First by ECUPirate71	Apr 2nd, 2008 10:53:36 AM
Fuck Canada!
Just Kidding by ECUPirate71	Apr 2nd, 2008 10:54:44 AM
I love our neighbors to the North. I was cheesing when I posted the last time.
about time by palooka_boy	Apr 2nd, 2008 10:54:56 AM
these guys commented on the WGA strike. but I doubt it toes the liberal line on it.
last week's was mediocre by ShiftyEyedDog2	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:01:07 AM
...of course, i never cared for "Heavy Metal", so I didn't think i'd like that episode much. and why does he keep saying Britney "shoots her HAIR off"? it was the entire top half of her head - brain, eyes, everything...
They missed the first Terrance and Philip milestone by I Dunno	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:02:18 AM
anniversary by one day. It was the one where we were supposed to find out who Cartman's father was but they ran a T&P episode instead. They got death threats over that. I think that was like 30 years ago.
it's not even a real country anyway by logicalnoise01	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:08:45 AM
BLAME CANADA BLAME CANADA for their little beady eyes...
So what is this episode by skimn	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:11:07 AM
aboot?...what..what's so funny?
go Matt and Trey by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:16:59 AM
...I hope you make those selfish writers hate themselves for ruinin my TV season...I just hope in the end, theyre not on their side...wit that said, I actually would like to live in Canadia after Micheal Moore told me how easy it would be for me to rob those Canucks... ...GO TEAM CANADIA!...
which side by palooka_boy	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:32:00 AM
I'd assume they'll fall somewhere in the middle. Something like they have a legit argument, but ultimately it was the customer that got screwed.
The season has been by Nuck81	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:32:51 AM
disappointing at best, to say the very least
This might actually be good. by Kid Idioteque	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:33:34 AM
They need a classic episode right about now.

Weird Editing And Pace by Frodo T. Baggins	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:43:51 AM
This season seems not to be flowing quite right. Heavymetaland did but the first 2 didnt. Almost like they hired a new editor or something I cant put my finger on. Has anyone else noticed that?
South Park has been dropping the ball lately. by Ol' Gravy Leg	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:43:52 AM

Major Boobage = major laughs by Ninja Nerd	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:44:11 AM
I thought the whole episode was brilliant. "Reefer Madness" and "High School Confidential" have been on cable recently, so I was able to appreciate the "banning of cats" more, I guess. SP doesn't always work for me, but Major Boobage did.
ShiftyEyedDog2: Why... by mbeemer	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:46:47 AM
"and why does he keep saying Britney "shoots her HAIR off"? it was the entire top half of her head - brain, eyes, everything..." Well... it's not like she was using that stuff anyway...
Frodo, abosolutely. by Ol' Gravy Leg	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:47:00 AM
It seems like they've got too much dead weight on the creative team or something. Lazy writing, for one thing. The AIDS episode for example could have been a classic, but instead it was thoroughly mediocre.
You People are idiots by GravitaZ	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:47:07 AM
This season has been great. The last episode was the bes SP in a long time.
Good season so far. by JKrow21	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:52:10 AM
Fuck ya'll.
yeah you people are idiots by Zoinks	Apr 2nd, 2008 11:58:45 AM
The show's as good as ever. What, you want more poop, right?
Ol' Gravy by Frodo T. Baggins	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:00:06 PM
Exactly. The AIDS episode. Were Cartman finally gets his just deserts and Kyle has a field day was just...could have been a classic. I really didnt laugh all that much. Yet at the beggining I was expecting something far greater. The set up for a revenge on Cartman episode was long over due but it didnt really do it for me. Its the only show on tv that can really make me laugh so I will never dog on it. But never the less, something was off. I feel like they lost their chance with that episode.
The Homeless = Zombies by Frodo T. Baggins	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:05:25 PM
That episode. I dont know how I ever missed seasons ago. I saw it recently and MAN. That may be my favorite since the Micheal Jackson ep or the Mormon one. That episode was hiiiiillarious. Cant beleive that got by my radar for so long. & lets not forget the Hair Lice episode. "Kelly...Can Ya Hear Me? I Dont Know. If Ya Can...Kelly!"
2008 Peabody Award winners announced... by Pennsy	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:06:01 PM
Dexter, Planet Earth, Mad Men, 30 Rock...and PROJECT MOTHERFUCKING RUNWAY?????? WHAT THE LIVING FUCK? http://tinyurl.com/2tp33y Yeah, guys, why not award a Peabody to The Hills next year? IMO, reality shows should be disqualified from consideration simply because they are reality shows. This blows like nothing has ever blown before. Worse than a double bill of Pluto Nash and Norbit at your local dollar movie theater. Jeezus Christ.

