Oh. Well I didn't read.

And I'd prefer Galley. I like being a ship.

Bitch please, my name is cutesy. You'd just be a ship.

Besides, I've got mother fucking TARDIS.

Sometimes, I hate South Park...

...other times, they nail it.

Why? The show is fantastic, awesome and pure in every single way. Yay.

It's just...sometimes I feel they make a very obscene strawman out of some ideologies.
Their socio-political criticism is mostly perfect...but sometimes I feel they try to be a bit too edgy, giving the finger to both sides of the socio-political spectrum, regardless of the validity of the arguments coming from both sides.

[Individuality-ness]

Cool. Hi Galley.

Hi Indi

Nice to meet you.

[Menassa]

Now that I suppose we're done arguing... what's that symbol in the title?

Is Greater than 3 some sort of sign?

Hi Indi

Nice to meet you.

And the same to you ^-^

I dunno, I think good satire tends to mock both the left and the right for their excesses and frankly, stupidity. I don't know if it's as much about being "edgy" as it is about teasing what they think deserves to be teased.

Mind you...I still love them 80-90% of the times.
I particularly loved Margaritaville.

Galatians 3:24

I suppose, but for the most part I was interested in how to sway states where public opinion is either mixed or primarily opposed. I mean, a sizable portion of the US (22 states) still seems to have support data beneath majority support:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_opi ... s#By_state

And then there's the problem of amended state constitutions. There are 30 of them, so it's a fairly serious problem. Should efforts be aimed at changing public opinion, or challenging the legal basis of the amendments? Where is energy best spent?

Well I am a time-traveling Deinonychosaurid. So I think we would be better off teaming up and fighting crime or something.

Unless you need a new arch-rival. You must be lonely now that the Master is gone and the Daleks have humpbacks.

Master? Gone? No, he's in the Time war. He'll be back, I'm certain of it. He always comes back.

Changing public opinion, the people will then go to the State.

Oh yeah, the whole "debt" bit with Kyle and parallels to Christ. All great stuff haha.

I actually liked the F-word one, as well as the one that satirized Glenn Beck.

[Orham]

Throw glitter at them?

Yes. Fly crop dusters loaded down with glitter over South Carolina and cover the area in a shimmering mist. That oughta change public opinion. Probably not in the way LGBT supporters would prefer, though...

You know, I don't care for your negative nancying. Ok? I was trying to offer a cereal solution to a cereal problem.

Just watch it at South Park studios.

That is a tall order, but I think it can be managed. Support in a lot of those states may not be a majority, but it's not really absent. There's a chance. And with my not being a lawyer, I don't actually know whether those amendments could be successfully challenged.

They're almost all online on their website, save "Super Best Friends", something mocking Scientology (not the Tom Cruise one), and episodes 200 and 201.

Is 200 and 201 the Mohammed one?

If you're asking about the one where all of the celebrities are trying to get Mohammed "goo" so that they couldn't be criticized, yes.

Well, the problem isn't the shimmering mist. It's the absence of an adorable animal mascot. Say, a squirrel in a leather aviation helmet?

The Government is at the will of the people no?
