Why I’m A South Park Fan Today

The media loves stories of courage.

Kudos to Matt Parker and Trey Stone for living it.

The media loves stories of courageous journalists.

Shame on Comedy Central and Jon Stewart for NOT living it.

South Park DoomsdayThere are a few moments in life when we truly are at a crossroads, times when we will show either courage or passivity. Swallow the red pill or the blue pill. Stand up for right, or opt for the status quo.

When “Oh, my God! They killed Kenny!” has become “Oh my God! They killed Theo Van Gogh!”, or could become “Oh my God! They killed Parker & Stone!”, the stakes are high.

In a media world of feigned outrage and faux “courage”, South Park’s creators showed true courage. Well done.
