Cartoon Wars: Part 1

This episode was so exciting. Seeing Kyle and Cartman racing along the highway in a high octane thrill ride. And then Kyle almost driving off a cliff, but he jumps out of the way at the last second, as his tricycle explodes in the canyon. I couldn't believe it. My heart was about to jump out of my chest.

Who was the good guy? Surely it can't be Cartman? Is Kyle finally in the wrong?

It was such a cliffhanger that I couldn't wait for the next episode. Will Comedy Central "puss out", or will they show Muhammad?

Somehow, somewhere along the line, people are starting to miss an important aspect of South Park. So as a forewarning to anyone who has never seen South Park but happens to e-trip across this page:

THIS SHOW IS NOT INTENDED FOR PEOPLE WHO TAKE THEMSELVES SERIOUSLY! At all. It's satire of satire of political and social satire. It's Parker and Stone's way of making people laugh at the world we live in (and having some fun offending stuck up, tightassed Americans while they're at it).

If you take yourself seriously (especially people who have big enough egos to use the words "metaphysics" and "polemic" in a review about a cartoon TV show), then don't watch the show.

I love the, "Sand houses" joke, It's not exactly racist, aren't Egypt and Iraq surrounded by sand, and aren't these countries predominantly full of Muslims. As for your religion, go sell crazy elsewhere I don't buy a word of it. Why go out of your way to slam an episode? Seriously were you that upset by the jokes? Were all free to think as we please we are not being brainwashed by Matt and Trey, we can think for ourselves even when we watch, "unholy" shows like South Park.

Cartoon Wars is the bomb though seriously, I love this developed relationship between Cartman and Kyle where they simply hate each others guts. The characters in South Park have come along way from the fart humour and the, "one liners" from the earlier episodes.

First I must mention I have not fully seen the sequel because it was malfunctioning, so I will comment solely on this first episode. This is another one of South Park's great episodes/two parters by itself, but has achieved deeper meaning now because of recent controversy when South Park was talking about Mohammed a month or two ago and ran into censorship problems and actually received death threats. This episode also brings up important issues of the first amendment and how much it should cover. This episode does belittle the writing of Family Guy and its integration of jokes, something I have noticed for a while about Family Guy and caused me not to continue watching once each episode was filled with jokes containing no relevancy to anything. No matter how far-fetched a South Park joke may seem, it always ties in at the end. The writing of South Park is almost consistently excellent some exceptions each season, unlike with Family Guy where I feel dumb after watching.
