My freeper Mom is taking my little sister to see Team America.

[Sterling]

This movie is popular with the left behind crowd for it's attacks on liberalism.

I hope people will realize what these guys are. I have seen way to many people here in denial about the SP teams agenda.

I used to be a fan too. It has just become very clear to me that these guys do not stand for the same things I do and are pressing a very bad agenda.

[name not needed]

1. It isn't kind to conservatives either

Unless they are in to kinky puppet sex.

[Sterling]

4. See is specifically going because of the anti liberal slant.

I would say that the attacks on liberals are far more present and fundamental than the laughs at the expense of the PNACers. If my mom is going that means the freepers have adopted this movie.

[cosmicvortex20]

32. Maybe they can take a joke better?

Dont be so hyper-sensitive. If you do plan on being sensitive, you dont need to see anything made by these guys even if it does agree with your politics.

[Sterling]

35. Not hyper sensitive, just aware these people have an agenda

I find offensive and counter to the good of the world. And thanks but I am well awarer I don't have to see their work. I feel I have a right, no an obligation to help others become aware what Parker and Stone are about now. I used to be a huge fan. Like many liberals I was a fan early on. I think they don't really deserve or favor anymore.

On edit, you seriously think freepers can take a joke? Sure that's it, liberals are shrill, neo cons are open and easy going. They never have a problem with films that are counter to their viewpoints.

43. The More You Complain The More Popular The Movie Gets

It's kind of counterproductive to complain so much about the movie if you're so against it. Just look at Fahrenheit 9/11.

[Sterling]

47. Yes I can take credit for the box office from my thread.

Right. Never mind the huge mass media marketing machine behind it. Sorry. I don't think discussing it on DU is going to make much difference one way or the other in respect to how popular this movie will be. However dicussions like this one were the begining of the end for Faux news and Dennis Miller's cred. So maybe this can be a drop in the bucket of an awareness that these guys are not on our side.

In this day and age I find it I don't see why people on this board would see a problem with letting your political views influence your choice of what to spend your money on. That's a pretty common and basic way to voice your concerns. Really the only one besides your vote.

[Sterling]

6. Unless they are in to kinky puppet sex

I'm sure somewhere in the PNAC crowd this is popular. Just look at dildo boy?

[movonne]

2. Bad mom!!

[chimpymustgo]

3. The movie's creators (Parker and Stone?) say NO!

Just caught the tail end of Anderson Cooper, and they were saying this movie is not for kids - it is an ADULT movie.

[Sterling]

5. My little sister is 16 but still.

Bad mom for filling my little sister with RW propaganda.

[yardwork]

44. I don't think your freeper mom will like it

I saw the first SP movie and it was actually shocking. I mean, I laughed, but it was really over the top. Unless your freeper mom enjoys movies like Pulp Fiction and triple-X porn, somehow I doubt she'll like this.

[telex54]

10. I saw the sneak preview &...

it most certainly isn't a movie for children. However, I must say I cried I was laughing so hard.

[slutticus]

7. I'm going to see it.

It doesn't seem very friendly to either side.

And it was going to be rated NC17 before a scene was cut out. I'd be more worried about a child seeing it than I would be about attacks on liberalism.

I'm a grown-up...I can take attacks on my ideology.

[Sterling]

8. "I can take attacks on my ideology"

So can I but I usually don't pay to see them. To each their own. I would rather stay home and watch a little ATHF.

[slutticus]

12. Who said anything about paying?

:evilgrin:

[bushiehater]

9. If freepers can boycott celebs they don't like, then

we can do the same thing.

The South Park creators clearly have their heads in the clouds-oblivious to how they are disrupting the political process by encouraging people to not vote. Boo on them.

[Sterling]

11. I think at this point it is important.

This is war.

[Radio-Active]

15. Right...

remember, people, you can always pay for a ticket to Ghost In the Shell 2, or some other movie, and then go in to see Team America.

[Lars39]

16. That's what freepers did with F 911 this summer.

Not a real honest thing to do.

[Sterling]

20. Like the freeps did f 9-11?

Actually I doubt anybody even did that. Sure you could do that but why spend two hours of your life being told you are a douche for thinking America has some serious problems and not wanting to invade the world.

[Radio-Active]

24. of course..

I'm just reminding those who really want to see it, that they don't have to support these guys.

[Sterling]

29. You are supporting them.

You are filling a chair in the theater, you are praising their work to others.

45. rotfl!

[Downtown Hound]

21. Sounds like you haven't been laid in a loooonnnng,

long time.

[Sterling]

25. I suppose these are the kinds of people....

Parker and Stone are trying to reach these days.

I think if liberals come to understand these guys are against them they would have an impact on Stone and Parkers credibility.

[mountainvue]

26. Wow. Who let O'Reilly in? n/t

[jackstraw45]

14. I think we all need to lighten up about this movie....

It's a distraction and entertainment.

Anyone over 18 who is going to change their vote based on a puppet sex movie probably wouldn't be intelligent to find their polling place.

Let's laugh at ourselves a little and not take it so seriously.

