What Parents Need to Know
This review of South Park was written by Marjorie Kase
Parents need to know that this show, while animated, isn't meant for kids. There's constant swearing, cartoon violence, potty humor, jokes about sexuality, and mocking of authority figures. One character is made fun of for being physically and developmentally disabled, another for his weight. One of the main characters dies in each episode. People of every race, class, gender, religion, and credo are parodied, albeit usually with the intent of proving a point against hypocrisy and political correctness. Episodes aired in syndication have been edited for content to meet network broadcasting standards.

Which is more valued -- inner or outer beauty? Why? And for that matter, who's deciding how beauty is defined? How do the fashion industry's values trickle down to popular culture?

More on South Park
What’s the Story?
Brought to you by gross-out impresarios Matt Stone and Trey Parker, SOUTH PARK is an animated show featuring the bizarre exploits of four foul-mouthed elementary school children. Cartman is obnoxious, racist, anti-Semitic, overweight, spoiled, and selfish; Stan is earnest and afraid of girls (especially Wendy Testaberger, whose mere presence provokes vomit); Kyle is Jewish and confused about his identity, which isn't helped by Cartman's constant insults; and Kenny (R.I.P.) is mysteriously killed off in each episode under dubious circumstances. Insanity (and inanity) prevails in the boys' small mountain town as it's constantly overcome by strange events involving celebrities, the supernatural, and the just plain weird. Cows are abducted by aliens, snowmen go on killing sprees, and a piece of excrement teaches kids about the spirit of Christmas.
Is It Any Good?
Shocking, offensive and hilarious, South Park continues to undermine authority with its creative and insightful critiques of the media, politics, and celebrity hype. Occasionally, the show's point gets muddled in its outrageousness, but, for the most part, it's still as fresh as it was in its first few years.
South Park includes very mature content that is inappropriate for kids and young teens. Parents should be aware that the show requires a certain level of sophistication to understand its essential message. They may want to pre-screen the show and watch episodes with their teens to provoke further discussion on the issues being addressed.

South Park from a parents perspective
This is show is better than it's earlier movie but still isn't for all ages or even for some tweens. This is fine for 15+ since they hear much worse language at their own schools. But for these teens it is a fine show. I accual watch it with my son and that's why I give it *****, five stars.

Not suitable at all in any way.
Really funny, but not suitable.At all. What so ever. This is probably the least suitable show I know. My parents laugh at me for thinking I might be allowed watch it when I ask if I can watch it, thats how bad it is!
