How does it get away with it? Probably the funniest show ever

Television programs usually have an unwritten code that making fun of some things is just plain wrong and telling lies or demeaning celebrities can get you sued... except when it comes to South Park. For some reason South Park seems to have been granted immunity from criticism by the masses. It is the only show that appears to be able to do anything it wants, however it wants, whenever it wants, and gets away with it scott free. Sure the hotlines to the television watchdogs might be ringing off the hooks when it really gets offensive but quite frankly nobody is answering because it seems that the world just likes a good old demented outlet now and again and the safest venue appears to be the adult cartoon South Park. The concept is simple. Combine dumbeddown 2D animation with unique characters with quite interesting and deep personalities with complex backgrounds combined with outragours stories, horrific sequences, extremely black humour, absolute stupidity, relationships gone wrong, real life famous personalities, layers of offensive material so nobody gets away unscathed, all within the framework of a small backward town that is on the tip of exploding into mayhem for one reason or another. It is all outrageous stuff... but bravo to the makers because its sooooo very funny. Matt Stone and Tray Parker just let their minds loose every episode to come up some of the craziest television that is so original in concept that nothing out there can compete. At the same time you either love or it or hate it. There is no middle ground. You either find it 1 star extremely obnoxious or 5 stars ridiculously funny. The downside is that the number of episodes on season one is quite limited. This has only 13. It is still worth it though but you will get more episodes with later seasons. Episodes include alien abduction, hunting trips gone wrong, building muscles, big gay Al, elephans and pigs, death, zombies, ethiopians, Mr. Hanky, Satan, Plastic surgery, Barba Streisand and Cartman's mom.
