South Park: Parker and Stone just don't care anymore


The equal-opportunity offenders finally cave in. Liberals have won at last. As simply as that. If Trey Parker and Matt Stone drew a lot of controversy with the "200" and "201" episodes, it was because they wanted to show they still got it. They have just simply become too lazy after 15 years, and yes, gazillions of dollars to care still about consistency with their award-winning, long-running cartoon sitcom juggernaut "South Park".

Let me explain myself: In a cartoon in which one of the main characters, Kenny, have experienced death no less than 54 times, there was still a spirit of order, besides pissing off every single group of interest, from sexual minorities to disabled persons al the way up to Democrats and Republicans, Liberals and Conservatives: "I hate conservatives, but I f&%$ hate liberals", that was their meme.

It has been so many strikes since then, let's review some of them:
1. Margaritaville, Season 13 Ep. 3: the solution to the Great Recession is spending your way out of it with Keynes... er, Kyle's platinum card. Really? I have some dot-com stocks I want to sell you, Matt and Trey.

2. Dances With Smurfs, Season 13 Ep. 13: They don't have to watch what Glenn Beck says on TV (well, not anymore), but they used as material only what Beck's enemies had to offer. Not to mention the unfair treatment of the TEA Party, that shares more values of the original series than any other movement. It looks like Parker and Stone were suspiciously jealous of Beck and the TEA Party stealing from them their irreverent style...

3. "T.M.I.", Season 15 Ep. 4: again, cheap shots are expected, but this... Hey! maybe they were finally co-opted by the Hollywood Liberal Machine!

4. "Insheeption", Season 14 Ep. 10: Somehow, the creators of South Park got away with plagiarism... er, lifting entire lines from a parody of "Inception" by CollegeHumor. They didn't even bother to download the movie! Talk to me about laziness!

And last not least, "You're Getting Old", midseason's finale. It looks like the creators of South Park don't want to be seen together anymore, and that things can work out between a normal, well-adjusted guy that happens to be a Jew, and a sociopathic bigot. Maybe in South Park's finale Cartman and Kyle will grow old enough to get married!


It would make enough sense as anything else in that surreal universe...

Still sick - but fighting!



As I told you before, I'm pretty sick these days. Broncopneumonia, and the doctors scared me to death. They warned me a lot, telling me I should rest a lot and take a gazillion medicines. Well, even today I'm not feeling strong enough to resume my normal activities, and, if I take the doctors' advice seriously, it would be unwise to even try now, too.

It's been a period on time when I found with great disappointment that the American Healthcare Reform is still alive and well (they should ask ME how I get my medical attention through this rotten system - as I told someone before, I'm always on the verge of taking legal action against my medical company to get some healthcare - pretty darn funny, huh?), and found great pageant activity lately, both in North and South America. Sorry, but that activity has been soaked with lethal doses of stupidity.

Gone is the goodwill and simpathy I had for Carrie Prejean. Look, she's a celebrity wannabe, and she (and her manager, whoever-might-be) doesn't know how to deal with a scandal, or the press, or a soft interview! She attempted to leave the interview she had with Larry King. Larry King! She is selling a book, too. The photo of the cover makes her look like a martyr, something apparently she likes to be. If she wants a career, she should know better.


Diana María Salgado shamelessly abused the Colombian Constitution so she could travel to Cartagena and do the National Pageant! Puh-leeze! And I'll never forget the judge. He deserves punishment, too.

In the neighborhood, a country is sinking rapidly in a hole of blackouts and water rationings. A country soaked in oil, but it has to import energy from countries with less energy potential! The simple solution: a call for war against the neighbors!

This week, South Park simply S-U-C-K-E-D. If you've been watching the show for years, you should know a couple of things about its creators. Its ideology is far from liberal. They aren't conservatives, either. They are somewhat libertarian. But "Dances With Smurfs" is plain laziness. You even laugh watching the episode. You know they like to shock, and more than once they prefer to be funny instead of being fair. This time is the former, beacause they mocked the legitimate concerns of a popular movement. They are not helping anybody but the people that spent the entire summer trivialising and mocking the movement while burning trillions of dollars in yet-to-be-seen stimulus.

Oh, and Britney Spears Twitter account has been hacked.
