I think South Park is utterly disgusting, and I am sorry conservatives have come out in print in favor of it, instead of keeping their viewing of it to themselves. It may make some anti-PC points, but it also attacks normal decencies.

It is true that occasionally there might be something relatively innocent in the fun, but not enough, and even that is routinely overturned in some ugly way in the course of the story. Overall, the messages, when they come through, are more left-liberal than anything else, and are often ridiculously clichéd. Couple that with the general degradation of cultural norms advanced, and conservatives gain absolutely nothing of higher value from South Park, though they may enjoy it for the laughs.

Conservatives may think that stating their affection for this cartoon shows that the Right is vibrant, not stuffy or stodgy, and perhaps they believe that they are making right-wing thought more appealing to younger people. But since the show so lowers cultural standards, conservatives lose any edge they might have had on that score by endorsing the series as some cultural cutting edge or purveyor of anti-PC attitudes. And I say the same thing for the horrendous Borat.
