Parents need to know that the show South Park is not intended for younger viewers. The satire involved requires some perspective on kids' parts. Despite the cartoon format and the youth of the main characters, the issues and humor in each episode are geared toward more mature audiences who won't be tempted to imitate anything they hear on the show. Characters curse frequently, although the extreme language is bleeped. Graphic insults and discussions that take place are also not appropriate for younger viewers. There is not much on-screen violence, but there are some creepy scenes where a young character spearheads an anti-Semitic agenda. The social issues, centering on ethnic intolerance and hate mongering, are also not suggested for younger viewers.
Positive messages:Cartman incites a Neo-Nazi movement. Kenny and Stan steal money. Mel Gibson is featured as a maniacal madman who performs unspeakable acts.
Violence:Cartoon violence, more bloody than usual.
I hate Mel Gibson. He's a disgusting human being, so I loved South Park making fun of him! South Park is gross, but also extremely witty and hilarious! One of the best shows on TV. The positive message is-- Mel Gibson sucks.
funny, lol. for people with open minds, NO WAY IN H*LL FOR KIDS! mature people. it doesnt matter the age, just the children should know that they should NEVER coppy this show. anyway, Trey and Mat are only making 2 more seasons.
Very funny, and not as explicit as most "South Park" releases.
This is a very funny DVD release. Not everyone will agree with the message portrayed by the DVD, but I certainly did. This release is not nearly as explicit as many "South Park" DVDs, but it's still got some iffy content. Violence isn't really an issue; there's one scene that portrays the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Language is strong for a cartoon, but not explicit (the f-word is censored, but expect words like "balls" and the b-word). There are some crude sexual remarks, also, and one episode included has several scenes discussing the Catholic sex scandal. Cartman is a very negative role model in this release (even more so than usual), but there are characters that are equally positive. While I would not recommend "South Park" as a whole to younger teens, I would say that this DVD is probably okay for many of them.
I am a christian, but I do think that you can't think that this offends people, because if y'think that the offensiveness is an issue. Let me explain:
1. Language. Yes, lots of it, but still funny. There is lots of language, and really isn't suitible for someone under 16, except for those people that have already been exposed to it. Age is only a number.
