Default I remember!

Do you find it somewhat ironic that the only broadcast network
shows that you mentioned are Fox Network shows?


No, that's where the balance is in "Fair and Balanced". Lord knows
all Blue Staters who don't love war are pantywaists if you watch the
news coverage. Besides, "South Park" is an unabashedly right of
center show. In the second "South Park" movie they kill off Tim
Robbins and Alex Baldwin gleefully after making fools of them.


There is no second South Park movie. You're thinking of Team America, an
attack on America's smug sense of self-righteousness and exclusionary
philosophy, a decidedly left-of-center view. Their attempt to balance this
by making the Hollywood left look foolish (in the context of tearing down
our favorite Korean leader) is highly strained, to say the least.

I'm not sure South Park is as "right of center" as you think. It seems to be
more interested in attacking what the creators see as "stupidity" or
self-serving behavior, rather than left-of-center views, per se. It's also
worth noting that South Park is also unabashedly pro-gay.


When the people of South Park decide to all drive hybrids they create
a cloud of toxic "smug" (sic) gas and end up smashing them all.


A recent survey revealed that most hybrid owners bought the cars because
they're trendy. South Park guessed correctly.
