South Park?

[JTFFan]

I think that most television programming is terrible and evil. South Park is no exception.

I've heard many Orthodox Rabbis call it "silly-vision" and some strict Yeshivas will not accept a student into a school if the parents watch a lot of television.

A lot of the news has a tremendous amount of lashon hora and sexual/graphic violence is on almost every channel. Plus, the brain-washing on television is obvious. They tell you what to wear, what to eat, what's funny, what's good, what's bad... don't think for a moment that it doesn't effect you. The people we hang around are the people we become like (from the Torah) and that applies to actors on television (some of whom we'd NEVER invite into our homes).

Parents that raise their kids on TV will be responsible to Hashem for the great wrong that they are doing. We have such a short time on this earth and we would waste it on television? We are entertaining ourselves to death.

If you put that garbage into your brain, then you will have a very tough time.

Yes Brother!, Yes! You are ABSOLUTELY correct!!!!!!
In fact, i am sure Chaim would detest that horrible tv show SP! VERY sure!
Go ahead, ask him.

Agreed, also one has to realize TV programs have gone down hill to Bolshevism sadly

It doesn't build one up spiritually, that's for sure. It's not something that contributes to moral behavior either. I can't really excuse watching it, but I keep my core values and if it gets too bad, I don't watch the rest of the episode. There were a couple of them that I simply couldn't watch because they were too bad, but some of them are very funny, like the manbearpig episode that makes fun of Al Gore.

What's your favorite episode? My favorite one of all time is "Scott Tinerman must die" followed by "Osama bin Laden has farty pants" and "The mystery of the urinal deuce" as close seconds.

i would have to say Tsst and The Death of Eric Cartmen.

[dejavu]

No question at all... "trapped in the closet"

[firster555]

It is just a silly TV show, and mostly it is funny.
Sorry the Scott Tinnermun episode was the worst, if that was the first one I saw I probably would have never watched it again.
As a parent I did not let my children watch it until they were old enough, in my opinion, not thiers. All a parent needs to do is say NO, and stick to it, that easy.
The Sh*t and vomit humor I can do without but the the un PC humor is great.
Not only Judaism has been made fun of but also Christianity, islam, Mormonism, Scientology, American indians, Homosexuals, Blacks, Puerto Rican guys from the Bronx, Jesus, Mohammad, Moses, Joseph Smith, Buddha, Enviromentalists, Hillary Clinton, Al Gore, Mel Gibson, the Bloods and Crips, and on and on.
Best episodes:
With apologies to Jesse Jackson
Trapped in the closet
Two days before the day after tomorrow
Cartoon Wars
This is what mormons really believe
Cartman does Special Olympics
Casino Indians
Timmy and Jimmy joining the Crips
Sorry, not sure of the exact titles of some of the episodes I mentioned.
Very often gross and disgusting, yes. Though very often funny if you can get past that.

They're my favorites too, Matt Stone and Trey Parker are equall opurtunity mockers not PC self haters at all, keep the kids away, remember this is comedy not role model, and all we'll be well. Even JTF-ers need relax.

That kind of thinking works very similar to this type of thinking:

"Come on... it just makes fun of G-d a little. I don't watch the parts that make fun of G-d or have little kids cussing or where they say really perverted things."

Or how about on a different topic where I've heard excuses before...

"Come on... it's only light porn. It's just a silly DVD. It's not really that hardcore! It's for adults and it doesn't hurt anyone. You don't have to watch it."

Or...

"Come on... it's only a Palast¡n¡an. Not all of them are trying to be suicide bombers. Just because a few of them bomb stuff doesn't mean you can't be friends with one."

It really makes me wonder. Are you guys really that lost?

EVIL is EVIL no matter what excuses you want to make or no matter how much you've been brainwashed. Just because it has an on and off switch or just because it's funny or just because adults watch it... doesn't make it right. It just makes you intellectually dishonest.

When your life is over and Hashem asks you what you did with your time... you are not going to be able to lie to G-d. Trust me... this scares me for my own life.

[newman]

I liked it when Cartman went through the 'Hall of Hate' that played all the 'hate' words like "sp*c, WOP, n*gger, fag...." etc and liked it so much he asked to go again!

The Simpsons is vastly superior.

I used to be a fan of the Simpsons - but they are a bit boring compared to SP.

South Park is the GREATEST show of all time. My favourite episodes are

"The Passion of the Jew"
"A latter to heaven"
"Do the Handicapped go to Hell?" double episode that picks off were the movie left off.
