. It always makes me laugh so hard. Last Wednesday night's, AND last nights new episode were about the BP oil spill and LeBron James. For the BP oil company, they basically made the company look really stupid. They made up there own silly commercials apologizing for what they did. It continued on to about five characters in the show asking themselves, "What should I do? Should I admit to them that I made mistakes?" You can see a short clip of this Lebron Reference here. This is what Lebron James said, and clearly the makers of South Park, Trey Stone and Matt Parker, thought it was funny. On the CNN website, you can read what critics have to say about this episode by Clicking Here.
I thought this episode was hilarious, and I recommend YOU to watch it. All you have to do is go to South Park Studios and click the episode "Mysterion Rises."
South Park always looks at current events from an interesting point of view. Sometimes, the show can make you think about things in a different way than you might have otherwise. Although,it can be offensive as well. It really depends on the subject matter. Particular groups or people might find it disturbing or offensive, so the producers should take that into consideration when creating episodes of South Park.
ReplyDeletefunniest show ever!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link to South Park Studios. I've fallen behind on the show, so this is awesome.
ReplyDeleteAs to the question of whether or not South Park is offensive, it definitely is. However, a lot of satire offends people. Personally, I always take any offensive material they have with a grain of salt because in the end, it's used to relay a good message to people. It's not just offensive for the sake of being offensive.
