“I don’t give a shit about being PC or anti-PC,” Matt Stone told The Independent in 1998. “We tackle subject matter that we think is funny and unique. However, the show remains one of the most powerful sources of social satire on television today and series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone refer to themselves as “equal opportunity offenders,” lampooning everything from stem cell research to the Virgin Mary’s butthole. A Canadian judged once described South Park as a “vulgar, socially irreverent program that contributes nothing to society.” The advocacy group Parents Television Council condemned the show as a “curdled, malodorous black hole of Comedy Central vomit” that “shouldn’t have been made,” and Action for Children’s Television founder Peggy Charren claimed that the show’s use of language was “dangerous to the democracy.” Over nearly two decades, South Park has earned its fair share of fans and critics.