Heavy Metal by shodan6672	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:07:56 PM
If you don't like Heavy Metal I cant imagine why you would have any reason to post here...
Pennsy by shodan6672	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:09:36 PM
At least it wasnt America's Next Top Model. I want to take a hammer to the whole fucking cast.
somebody explain how by Zoinks	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:11:13 PM
the AIDS episode could've been a "classic." C'mon geniuses. What was missing?
re: zoinks by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:17:29 PM
...jokes...the aids ep was missin jokes...I laughed when I heard Cartman had aids, the laughed at HIV+ parts, but thats it...it felt like a drama movie wit 2 bits of comedy in it instead of a comedy show wit comedy in it...
Yeah! by The Chalk Outline	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:19:38 PM
Another Canada episode, sweet!!
The AIDS episode was good, but I agree... by The Chalk Outline	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:21:44 PM
...could have been better. It didn't have the big payoff like the Scott Tenorman episode.
Zoinks by Ol' Gravy Leg	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:24:54 PM
I felt that it was not nearly as tight as it could have been. Like Frodo said, it was a missed opportunity. There were so many little things they could have done to make it really work too. One thing I kept thinking was that the "Are you HIV positive?" line would have been so much funnier if they'd been just a bit subtler with it and and only said "Are you positive?".
Are you HIV positive? by Mysterious Yobo	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:26:12 PM

