Seriously people need to chill out

There are no fewer than 5 posts about how South Park is a RW show. People, really chill the fuck out. It is a bunch of foul mouthed little kids made out of construction paper.

1. It's a political board. SP devoted an episode to trashing a major Dem

figure, at a time when the shrub has been ruining the country for several years.

Such a reaction is to be expected, and, I think, welcomed.

3. I don't think their handling of him was comprehensive enough to...

qualify as a trashing. Unless "Al Gore has no friends" is what you consider trashing. When I first heard Gore talking about Pig-bear-man (or whatever it's called) I thought, "Al Gore going raising a ruckus about some kind of fake threat. Oh shit, are the South Park people going to use this as some kind of attack on environmentalism?" I thought they would be lampooning Gore as a way of representing the frequent RW belief that global warming is not true. But rather than go anywhere, they were happy to just use him as a one dimensional loser.

2. I agree.
