While it appeared the terrorists were summoned to stop the Jersey invasion, the real motivation was to get Osama Bin Laden close enough to put a bullet in his head. What does this say about the show’s creators? How many other shows can you think of that would blatantly kill off Bin Laden (more than once, I might add)? This episode shows, once again, that Parker and Stone detest parts of our culture than many do (i.e. the obsession with Jersey Shore), but still haven’t forgotten the importance of real issues such as defeating evil.
What is great about Parker and Stone is that they remain unafraid to lampoon anyone (even if it means acquiring a fatwa). Though, the most important asset of South Park is that the show’s creators understand the difference between good and evil. They consistently go to controversial lengths to make useful points about our culture, such as acknowledging America’s crazy obsession with Jersey folks while reminding us of what we should focus on, stifling the threat of radical Islam.
While the fearful Left wants to stop us from saying hurtful things that might offend our enemies they treat private business and Christian values like a case of rabies. Their priorities are skewed by political correctness, rendering them useless in any important fight against true villains. South Park has long proven that it’s okay to be critical of both political parties, but it is essential to stand together on issues involving our country’s security.
If last week’s episode was made by leftist humorists, the show would have ended before Bin Laden was murdered, leaving the joke to be that Al-Qaeda helped save America (in hopes of provoking the so-called “warmongering” Right-wingers). South Park went the necessary step further to justify the partnership as a way to kill one of the most evil men in the world. The show proves that the battle against the world’s villains must transcend politics and always trump our cultural obsessions.
