rocketman089 Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 About that whole "It hits the fan", wasn't it the point of the whole show that we shouldn't curse so much? Yeah they said the s word 150+ times, but it did have a moral to it. Gamertag: King Arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubsa Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 The kids on South Park are not to be imitated. They're there to be protagonists in bringing the afore mentioned humour to the show. The show is for adults. It has adult humour in it. That's clear and presented by South Park itself. Don't blame the show for influencing kids, that's down to inept parenthood at letting their kids watch an adult show. Being a cartoon doesn't mean smeg all. But the show portrays children, and children will watch. Whether their parents want them to or not. And unfortunately, the immature brats do imitate them. Sorry, but your logic applies to so many other shows out there. I fail to see South Park as any different to them. Now, if you think it's a case of too much smut on telly as a whole, including these other shows, well fair call, that's what you believe. I can't challenge what you fundamentally believe. This is how much you all raised for charity. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barihawk Posted February 2, 2007 Share Posted February 2, 2007 The new Simpsons (it was family friendly a decade ago!), Family Guy, American Dad, just about every other "comedy" show out there. Yeah Bubsa, South Park is not alone. I'm sick of producers disguising all this innapropriate crap as cartoons. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers. Believe me, nothing except a battle lost can be half so melancholy as a battle won. -Sir Arthur Wellesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they weren't exactly saying you shouldn't say s*** because it is a bad word, just that saying it in excess makes it boring and meaningless.

A lot of episodes are vulgar and maybe excessive, but they usually do have a kind of ironic moral or theme. Gamertag: King Arizona Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barihawk Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I'm a teacher Yet you refer to children as immature brats :shock: You caught me in a moment of release. I love kids, but they shouldn't be exposed to this junk. Parents don't use the V-Chip enough. I caught an 11-year old wearing a Cartman shirt smoking once when student teaching. As I ripped it out of his mouth, he told me to "F*** Off!" He got away scot-free because the school didn't want to punish him. Those are the kids I have a hard time dealing with. Sorry for shocking you. That's exactly what I said. A lot of episodes are vulgar and maybe excessive, but they usually do have a kind of ironic moral or theme. The show's intended audience might get that irony, but the 12-year olds will not. My heart is broken by the terrible loss I have sustained in my old friends and companions and my poor soldiers.

Nadril Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Barihawk, using the excuse kids will watch it anyways is the single handedly stupidest excuse ever. It's called parrenting -- learn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warri0r45 Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 And I wonder why kids are cursing more and more earlier and earlier. I'm a teacher, and it saddens me to see children acting like the Southpark show. You know it kind of annoys me that people will be quick to jump all over an 'offensive' show when the standard mode of parenting these days is to feed kids a diet of 8 hours of TV a day. Blame the parents, not the device they shove thier kids in front of. South Park rocks \ . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barihawk Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 Barihawk, using the excuse kids will watch it anyways is the single handedly stupidest excuse ever. It's called parrenting -- learn it. I know parents who set up the chip or satellite but their kids go over to friend's houses to watch it. While certainly I will make sure offensive junk like that won't be shown to my kids in my house, and even in chaperoned houses, they will still be able to find someplace to watch it. Yes, parents are guilty for some kid's shortcomings. But parents can't be everywhere at once. And while I don't have kids, I will probably raise them on limited TV time like my parents did to me.

Also, if you actualy watched some of the episodes they generaly have a moral at the end (even if a bit ironic). Hell, the episode where jesus boxed satan even showed that everyone lost out because they did not have faith in jesus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the only people that would understand them are the TV-MA crowd. Younger kids are not going to get the morals, they are just going to laugh at the potty humor and think it's cool to swear.

misterxman Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I like the older episodes more, when Cartman was just an annoying kid that'd complain about everything. Now they just make him too serious and impersonate him too much into other character types just to convey messages. I'd say my favorite episode is where Cartman gets his revenge on that kid by making him eat his parents. Chinpokomon, global warming were funny ones too tho. But yeah, in one of the few countries in the world that allows this kind of comedy to be shown, it should be the parents job to limit what they don't want their kids to watch. What's great about the US and other countries like it is that people can show almost anything, and people have the choice to watch it or not. If the parents raised their child well, the child can watch such shows and still grow up to be a good person. Pixel sigs by me.Pixel Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uldric Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 The rain forest episode has got to be one of my favourites. Getting gay with kids and stuff. :P That and the succubus episode. About $3.50. I'd prefer to watch South Park over most other animated shows because there's usually a point to it. People buying hybrid cars thinking they're so much better then everyone and making it funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crimsonking Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 1. Do you like South Park? Yes! 2. What are your favorite South Park episode(s)? I would have to say the one with the underwear gnomes that deals with big business crushing smaller ones(I don't know which one it is and I'm too lazy to look it up). 3. Do you think South Park's gone too far? Of course it has, but what, in this day in age, hasn't? ~^v^~Ex-Leader of the Divine Flames of Redemption~^v^~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
