4. It still manages to be brilliant as often as not. And amazingly timely at times.
I love how their process lets them write an episode just a few days before it airs.

6. I am not a fan
Yes, they "got" Glen Beck. Big friggin deal.

If I were to point to a thesis for South Park it would be "Everyone is an idiot" or possibly "Don't trust change." Yes, the show seemed initially nice to gay people but as time went on they tossed out every negative stereotype imaginable as some sort of joke.

They mock environmentalism of every variety, they obsess with celebrity culture to the point I want to vomity, and the only religion they seem to be ok with is the Mormons.

I could go on a long rant or tirade but these two guys were annoying years ago.

7. Yes
Love the show. I never miss it and often watch the same episode more than once to catch the innuendo and nuances I missed the first time.

South Park tackles and pushes the envelope on the current, social and political issues, other shows won't touch. Trey Parker and Matt Stone have triggered some major heated discussions in our home over the years.
