Killian Kalthorne Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 Muslims need a thicker skin. Nothing is sacred enough to kill people over. Nothing. "Your Job is not to die for your country, but set a man on fire, and take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."
I want teh kotor 3 Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 South Park is brilliant satire peppered with enough potty humor to make it accessible to everyone. They also don't give a crap who they offend as long as they get their point across. Which I applaud. This. Muslims need a thicker skin. Nothing is sacred enough to kill people over. Nothing. And this. In 7th grade, I teach the students how Chuck Norris took down the Roman Empire, so it is good that you are starting early on this curriculum. R.I.P.

Killian Kalthorne Posted April 21, 2010 Posted April 21, 2010 To be honest I am not a particular fan of South Park, but I did go see the movie and it is the only "musical" I have ever been able to stand to watch til the end. "Your Job is not to die for your country, but set a man on fire, and take great comfort in the general hostility and unfairness of the universe."
Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 South Park is brilliant satire... No. A Modest Proposal is, quote, "brilliant satire" and South Park is nowhere as good. "Geez. It's like we lost some sort of bet and ended up saddled with a bunch of terrible new posters on this forum." -Hurlshot
Krookie Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) South Park is brilliant satire... No. A Modest Proposal is, quote, "brilliant satire" and South Park is nowhere as good. No. That's just lame. South Park is hysterical. also, for what it's worth - satire/parody are often most effective when they poke fun at modern day problems/issues. south park does this perfectly.

I'm not either, but that is entirely irrelevant. The creators did nothing whatsoever worthy of reproach. This is yet another classic example of the Muslim community going bat**** crazy over absolutely nothing.

I guess you missed that A Modest Proposal was written in 1729 by Johnathan Swift and dealt with what was then a "modern day problem" (the situation faced by the Irish poor). But, yeah, I still say that Swift is better than South Park and while you're free to disagree with me I cannot think of why you would call AMP "lame."

Are you really thick enough to take everything literally? Considering he has condoned mass murder before, it is not a stretch to believe that he would not mind the murders of these two. You're thick. What he said is equivalent to saying "I wish someone would murder the creators of Scary Movie." Actually, come to think of it, I don't think I would mind that too much.

Volourn Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 " Nothing is sacred enough to kill people over. Nothing. " Disagree. Someone threatening my family most certainly are.

It's perfectly acceptable to you to murder people that you disagree with or you dislike soemthing they do ala making movies you hate? come on now.

Um..No, I didn't miss that it was written in 1729. In fact, that's the very reason I said that the best satire deals with modern day issues. "AMP" is outdated, and therefore, lame.
Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 22, 2010 Posted April 22, 2010 (edited) "AMP" is outdated, and therefore, lame. I would disagree, it might be outdated, as far as issues go, but it is not at all "lame" - it remains a classic satire. The age of the work really doesn't directly effect the quality.

This is why people watch South Park instead of reading AMP.

This is why people watch South Park instead of reading AMP. Doesn't change the fact that AMP is much more skillfully crafted satire than South Park, with a more poignant political message. South Park is about as dumbed-down as satire gets.
