When she asked me about the show and if she would be allowed to watch it, I responded with "let me watch an episode first and I will let you know if I think it is appropriate."
Wow!
Either I am really old, or this show is just disturbing and I didn't realize it when I watched it years ago. There were basically naked men having sex....on a cartoon, and lots of very degrading remarks. Nothing I would ever let my child watch....and certainly nothing I thought was the slightest bit funny.
I explained the next day that it was not going to be a show she would be able to watch. I told her there were naked people in cartoon form and that I considered it to be porn (a word I should have probably explained better).
Rebecca went off to school and came home later that day saying all of her friends looked confused when she said she was not allowed to watch South Park because it had way to much corn in it.
Yup, corn.
I wish that was South Park's only problem.

Oh, I am laughing so hard right now. Laughing at the innocence of Rebecca. Wishing my eyes and ears were that innocent again.
Oh, that is funny, but you're right, that show is very disturbing and not for kids. Or, in my opinion, anyone.
Ha, very nice.
Crazy that kids would be allowed to watch that show. It's very heavy satire with heavy use of taking things to the extreme which combined with the creators love of the freedom of speech gets way out of appropriate for kids content.
I'll admit that I do appreciate the satire from time to time.
This was so funny i laught out laud, children do say the funniest of things. Never have seen the show myself and certainly won't after what you said . Keep up the good work , an admirer
