I posted this article in an AOL newsgroup, and I think it has obvious relevance here:
SOUTH PARK'S SUCCESS:
I think the reason people don't like it anymore is because it's not "the thing" anymore. All people follow are stupid trends. I am a huge fan of the show (an intelligent one, mind you) and I think the only real reason why the last couple of episodes haven't been gems is because...well, it's obvious! They've been working frantically on this movie! I am sticking with the show and I don't care what people say, because I love South Park. I believe the movie will revive the show's success.
ON ANOTHER NOTE:
Most parents aren't knowledgable or aware enough about South Park to even voice a good opinion about the show, let alone blame it for anything. The show is NOT aimed at children and it never was. If you don't believe me, I can tell you that the movie has officially been given an R rating, and from what I've read about what's actually in the movie, it is clearly not for children and not aimed at children. I don't think a kid would understand anal sex all too well.
RELEASE DATE: June 30
