The reason to finally stop watching South Park
I always understood that half the reason they created most of their episodes was to stir up controversy. Everything from jew jokes, to alien probes, to killing everyone, all great.
Now with the most recent s12 episode, Britney's new look, I will no longer be watching South Park. How can anyone possibly have any sympathy for a celebrity? You get paid millions of dollars a year to deal with all the fans and the rest of the hassles. If you wanted to have a life without being hounded by the media, it's simple, don't be a celebrity. Ok, if you want to say "Oh. well her parents started her on the path and it wasn't her fault". BS, her parents knew what would happen too. It's not like this whole Papparazzi thing started last year. It's been the same ever since there was media.
All in all, I think it's sickening that anyone should have any sympathy for these people. THAT'S WHAT THEY GET ALL THE MONEY THAT WE WISH WE HAD. But, I guess if I also made millions of dollars I might feel bad too.
Anyway, Thanks Matt n Trey for bringing to a close your 12 year legacy, for me that is.
Re: The reason to finally stop watching South Park
Celebrities are people. They are humans like you, me, your mother, your father, Matt and Trey. They deserve privacy, not having to live in hiding at fear of someone creeping around with a camera.
Also South Park isn't always about controversy. Granted, controversy gets media attention, and that's worth like 4 super bowl commercials at minimum, more attention = more cash, but South Park has grown beyond the simple jew jokes. South Park leaves you with something to think about, and yesterday's message was: it's time to leave Britney Spears alone.
It's sad enough she head lines media when daily disasters occur, or maybe there's good news to report, and her life spiraling down shouldn't be house hold knowledge at this point.
Furthermore, you can damn well blame the parents if they propelled her on this path. It's not like parents have best interest intended for their kids, heck, if I had a kid, I'd see if I could exploit his talents for money until he/she's 18, who's to say that wasn't their plan?
Well, I'm not convincing you to watch, just debating your reason for stopping.

A real fan would not stop watching because of 1 or even 2 bad episodes. Guaranteed you'll watch next wednesday.....the episode was not just calling out the media......I saw them showing how it is both britney's fault and the media its more complex than a simple its the media's fault/parents/or britney's its a combination.
Yeah, I didn't/don't like a lot of episodes, including the past two, but I'm still gonna watch it next Wednesday because...well, it's a great show. Oh, and who wants Kenny to start dying or even, be in episodes again?

Re: The reason to finally stop watching South Park
and i really think everyone who has posted bullsh*t commentaries on these episodes are totally missing the point...totally. the britney episode was so great.
i have liked everything trey and matt have done without being fanatical about it, and i think that they have broken new ground...
i keep hearing people talk about wanting to see more kenny death...save kenny! kill yourself!
sweet dude

Okay...when did you start watching South Park?

Re: The reason to finally stop watching South Park
I haven't seen the latest episode, but I've heard from several that it was.. well..
but one episode isn't enough to turn you off a show completely. Its when you see a pattern of bad episodes string after the other that you know its taken a turn for the worse. The art of south park is that it hasn't done that yet. It's had its bad episodes, Yes. It's later seasons are nothing compared to its earlier ones, Yes, but it hasn't lost its charm.

I TOTALLY AGREE
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST SEASONS
MNT JUST GET SMARTER
THIS LAST EPISODE WAS NOT MEANT TO MAKE YOU LAUGH
IT WAS MEANT TO MAKE YOU THINK!
I'M SO PISSED OFF ABOUT EVERYONE WANTING KENNY
IF YOU WANT STUPID LOW BROW HUMOR WATCH FAMILY GUY
SOUTH PARK HAS SUBSTANCE
THEIR FIRST TWO SEASONS DIDN'T BECAUSE THEY WERE JUST f*cking AROUND
BUT BY NOW
SEASON 12
THEY'RE MAKING VERY GOOD POINTS
THEY DIDN'T WIN PEABODY AWARDS AND EMMYS FOR NOTHING
THIS EPISODE WAS ABOUT THE SICK OBESSION WE ALL HAVE TO WATCH CELEBRITIES FALL
IT WASN'T JUST ABOUT BRITANY
EXPECT THEM TO MAKE MORE VITAL POINTS
BECAUSE I THINK THEY'RE AT THE POINT WHERE THEY HAVE BEEN AT IT FOR SO LONG THAT DON'T CARE IF THEY LOOSE FANS AT THE EXPENSE OF MAKING A POINT
THEY DON'T NEED TO MAKE DICK AND FART JOKES ANY MORE
I THINK BY NOW ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE JUST TOO STUPID TO WATCH SOUTH PARK AND FULLY UNDERSTAND IT
Re: The reason to finally stop watching South Park
So the season start's weak. Season 9 had a weak start, as did 6. You need to have faith and give them more time, not every episode's going to be gold, because if that was the case, gold would have less value.

It's not like they havn't given variants of the message before, don't act all supprised. Ever seen the quest for ratings?

I think it was meant to do both. The aids episode didn't succeed in the laughter or the thinking part, the Britney one made up for that.IF YOU WANT STUPID LOW BROW HUMOR WATCH FAMILY GUY

True, even if allcaps fury didn't have to be unleashed. Too many people want what's already on the market when they call for a return to seasons 1-4.I THINK BY NOW ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE JUST TOO STUPID TO WATCH SOUTH PARK AND FULLY UNDERSTAND IT
Not to sound as pretentious as you, but that's true. A lot of people (Matt and Trey inclusive I think) don't even realise how deep the show can be when watched propperly. It's not Montey Python, it's evolved into something new.
I think we should just let M and T do what they want. Thety want contreversty and loosing fans, so we're giving them that I suppose
