So, has anyone contacted Trey Parker and Matt Stone (South Park)?

[EvilNight]

They've gone on record as "little L libertarians" and have strong Republican leanings. Anyone remember the "giant douche" vs "turd sandwich" election episode? They have a pretty large fan base.

Anyone contacted them about including Ron Paul in one of their upcoming episodes? There's plenty here for them to make fun of - internet activism not working in the real world, etc. We'd take plenty of flak, but it would almost certainly come out as a RP endorsement in the end. They'd use Ron to slam the crap out of the establishment.

Thoughts?

there have been worse ideas

 

[Maltheus]

I would have thought that a good idea in the past, but their recent stuff has taken a strong neo-con/establishment turn. I doubt they're down with Paul. Although, it's likely they're not down with Romney or Huckabee. I can see them siding with a McCain, I suppose.

 

[fuzzybekool]

So far, the young voters have not come out to support Ron Paul. But it is worth a try.

McCain? negative. They'd probably have a good laugh at that.

The new season doesnt come out until a few months from now though.

Maybe, maybe not. The seem to be pro-war conservatives who are socially liberal. That's McCain to me. They might back a Paul, but I don't think they're with him on the war.

What have you seen that's neo-con? I've been watching that show since the beginning and have never seen anything remotely neo-connish about it.

I doubt theyre pro war. Have you ever seen Team America: World Police? Its a satire making fun of America's world policing and nation building, while also poking fun of the liberal anti war movement. As far as I know they have described themselves as centrists and duck any other political questions by talking about vaginas or something. I think he's been quoted also as hating conservatives, but hating liberals more.

edit: http://www.theadvocates.org/celebrities/trey-parker.html pretty neat article yo.

 

[Maltheus]

No, they have practically stated outright in the show that the war on terror is necessary. They think Bush is just a goof who messes things up, but I think it's clear they support what he's doing. They almost never really rip on him either. In fact, rewatch Team America a little closer. Yeah, they're making fun of what dumbasses we are, but rewatch the "one-to-grow-on" moment at the end.

I think Ron Paul should replace Chef on South Park as the advisor for Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny.

 

[davver]

Yeah they are pro war. They might go for RP but who knows.

I have been guoting that episode ad nauseum......

But that would be cool.

Terrorists attack our imagination etc...

Ron Paul voted to go kill Osama, so whats your point? There is nothing wrong with bringing terrorists to justice, but this does not mean that they are PRO-WAR which is alot different than ANTI-TERRORIST. And for God's sake have you ever seen "That's my Bush!"? Of course they rip on Bush! And they called him a Turd Sandwich to boot.

 

[nullvalu]

I thought Chef was killed off...? Remember, he betrayed the "Super Adventure Club" and was burned on a bridge, fell to his death, was impailed by a tree, eaten by a mountain lion, shot with a shotgun, ripped apart by a grizzly bear, then finally.. of course... crapped his pants.

I guess, but I think they're even for Iraq. I'm not sure I could put my finger on it since I can't recall all the details of the last few years, but somewhere along the way, the show turned, from libertarian to Republican, for rme.

I loved "That's My Bush", but it was an almost loving send up of him, not really a rip. He's a goofy fun guy instead of the real terror that he is. Read some stories on how he treats his staff. He's a dark, rotten person. I think Bush has gotten away with as much as he has simply because every thinks he's a bumbling idiot, so I hate when he's portrayed that way. He ain't no rocket scientist, but he knows what he's doing all the same.
