I see a people blah blah blahing about southpark making some kid commit suicide... It wasn't southparks fault. The kid had some kinda emotional problems. He might have *got* the idea from southpark but if southpark never existed any other tv show in the world could have been blamed. As they said on sp you shouldn't rely of tv as a babysitter for your kid. I am 12 years old and people wouldn't do this. I watch southpark whenever it is on re-runs and all and there is no way that I would kill myself. I am homeschooled, fat, ugly, a geek, hated by people but I never even remotely think of killing myself because I know it is the easy way out. No now Comedy Central will probably get sued and SP will be gone all because a kid said to himself "why don't I go blame tv shows on stuff and kill myself". I don't mean to be rude but kids killing other kids and killing themselves is insane and to drag a TV show into this is utterly absurd. It isn't the the TV if the parents had took the kid to see somebody then he would be fine.
Southpark didn't make him commit suicide
the blame should be on the parents not southpark it is obvious this boy had problems long before southpark came along lets put the blame in the right place here this is the parents covering up their own guilt ....
amen to this post!!
i am so sick and tired of people blaming everyone else for their probs....
"the devil made me do it!" "south park made me do it!" "the gun made me do it!"
place blame where blame is due...millions watch southpark week after week and never kill themselves or anyone else.

Blaming the parents is equally wrong. We don't know anything about this kid. We don't know what problems he had, whether or not his parents were aware, or whether or not he was receiving any kind of help.
People do not kill themselves because of external problems in their lives, because of their parents, because of TV shows or songs, or for any of the other reasons people assume. People kill themselves because of internal conflict for which they can find no resolution. Sometimes there are warning signs -- sometimes there aren't.
If you've never felt despair, then there is no way that you can understand someone who comes to the point at which they are willing to take their own life. People want to understand, so they look for a scapegoat -- something to blame. TV shows, music, friends (or lack thereof), boy/girl friends (or lack thereof), and parents are convenient excuses. They aren't reasons.
Anyway, off my soap box...
i dunno I felt pretty sure i was gonna kill my self when sonny&cher was canceled

A child who commits suicide and gives his reasons for doing so as being based upon Southpark does have relevance in this ng. It may or may not affect the format of the show in a negative manner. Beyond that, the kid's suicide is a tragedy in that he gave up on living probably long before he saw Southpark as a reason. Using a TV show, especially a show that pokes fun at life such as Southpark, to convince yourself that you should take your own life, is not the way for a kid to exit existence. As to how a child even comes up with suicide as an answer to troubling thoughts is probably something his parents should have done something about. He needed help. He either didn't receive any or didn't accept what was given to him, and he used SP as his excuse (which probably had nothing to do with his emotional state) for suicide.
I'm sure, unlike your comments below, others feel differently, and with better grammar to stade those differences.
Luxor, have you NO sympathy for another human being. Sure I'm mad that South
Park is getting blamed, but this poor kid was likely very sad and lonely
inside. Perhaps you're one of those creul bullies that beat up other kids, or
made fun of those whom you could'nt understand. Can you possibly imagine how
bad he must have felt, to take his own life? For heavens sake, at least show a
LITTLE heart. If someone came in here and was to see you being so utterly
inhumane , they'd probably assume that all South Park watchers are that way,
and that wouldn't help much for our cause, to keep the program on the air. You
can SPAM me until the mutant turkeys come home, I just don't think you should
be such a total jerk.

aw, go play with MutantBoy, you little trollkin.
Susan, it's sad to hear you think of yourself that way........ I'm sure others don't view you as "fat, ugly, a geek, hated by people"........ Please hold yourself in higher regard than that. If people do see you as a geek, it just means they are uncomfortable with themselves too...... If you are "hated by people", it's only because they can see the beauty that you have in your soul and that they lack....it's just jealousy........ For a 12 year old....you are wise beyond your years. There are many intelligent people out there in the world, and a few who have no common sense. I hope that if "peer pressure" or any other pressure gets to be too overwhelming for you, that you will talk to someone......a parent (best choice) or a friend. Remember your own statement.....suicide is the cowards' way out. (This is for everyone else in the NG) Now, there seem to be alot of opinionated people in this NG........opinions are good, trying to change someone's opinion because you don't agree with it is bad. If everyone had the same opinion, this world would be pretty damn boring! It amazes me how livid some people get because their opinion is different than someone elses. They feel that they MUST confront and flame the "offender" or else they will cease to exist. This is tiresome. It accomplishes nothing. (Except showing how much free time and little intelligence someone has) The kid died. It's a tragedy. It's over. Millions of kids kill themselves every day....... A frightening fact of life. But noone talks about them because they didn't leave a note mentioning your favorite cartoon show. Grow up. This is the Internet. You don't own it. I don't own it. Noone "owns" it. And neither of us can set rules. But let's at least attempt to be civil. There's already enough hatred in the real world, do we need to ruin CyberSpace too?
