A self-proclaimed television "watchdog" group just released its list of unacceptable television shows and South Park was in first place for being the most offensive show on TV.
South Park wins!

Neat. Maybe it can win another award for the show with the fewest new episodes and the most reruns.
Who were these buttmunchers anyway? "Fuckus on Family"? "Family Besmirch Council"? "Beagle Forum"?
Someone was just talking about Bob and Margaret on live journal the other day. I loved this show. I wish they could of made more episodes.
I wish comedy central would bring back the old Dr. Katz's also. I'd record every episode of both. *~Anita*~ http://vanceypants.pitas.com/ I would like to see a cartoon called "The Adventures of That Guy On the Quaker Oats Box" -someone off of the message boards on yesterdayland.com
I'd hardly consider South Park offensive now.

Me neither. 1. We're used to much more offensive stuff now than before 2. There's not much out there offensive enough to make people forget about prior offensive stuff - you've seen one offensive thing, you've seen them all.

"Scott Tenorman Must Die" certainly seemed to get under the skin of even hardcore SP fans.

I agree. While I think "Scott..." is a pretty good episode... the ending makes my skin *crawl*. Brrrrrr... x.x

I don't think the word for that is "offended".

Do you read the South Park Digest? It seems to have a great many very young subscribers, and most of them seemed to be offended, traumatized, or both by that episode ... as if SP had previously been nothing but warm'n'cuddly.

How young?
12, 13, 14, 15 ... that young. Which is why I don't submit anything there.

Yeah, I'd say that younger than around 15 or 16 is too young for this show.
Wussies. Don't let them get near Shakespeare. "Why, there they are both, baked in that pie, whereof their mother daintily hath fed, eating the flesh that she herself hath bred. 'Tis true, 'tis true, witness my knife's sharp point." "Die, frantic wretch, for this accursed deed!" [Yeah, that's what was missing -- Scott Tenorman killing Cartman.]
hah, we don't have to worry about the yoots of today getting their sex and violence from Shakespeare!!!

How young are you talking about, and what the hell are they doing watching South park in the first place?
I don't know how old they are exactly; from the writing I'd guess early- to mid-teens. They do seem to have a genuine love for the show and I suspect it does them more good than harm.

It seems a bit late to be up on a school night, though...
