Right on. It sounds to me that's what South Park was doing -- social commentary humor -- criticizing that we're all ok with the shootings, and everyone in the show is criticizing the mom for pointing out the horror of it.

Reminds me of when they had Christopher Reeves running around sucking the stemcells/brains out of babies. South Park was making fun of the use of baby stemcells to help people with spinal damage paralysis. This was a long time ago (if I'm remembering this correctly), but I got the impression SoutPark thought it was vampiric, and were against it, or least was pointing out the point of view, humorously (or line-crossingly), that it can be seen as vampiric and creepy.

Yeah I have seen the episode but that was just meant for shock value. This actually had a message behind it which made it more hardcore if you ask me. It's so sad that the things that are happening in this country do go ignored and those who try to raise awareness of it or keep it in public light or ridiculed. I imagine a world where people can use their brains.

You're not supposed to slide into a pizza wearing shorts. You should wear full pants. Or maybe you're allergic to olives.
