Trey Parker and Matt Stone can't seem to keep themselves out of trouble. Paramount is now upset over the footage from their season premiere this past week of Steven Spielberg and George Lucas violently raping Indiana Jones.
For those who don't keep track, Viacom owns South Park. Viacom also owns Paramount which produces the Indiana Jones movies. See the problem?
I think Viacom needs to grow a sense of humor. It's South Park, people! There is not a sacred cow they will not slaughter. If they haven't gotten to any particularly sacred cow yet, give them more time.
Having seen the episode, I thought it was funny. The rape scenes in question are also homages to movies such as Deliverance and The Accused. Actually, South Park hasn't been the target of mainstream controversy since "The Return of Chef". This might be good publicity for them.
In a previous episode, they had the Woodland Critters raping Popeye. How come nobody at Viacom complained about that one? I certainly found it disturbing.
