      I’ve always found it funny how I’ve seen folks from both ideological sides point to this film as a satire of what’s wrong with the other. It’s a simple satire, but that’s what makes it effective.

          I mean, this honestly just sounds like you’re saying he’s really good at vapid “commentary” that is little more than broad observational humour that falls apart on close inspection. “Stupid people are stupid” isn’t exactly putting you up there with George Carlin.

          This is exactly the problem South Park has; the only “commentary” they’re actually willing to commit to is “everyone sucks”. This is neither helpful, nor in any way actually accurate.

          As the saying goes, if everywhere you go smells like dogshit, check your shoes.
