RE: The Waldo Moment

Having seen the show and reading your reviews just made me realize what I do not like about the cartoon South Park. While I realize that Matt and Tre have had excellent resolutions in their show and have occasionally tackled issues in a daring and unique way, I feel as if the net effect was to lower the level of discourse to potty humour and political cynicism.

If you feel the objective is precisely to parody the situation and make fun of how absurd it is so on that note I'd say they've been wildly successful.

If you feel the objective is to create intellectual discourse on a situation then I don't think you're watching the same South Park that we are.