Well... by Zoinks	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:32:21 PM
if you guys wanna be so HIV negative all the time I guess it could've been more subtle and less SouthParkish.
Oh, and fuck off. by Ol' Gravy Leg	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:33:41 PM
South Park has been the most consistently funny and ground breaking comedy show for the last ten years. I grew up with it and I hold it to the same high esteem that many people hold the Simpsons. It's only because I love it so much and have such immense respect for the creators that I feel I know when it's not up to it's own standards. I'll never dismiss South Park as having "Jumped the Shark" or some stupid shit like that just because I haven't enjoyed the latest season as much as I did the last. I'm not going to stop watching any time soon, I don't want more fucking poop jokes, I just want to see the guys get back on the ball because I know exactly how good they can be and we only get seven episodes at a clip.
People from Denmark by ElPaw	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:33:41 PM
Will the Danish Cartoons be involved? They already did that with Cartoon Wars.
Zoinks by Ol' Gravy Leg	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:40:26 PM
Please, dude. Cartman injecting AIDS infected blood into Kyle's mouth while he was sleeping was classic fucking South Park. Did that need to be more subtle? Fuck no. But some of the jokes could have been much funnier if the writers had just put a little more thought into their execution. The episode fell apart in the second half, in my opinion. And fuck you if you think people don't have the right to occasionally criticize something they love.
Project Runway - the first reality show to win a Peabody. by Pennsy	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:47:42 PM
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to puke.
I'm just saying by Zoinks	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:48:26 PM
don't be so HIV negative, man. I guess you have pretty high standards for South Park. I like the show too and I would like to know which episodes are classic so I can see what you people are talking about. Seriously, I'm not trying to shit on your parade dudes. Ok, maybe a little. poop.
Oh and you can't jump by Zoinks	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:52:57 PM
the shark when your show is all about shark jumping and then taking a dump on the shark.
More Potential by Frodo T. Baggins	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:52:57 PM
We know what Trey and Matt can do. The AIDS episode missed alot of funny. Some scenes like Cartmans mom crying at the hospital lasted like 2 or 3 seconds too long. She didnt want him when he was a Ginger. But now that he has AIDS shes supportive? Thats funny. Hey dont get me wrong. Cartoons are not suppose to be consistant. Especially this one. Some scenes just driffted. Of all the shows on that week. I still would watch that again. Cause its the characters I love in a new situation. Which is why Iam one of the few that love sequals. But it was so dry that is almost seemed intentional what they were doing. And that was the season opener? Almost as weird as the season closer of that Hockey Episode with the kid with cancer.
Why would Canadians strike? by fiester	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:54:50 PM
Isn't their dollar worth more than the US dollar at this point?
Canandians = Writers Strike? by Frodo T. Baggins	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:58:19 PM
Is that what they are spoofing? That would be funny. Even more so if they talked about the new SAG strike. I hope they stick to it in this episode unlike that not in place Spitzer appology about cat piss. They could have done a whole episode on just Spitzer.
Fuck Canada. by Ol' Gravy Leg	Apr 2nd, 2008 12:59:47 PM
It's not even a real country anyway.
Ol' Gravy Leg by Zoinks	Apr 2nd, 2008 01:05:42 PM
It's fine by me to criticize what you love. I just wanna know what episodes do you or any big fan considers to be a classic. I thought ImaginationLand rocked, but I bet hardcore fans maybe thought it was too something or other.
Oh yeah. Fuck Canada too. by Zoinks	Apr 2nd, 2008 01:07:24 PM
I'm still moving there for the free healthcare though. Thanks Michael Moore for the tip.
The AIDS episode was great by I Dunno	Apr 2nd, 2008 01:36:52 PM
At least it had a point. Rich people don't die from AIDS anymore. They didn't necessarily put out a specific conspiracy theory on it, they just put it out there. It's a crudely drawn cartoon about children swearing that actually had something provocative to say. Whether or not it had the number of belly laughs you wanted is immaterial.
Heavy Metal EP was great by Red Giant	Apr 2nd, 2008 01:45:35 PM
C'mon, if you are old enough to remember the Heavy Metal cartoon/movie and its awesome soundtrack, you must have loved this one. The boob extremism was perfect, and all the little subtle bloody bits was exactly tongue-in-cheek paying homage to the old classic movie. Rent it if you haven't seen it, then maybe you'll "get" this EP more. Of course, if you are young, stupid and listen to that crap they call music nowadays, maybe you didn't get it. Understandable and you have my sympathies. At least I can keep dreaming that Led Zeppelin will play again and I can somehow get tickets to see the greatest band there ever was.
More Heavy Metal soundtrack by Red Giant	Apr 2nd, 2008 01:54:03 PM
I have seen Blue Oyster Cult play Veteran of the Psychic Wars live, and also Cheap Trick play Reach Out And Take It, and Dio/Sabbath play The Mob Rules. Man, that really was an oustanding rock soundtrack, one of the very best all-time.
Heavy Metal episode by Zoinks	Apr 2nd, 2008 01:59:38 PM
was pretty cool. Love the unnecessary violence. I hope the new Heavy Metal movie is even more nutso than ever.
I'd never seen Heavy Metal by sambrook	Apr 2nd, 2008 02:20:44 PM
and I still loved last week's episode. Even if I hadn't known what it was spoofing the extreme nature of it would have worked for the high visions. And the rest of it was funny as hell, The cheesing newscast and tips on how to spot it. Gerald's set-up with the projector. Cartman hiding the cats. The hideous animation of Kenny when high. And "The call it cheesing because it's FON to DUE" - I wouldn't have cared if the whole episode had been built around that pun, it would have been worth it. The other two this season - I wasn't keen on the first one at all. Like poeple have said it started out with great potential but then just didn't work. Cartman injecting the AIDs was just too far nasty (even or someone who fed a kid their own parents - Scott Tennorman deserved that)and it was hard to find anything funny after that considering how much we sympathised with Kyle. The Britney one was good and quite clever once the plot was unveiled but I don't think it will be one to rewatch over and over. And Zoink, if you need to judge my South Park tastes, I loved pretty much all of last season but the last classic, all-out awesome South Park episode I saw was the one where Ike was sleeping with his teacher. Pretty much every line spoken in it was hilarious. Nice. Niiiiice. Niccccccce.
I Dunno by Ol' Gravy Leg	Apr 2nd, 2008 02:26:52 PM
Oh, ok. You got me. You turned me around on this! It's unreasonable of me to expect South Park to be a tightly written and constructed comedy show as well as contain some social commentary... Please. South Park has always been South Park because it manages to be an incredibly well written and plotted show 85% of the time regardless of whatever point they're trying to make with any given episode. I can watch and rewatch almost any episode time and time again and still find something to laugh at. They've managed to actually get better year after year. But that's not so with the most recent episodes. It's lazy writing and it's below them. But I'm confident it'll get better again in the long run, just as long as Matt and Trey can manage to stay interested in producing the same level of quality that the fans loved them for in the first place.
re: SP did jump the shark by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 2nd, 2008 02:28:36 PM
...IMO SP jumped the shark when it actually became a intelligent satire...compare 1st season wit later seasons...2 completely diff shows...this is the only case I will say "somethin" jumped the shark, but in SP defense, it was a jump for the best...I love the Park and I love the Butters..."loo loo, I have apples"...
Besides, Matt and Trey are probably too busy working on their ne by Ol' Gravy Leg	Apr 2nd, 2008 02:30:42 PM
To really give South Park the attention it needs right now. It makes sense that the show isn't on top of it's game at the moment.
Oops. by Ol' Gravy Leg	Apr 2nd, 2008 02:32:05 PM

