little commentary on south park here.
i generally really enjoy the show. it's hilarious, and all that. hahaha, laugh.
it's annoying too, though, in that it completely skewers anything or anyone who takes anything seriously -- without recognizing that the shows creators take themselves very very seriously. to the point where they felt they had a duty to society to do the scientology episode (again, which i loved -- same as the very recent "smug" episode).
south park is good not because it's amazingly innovative or incisive in its critique of the social order. it's good because it's funny and entertaining. it annoys me that the show itself takes itself with the same level of seriousness it mocks in everyone/everything else, though.
