I was wondering about the sound effects. I just figured they never finished the sound for the episode, but that makes more sense.I'm a BIG Trey and Matt fan. Everything they do has a double edge to it. It's usually self depricating, as well as social commentary. The entire South Park movie was revenge for Orgazmo getting an NC-17 rating... even though there were less swear words than that South Park episode, and one flash of one nipple. And even South Park was NC-17 until they made Saddam's penis into a dildo.
The whole standards and practices in the media thing is ludicrous. They stick to their guns to the bitter end about the stupidest things... can't say shit, but you can allude to it for a half hour. The radio people around here say 'ish' all the time, since that's what it sounds like when they play it backwards in a song. In Minnesota, the most popular morning show freely uses shit, and has for a couple years now.
One by one, we'll get those 7 words back. I've been using the words since 1st grade... why can't they?
One eppisode that caught me COMPLETELY off guard was the one with the black guy getting hung on the flag. Not only do the succeed at making racial descrimination hillarious, but then they turn it around at the end and throw it in the face of equal rights activists! Brilliant!