Something tells me that Moore's depiction of Canada by samsquanch	Apr 2nd, 2008 03:10:09 PM
might not have been perfectly accurate. Especially the guy that said "When we lock our doors, we feel that we're locking ourselves IN." I think all that proves is that every country has douchebags. I can't wait for this episode.
I smirk to myself when i see by Mysterious Yobo	Apr 2nd, 2008 03:18:05 PM

Sorry Zoinks - Canada's closed so fuck off. by Yeti	Apr 2nd, 2008 04:44:48 PM

SP by palooka_boy	Apr 2nd, 2008 05:36:44 PM
Is probably the funniest show on television, barring The Office. It isn't what it was in its prime, but its still funny to watch. The AIDS episode was good, the Britney episode was mediocre, but the Heavy Metal episode was pure hilarity. I agree with the tber upwards who said he'll never stop watching. Even when its got bad episodes, the next one can often restore your confidence in them. I feel like they've strayed a bit, especially last season, from what they do best which is mixing socio-political satire with genre parody, and I think they've strayed from that since the Cartoon Wars episodes, in which they sort of bash themselves by saying sometimes a show gets its head up its own ass with serious commentary.
We need more Heavy Metal homages!! by Mike_D	Apr 2nd, 2008 05:44:16 PM
last weeks was great.
I think SP really loves Canadia by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 2nd, 2008 05:53:57 PM
...I think they actually want America to be more like Canadia...I mean, sure they make offensive jokes aBOOT them, but when u compare their jokes aBOOT Canadia to any other subjects, they actually go easy on them...I just wonder why they make Canadians head diff from everyone else...
Fuck America! by Booji Boy	Apr 2nd, 2008 06:26:36 PM
All you stupid Americans should know that you spell Canada like THAT and not Canadia! Stupid fuckin' Americans... I'd much rather live in Canada then you gun-totin' American assholes! I hope you all kill yourselves!!!!
Oh yeah! by Booji Boy	Apr 2nd, 2008 06:27:52 PM
To all you self-centered American pricks...try sticking your head out of each other's assholes and look around...there's more to this world than American bullshit!
Pennsy, shut up by GrandpaShampoo	Apr 2nd, 2008 06:35:26 PM
Project Runway and Top Chef are the only great reality shows because they are about talent, not about famewhoring. So, you should actually watch the show before you get all high and mighty on it. If they awarded the Peabody to The Apprentice, then I could see your point, but they didn't.

i hope it makes fun of the selfish writers by WolfmanNards	Apr 2nd, 2008 08:30:35 PM
...who went on strike prematurely when they could have either waited for the actors, or continued in negotiation because the people who got fucked over were the crew. Nobody said a thing about crew workers when all of this was going on. But the majority of the production consists of crew members in the technical departments. From make-up to gaffers to PA's. All of these people were out of work, and when they finally got back to work, their paychecks weren't any higher.

