Yet another example of horrific things to escape from America Lite....
They pretty much killed South Park for me.

South Park has been dead for me for a while. Shock comedy can only go so long before it becomes Dead Baby comedy, as it constantly tries to 1 up itself. Dead Baby comedy gets unfunny pretty quick, and starts to become just gross. South Park arrived at that point a long time ago for me.

I resent that, dead baby jokes are hilarious.

How do they take the piss out of cancer?

I like them because, well, I like fart humor, and when they aren't farting on each other, they're actually really smart. In the episode when Canada goes on strike, Terrance and Phillip calculated exactly how much money Canada lost. There's also an episode where Phillip goes off and does Shakespeare.

You also have to keep in mind that it's not just Terrance and Phillip on that show. EVERYONE on that show makes fun of EVERYTHING. No one is spared and none of it is meant to be taken seriously. At all. If you're taking it seriously, you're doing it wrong.

One episode one of them was dying of rectal cancer, and the entire episode made light of a very serious disease. If you had lost someone close to this terrible disease, you would have found that episode a very painful thing to watch.

I don't think I could ever say "rectal cancer" with a straight face. Anyway, it's called "black humor", tease. Some people like it, some don't, and if you're watching something that patently offends you then that's your own fault.

South Park WAS funny to begin with, but it tried too hard to shock as the series went on.
As for saying Rectal Cancer with a straight face, problems with the rectal area are some of the WORST things that can medically go wrong in a body.
Finally both myself and Tease have black humor.

Now to chance pace, I personally want to smack the game designers of Wolfenstein, they gave the lead character the most dumb nickname "BeJay" which is used at every chance, yet this is the same character from Return to Castle Wolfenstein and you where always refered to by the surname.
WTF ?

What!? Game designers taking a classic title and making a terrible spin off!?