Anger is the reaction the filmakers WANT because they know it will increase, not decrease, ticket sales.

[Jose Diablo]

17. Team America "World Police"

I would think that after 70+ years of propaganda to make us think we should be "world police" that we Americans should see the role Hollywood has played in changing America from Teddy R 'speak quietly but carry a big stick', into an America that sticks-up for those underdogs in the world; corporations and the wealthy.

We have been snowed by nothing less than a huge government operated propaganda machine designed to modify citizens thinking.

[Downtown Hound]

18. The best response we can give to this movie is to ignore it

Personally, I've given Trey Parker and Matt Stone my last dollar. They're a couple of dorks that have never gotten over their miserable high school experience. They were funny when they first started, but haven't been for some time.

But ultimately, if we get too upset over this movie it's only going to make it, and them, more popular. In the end it is just a stupid piece of satire that shouldn't be taken too seriously. I would just like to see either of the two losers that made it go to Iraq and see all the suffering there, and then tell me that we shouldn't vote or that it's something to be laughed at.

[Sterling]

23. I think it is important to get the word out who Parker and Stone work for.

nt

[Downtown Hound]

31. You have a point

I'm just a little concerned that if there's a big liberal outcry against this movie, it could become a freeper rallying point. Not that that in itself would be such a huge disaster, if the best the freepers can do for heroes is two geeks who's claim to fame is fart jokes and killing Kenny, I'm not too worried.

But it will make Parker and Stone a lot of money, ensuring they'll be around for quite some time. But hey, we should always speak our minds, and this case is no exception.

[Sterling]

34. My point is it already is a freeper rally point.

Oddly enough it was the liberal elite culture whores who initially latched on to SP.

[ilovenicepeople]

36. Finally

the RW answer to F911, Team America,World police (take that TRUTH)

[Sterling]

40. Yes. I just think it sucks coming from those guys.

I was a fan early on and have really enjoyed a lot of their work. I am disappointed they turned out to be so oblivious politically. I also think it is important when someone goes freep that we can get the word out. God knows how many Democrats I knew that were shocked when I told them aux news was a recently as a few months ago.

[mountainvue]

22. I wouldn't give those two

little slacker bastards one penny.

[kodi]

27. good. it will give you time to stick up a kerry/edwards sign on her lawn

or bumper sticker on her front door.

[Sterling]

28. I wish, I live in another state.

If I was there I would be doing my best to de brainwash my family. Itry through emails and on the phone but it's hard.

[Generic Other]

30. Sterling, you have a freeper mom?!

How does that happen? Are you a foundling? Left at a stranger's door by an anarchist socialist radical birthmother as she was dragged off to jail?


I always think my son got switched for a Repug at birth. :)

[Sterling]

33. She changed after she got remarried.

Sad to admit. When I grew up she was very progressive thinking. Some personal mistakes of hers lead her to guilt herself into becoming a repuke. She used to smoke weed when I was a kid.

Now she has no problem with the fact I was arrested when visiting her for having a bag of shake in my car.
Some of it has to do with her Christianity some just plain being out of touch.

I love her but I can't respect her opinions the way I used to. The values she taught me growing up were much different than the ones she promotes these days.


I think recently I pinpointed some events that lead to this change in her and have come to understand her better. Unfortunately it only makes me feel worse for her. One day I may try to confront her with my thoughts on this subject but the topic is very personal and I am not sure how to go about it yet because it involves a lot of old wounds.

[Generic Other]

46. We can pick our noses but we can't pick our relatives

Or pick their noses. Something like that.

Your understanding and acceptance of your mom's choices is admirable. I'm sure at some level she is very proud of your sense of justice and your charitable attitude.

That's the mark of a liberal. One of the good guys!

[frylock]

37. matt & trey state that anyone who would be influenced by this movie..

really should not vote anyway, and I would agree. For fuck's sake, get a grip, and quit being so damned thin skinned. These posts are as bad as some of the crap you see on freak republic. For the hundredth time, these guys are equal opportunity haters.

[Sterling]

38. I am not very focused on the vote.

I never said I thought it would. At this point what could? Everyone has pretty much picked a poison.

I do think it influences younger people who may not understand the references that older viewers are familiar with and can dismiss as irony and satire. If you don't think cartoons influence young people I guess you never had a bowl of cereal before or owned a GI Joe or a Barbie doll.

[frylock]

42. sorry i jumped down your throat..

perhaps I am the one who is a little thin skinned. But honestly, there have been like 30 posts about this movie, and I think a lot of people don't understand that it rips both sides. I think it takes equal jabs at the rah-rah, flag waving, PAABAH type idiots, as well as the so-called "liberal elitists", albeit a little less subtly with the latter.

[fujiyama]

39. How old is your little sister?

I think it will be amusing to see your mom's reaction. Apparently it's VERY raunchy.

Tell her to have fun.

[Sterling]

41. I told her what to expect.

I told her about the Saddam fucking Satan bit. She kinda got quite but she is going through with it anyway. I would take my sister if she wanted to go I would just tell her why I think Parker and Stone are sellout douche bags so she would no that not everyone thinks like Stone and Parker.