Go fuck yourselves. I seem to recall that the crews were the main thing people bitched about here and elsewhere the entire time the strike was on. And you two cunts are still fucking calling the WRITERS selfish? Most of them barely make a living wage and they were getting fucked. They still are, too. What a couple of laughable idiots!

Gravy Leg by richiro33	Apr 2nd, 2008 09:29:14 PM
If the writers don't make enough money then why don't they just get a different job? Then you would see their pay go up. They are treated the same as everyone else. For example, Im pretty sure you bag groceries for a living. If you felt you didn't get paid enough you may work take another job like being the hello guy at wal-mart or writing month old news blogs on Aint it Cool.

Anybody who says South Park has 'Jumped the Shark' is a doucheba by Richard Cranium	Apr 2nd, 2008 09:41:44 PM
In fact, anybody who still uses the phrase 'jump the shark' is a douchebag period. It's 2008, people. Once my 70 year old mother understands what one of these internet references means, it's time to retire it.

Loved it. As much as I wanted to say that Butters doing what what was stupid and maybe played out, it wasn't. It just made me laugh. Also, I find that if you watch the Britney one again -- going into it knowing she's gonna blow her head off -- it plays a lot funnier. Discuss. Or not.

WGA president dancing was classic by The Winged Doucheman	Apr 3rd, 2008 01:44:55 AM
When I saw Tay Zonday I laughed my ass off. He didn't even have to do anything. That expressionless face staring straight ahead was priceless enough. Weird how the Lewis black ep was like a companion to SP tonight with the same viral video references.

Great "fuck you" to a pretentious and pointless writer's strike by TallBoy66	Apr 3rd, 2008 04:45:50 AM
And alot of funny flapping Canadian heads, aboots, and internet guys killing each other. And, I'm Canadian, and I love the Canada episodes, bud-ay! Nobody I know takes it personally, we actually dig 'em, from the movie onwards. We should get one aboot every year, guy, instead of the every 2 or 3 years we have now. But, where was I, oh, yeah, fuck the writer's strike.
Kyle's speech: by TallBoy66	Apr 3rd, 2008 04:58:14 AM
"But, you know, I learned something today: We thought we could make money on the Internet, but while the Internet is new and exciting for creative people, it hasn't matured as a distribution mechanism to the extent that one should trade real and immediate opportunities for income for the promise of future online revenue. It will be a few years before digital distribution of media on the Internet can be monetized to the extend that it necessitates content producers to forgo their fair value and more traditional media." “Yeah.” Translation: writers shouldn't have had a struck over the Internet because nobody can make MON-EH off it, yet. Hence, all the "theoretical dollars" and stupid Internet guys and the striking Canadians getting nothing for all thier trouble, bud-dey.
I saw the words "aspirin writer" and I thought by TimBenzedrine	Apr 3rd, 2008 06:53:57 AM
When I read the words "aspirin writer", I thought he had written "asprin writer" and I immediately envisioned a guy stamping the word "TYLENOL" on hundreds of little capsules.Which might be a good job to fall back on,mr ahole ramirez,if that whole writin thing doesn't work out for you.
Name the videos by Dazzler69	Apr 3rd, 2008 07:13:52 AM
that were on youtube on this ep. I would like to check them out. Some of them did not look familiar. I know Star Wars kid and laughing baby.
Had funny parts but disagree with the message by jccalhoun	Apr 3rd, 2008 08:03:29 AM
I'm still really surprised at how many people on here think it is just great for corporations to make more money off of programming without having to pay for it. I'm really amazed that the South Park guys had the guts to do this episode though. Good luck getting any big name writers to work with them in the future but then again the South Park guys probably don't care if the writers hate them.
South Park guys don't care if anybody hates them. by David Cloverfield	Apr 3rd, 2008 08:34:05 AM
They seemed to have more of a problem with the way the strike ended, than the strike itself. In retrospective, this interpretation seems pretty spot on. Networks didn't get crippled. Hollywood only gave two shits because of the Oscar gala. They didn't accomplish a thing, and then treated it like they've won. This is all that happened in SP last night.
Also by David Cloverfield	Apr 3rd, 2008 09:01:29 AM
I've watched it on southparkstudios.com, where it was riddled with ads. From what I heard, that money goes directly to Matt and Trey. So, they can make money off the Internet after all.

