You missing the point of this episode doesn’t it had no point. Matt and Trey are ambivalent. that’s the point.

I think not taking a definitive stand was the point and I liked that about the episode. Its saying clearly the things Roseanne/Hankey did sucked, but when do you try to redeem them and when are they beyond redemption or run out of chances? Is it fair to go after people who defend their friend even if they denounce the…

Did anybody else think of the episode where Stan is forced to leave town because he won’t vote when Mr. Hankey is exiled? My thought is it seems to be South Park ruminating on what the idea of “cancel culture” is, and a continuation of looking at large group responses. How do we relate with people who have fucked up,…

I’m a little confused why the reviewer thinks that this season is doing season 20 style serialization when three episodes in it’s fairly apparent that they’re doing stand alone episodes with heavier continuity, more along the lines of last season or season 18. So no, we probably won’t see Mr. Hankey again, or even the…

“I wanna stand by my friend”

I’m sincerely baffled by your need to be moralised-to by South Park. The ideology of South Park is “here are the things we think it’s politically OK to laugh at”. I don’t understand why you think you’re, er, supposed to be supposed to feel a particular way, beyond “thats funny and I am comfortable laughing at it” or…

““The Probem With A Poo,” an episode that has no idea what its moral is”

“What?! What are they crying about now?!”

It’s South Park, so I’m just here for the laughs as I find the show amusing.

First things first... this post was absolutely not up at 9:30 pm or when the Modern Family post was put up. So nice job back-timing it to sneak in below the other ones.

“we’re never supposed to know exactly how we’re supposed to feel about what’s going on here.”

It’s not that AV Club is “lefty” and not “straight” journalism, it’s that an amazing amount of material and links are generated by feverishly reporting that “A Person of Note WHO YOU THOUGHT WAS ON YOUR SIDE had a long-form interview, and said this one sideways/hypocritical/human thing somewhere in there, and we’ve…

We’re expanding the definition of “Nazi” to include the desire to have an actual quote match what is claimed about the quote

Spot on.

Despite others’ comments concerning the left/right orientation of you or the blog, the real issue here is just honest journalism.  The author tried to pass an opinion piece off as reporting by dragging in a wholly-unrelated celebrity quote.

He provided the quote, then made personal commentary on the quote, which is the kind of thing one might do in a blog format.

Almost as exhausting as comments critiquing comments.  

“They don’t do colleges because their fees are too high for colleges to afford.”

Man, this isn’t a story it’s a sermon.

good lord this website sometimes...
