Lots of cultural commentators have been saying that S11 WTC marked the end of irony in US mainstream culture. In which case this is probably the last South Park series.

Shame. It was the funniest thing America ever sent across the Atlantic (well funniest intentionally anyway).

Irony was down for a month. It's coming back, though. And South Park will continue for two more years after this one, at least. I don't know if it will address the 9/11 attacks, but I'm sure there'll be stuff on bin Laden. :D

That's what the Senate is debating right now.

Well not the actual end of irony, but the end of being allowed to laugh at it in the mainstream media. When your President calls someone 'the Evil One' on TV with a straight face, you know you're in trouble

It reminded me of that line in Orgazmo:

"Farewell, evildoers!"
