CALL FOR SOUTHPARK BAN

ANGRY parent groups have called for the controversial cartoon series, South Park to be pulled off air.

The show, featuring four foul-mouthed thrid-graders called Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman, has become SBS's highest rating program, attracting a huge teenage following.

But one psychologist has warned parents the program, which deals with topics including necrophilia, bestiality and drug use, could lead to youth depression and they should supervise and debrief teenagers watching the show.

However, Salt-shakers (sic) family values group sokesman Peter Stokes reserved his strongest blast for parents who he said had no idea of what children were watching on TV and were "too weak" to say no.

+++the article was accompanied by a terrible cariacuture labelled STAN..++++ This Sunday paper is considered the premier read for this part of Australia on a Sunday. It has a statewide distribution with some 1.5 million readers. Queenslands history shows a quick reaction to issues such as these, with bans being quite commonplace in it's history of "free expression". I am sure the paper would appreciate some feedback. I am also sure the Aussie fans would be 'pissed orf' if a ban was put in place.

I'm all for parents watching TV with their children, but where are they getting those theme allusions? Except for Stan's grandpa's lying tease to Cartman about humping his dead grandmother, I don't remember anything that even hinted at necrophilia. Does anyone here? Nor bestiality for that matter. (Animals having sex, even gay dogs or elephants screwing pigs, is *not* bestiality -- bestiality means sex between a human and an animal.) Did this guy just pick up the wrong packet of buzzphrases? He seems to have totally missed the targets most commonly used to alarm the (so-called) family-values freaks -- i.e., homosexuality, vampirism, promiscuity, trivialization of religious figures, etc.). What is this, the new kinder-gentler-stupider fundies??

Hell, that follows immediately from what Stan (?) said after the wasted phonecall to his parents, who were too caught up in their protesting frenzy to think about the kids they were supposedly so concerned for. Parents who want to restrict what their kids watch *have* that right. Parents who want to force *all* television to conform to their ideas of what's appropriate -- usually so that they don't have to put forth the effort to get involved in their kids' lives -- are fucked in the head and IMHO should never have reproduced. Huff puff pant pant pant fume fume just my 2 pesetas.

Please let us know if any worthwhile responses are published, eh?

What about the Chicken F[beep]er episode?

I totally f[beep]ing agree.

Oh, right. Must've blocked that one out -- maybe because chickenbleeper looked a lot like a roommate I once had.... And I suppose it's not cool to justify it because there was a moral about literacy either. Ecch.

I guess he's referring to the "Elephant Makes Love To A Pig" episode ... in order for the pig to look like Mr. Garrison, he'd have to be the father.

Rabbit

Well, I remember the Chicken F****r had bestiality. Maybe that was the one he was refering to.

Chickenfucker.

Yes, but in the ep where the elephant makes sweer love to the pig, the offspring looks like Mr Garrison, implying he had sex with an animal. That's where bestiality is hinted at.

No, it's brutally obvious in the Chicken Fucker ep. -me

Okay, there's a few new episodes that haven't aired here yet ... but I don't remember any show dealing with necrophilia. Were there any, or is this just another right-wing ploy to sway the masses?

You Suck. SOuthPark Rules

More of these people who think that they are so much better than anyone else that it's their right - no, their duty - to tell everyone else what they can or can't watch. If they don't like South Park, they don't have to watch it. If they don't want their children watching it, then they shouldn't let them. But everybody else should be allowed to decide for themselves whether to watch it or not. There's no reason to take it off the air.

i should revoke their right to breathe and se how they like having other opinions forced on them. I mean what if i decided they needed to be killed and so i took my .44 and ventalated them. who would protest for them then?

reminds me of the poem the hanging tree.

just want to blow them away kill them hurt them burn them rage rage rage rage.......

Bravo and bully to Peter Stokes!!! Finally, someone with some actual *sense* about parents paying attention to what their kids are watching, instead of just calling for an outright ban of the program!!!

Geez, people, pay some attention to what your kids are doing instead of expecting the government to do it for you!

I need to shit...

How enlightening.

WHY DON'T THE DUMB ASSES CHANGE THE FRICKIN CHANNEL IF THEY CAN'T HANG WITH THE SHOW??? it's not that difficult or are they just to lazy like couch potatoes?????? I mean how hard is it to get off of their lazy asses and go over to the TV and say um, gee what does this do it looks like a power button, OR better yet... find that big thing that looks kind of like a video game but it's got a lot of buttons on it usually a lot of numbers and there's an on and off button on it and there's some other buttons on there... BUT before you push them make sure you have it aimed at the TV so it works and before you do that make sure that you got batteries in the back of the remote... gotta make sure that you took them out of your vibrator from the night before ya know....

hope this helps.. I'm tired of this frickin bull shit of all this assholes sayin that SP is this bad show ... if ya don't like the show...... CHANGE THE DAMN CHANNEL.... STOP FUCKIN WATCHIN IT AND LEAVE THE FUCKIN NEWS GROUP WE DON'T WANT YOUR ASS HERE SO GET IT THROUGH YOUR FRICKIN HEAD NOW........

THANK YOU.... LADYRAVEN HAS LEFT THE BUILDING