speaking of "dramatic chipmunks".. by jig98	Apr 3rd, 2008 09:28:24 AM
i was shocked to hear that alvin and the chipmunks is now the fastest selling dvd in america with 2.6 million fucking copies in one day. christ. oh, and by the way, the new south park blew chunks.
The point of the strike by INWOsuxRED	Apr 3rd, 2008 10:03:17 AM
was to get internet money before it becomes the big source of income in the way they failed to get DVD money until way after DVD had peaked. They actually prevented themselves from getting royaly screwed again, so I would say it was to some extent a victory. From there, the South Park guys sign a deal to make a shit load of money, much of it do to internet. From there, Comedy Central runs a Lewis Black about YouTube vs Porn. So there goes the whole "can't make money on the internet yet" argument. I'm not much of a fan of the "I've seen that before" humor that was the youtube fight, but I did get some joy out of the Butters video, so it wasn't a total waste. Human Giant season 2, continues to be funnier this season and continues to be totally ignored by Herc. I guess Human Giant doesn't know how to send out press releases so Herc can post them without including any real content of his/her own.
This season has been fantastic... by DanielKurland	Apr 3rd, 2008 10:03:20 AM
You guys are just expecting and wanting something different. The first episode not only works in terms of its concept, but the tone of it in the beginning is wonderful. Calling the episode something playful and alliterated like "Tonsil Troubles" and all the "You did say it was FREE ice cream? Ha ha.", and the music, makes the entire episode better in terms of doing a completely ridiculous episode with such a mild tone at he start. Could it be better? Probably, but most things can. The Britney Spears episode may have not been a laugh a minute, but that doesn't mean it wasn't good. It actually had something to say, and made an incredibly good point, and illustrated it in such an absurdist fashion. This episode as well worked on the same scope, and my only problem with it was the "buddy/pal/friend" joke was done too often. The Heavy Metal one was my least favorite (which many of you have said you enjoyed the most) because it was pretty much just lazily piggybacking on Heavy Metal, as opposed to offering something new. I don't care if this may not be the "Funniest" season so far, but it's certainly up there as one of the most intelligent, and proving what a good satire South Park is, as opposed to just random shit going on for the sake of random shit going on. I will not be surprised at all if this week's episode is nominated/wins an Emmy.

