Watching South Park

Before this class I had never seen a full episode of South Park. When I was younger my parents did not completely ban me from watching the show, they just let my brother and I know that they strongly disapproved. The reason for me never watching the show was not my parents’ discouragement though, it was the fact that I was never exposed to it and didn’t have the desire to really go out of my way to view it. Now that I have been exposed to it and know a little more what the show is all about, I find myself interested and motivated to seek out more episodes. I never realized that South Park critiqued our media culture intelligently and in a way that is fascinating, entertaining, and funny.