Was there really something in the spears episode by INWOsuxRED	Apr 3rd, 2008 10:35:37 AM
that you needed explained to you? You really didn't know that the media builds up celebrities and also tears them down? You didn't know that people that buy tabloids are condoning and funding the behavior of the tabloids? What point was made in that episode that would be a revelation to anyone with a 4th grade education?
re: Add to Friends and TimBenzedrine by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 3rd, 2008 10:42:42 AM
...I hate usin the "aspiring" word...but I have to since no one is payin me yet...and unlike those selfish writers, I do it cuz I love it...if I could actually get a payin writin job, Ill be happy as hell...but then again, Ill probably be diagnosed wit super cancer or somethin...
a ahole's thoughts all over again by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 3rd, 2008 10:45:55 AM
...this ep is so fuckin classic...well actually all of SP is fantastic even the bad ones...the way they make chars enounciate words or the way they make the chars move (watch the suit guys dancin at the victory party...new dance craze)...also, Ike just layin in the snow was funny and that couple talkin bout anal sex without makin God angry, hella funny...I love this damn show...
I'm not saying the message in the Spears... by DanielKurland	Apr 3rd, 2008 11:00:03 AM
episode wasn't obvious, but with all the celebrity hype, etc. that happens, we've gotten to the point where we just accept it as normal now. Sometimes it's necessary to just present something in a different manner to get people thinking about how the fuck is actually happening. Like how Jolie/Pitt can sell a picture of their child for 50 million dollars, and it's just treated as natural. Perhaps the message iself wasn't so much significant, but rather the questioning of it.
Mr Ramirez: by TimBenzedrine	Apr 3rd, 2008 11:04:37 AM
You might find a paying gig if you could get someone to take you seriously. But in order for someone to take your writin seriously, you might want to consider utilizing the letter "g" a little more often.
re: TimBenzedrine by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 3rd, 2008 11:31:20 AM
...thanks for your comments, but I assure you, I dont write my stories the way I write on AICN...cuz tat wud b fukin stoopid...
Samwell by d1138	Apr 3rd, 2008 12:08:58 PM
Yeah, the Butters "What What" thing made me laugh, even if it is a dusty reference. In the timeline of viral video, that's ancient history.
Writers strike victory by skimn	Apr 3rd, 2008 12:15:30 PM
See Tina Fey's opening monologue when she hosted SNL post-strike for the same idea. "We successfully negoiated a 3 cent per dollar revenue after one year of full streaming, yada, yada , etc." I don't think anyone thinks that NO one is making money off the internet, except those posting their material to You Tube, etc. Now Tay Zonday may get a commercial deal and his 15 minutes of fame that he could translate to something else, but of course it's the site founders and corporations that are making the money off the nets in advertising revenue.
Since the phrse "jumped the shark"... by Kid Z	Apr 3rd, 2008 12:22:26 PM
...has pretty much jumped the shark by now, let me be the first to say, South Park has now officially "blasted off Britney's head."
lol Kid Z by mr ahole ramirez	Apr 3rd, 2008 01:15:13 PM
...thats pretty good...not sure if it means somethin good or bad but its good..."You see Lost last night? it totally blasted off Britney's head"...

The season hasn't been the show's best, but by Novaman5000	Apr 3rd, 2008 04:48:03 PM
I'm sorry, that scene where the YouTube Phenoms got into a fight? That shit is fucking classic. Sneezing panda = amazing.
This ep also re-energized all these old vids. by Novaman5000	Apr 3rd, 2008 05:15:43 PM
All of them now have comments by people saying "I'm not your friend, guy" "I'm not your buddy, friend!", etc.
is that show still on? by Napoleon Park	Apr 3rd, 2008 06:00:21 PM
this is that thing with the talking paper dolls, right?
Canadian dollar by Kaitain	Apr 3rd, 2008 08:02:37 PM
"Isn't their dollar worth more than the US dollar at this point?" Not only that, they have all the natural resources that the US needs but will soon no longer be able to afford due to the idiotic leadership of the last seven years. Canada will be a much better place to live in the 21st century than the US, 'm'afraid. Space, resources, energy, and (perhaps most importantly) an endless supply of clean water.
I'd prefer "Ate the shotgun" as a JTS replacement. by ZeroCorpse	Apr 3rd, 2008 10:23:40 PM
Instead of "Blasted off Britney's Head", I think we should adopt "Ate the shotgun" or just "ate the gun" as a replacement for "jumped the shark. But South Park hasn't eaten the gun yet.
Haha I loved it by JoeSixPack	Apr 4th, 2008 12:30:56 AM
Few realize how paltry the "win" by the WGA was.
Funniest part of this South Park? by ChocolateReign	Apr 6th, 2008 02:21:56 PM
Inspiring mr ahole ramirez to talk of his dreams of being a writer one day. Yeah, the guy who can't make a coherent post on a nerd talkback is going to write movies and TV shows. Oh, the dreams of the young and stupid.
