Reaction: South Park upsets Britons
Although not as politically salient as some of my other posts, I found this video on YouTube and couldn't help but comment on it. What this news report fails to mention is that the episode was a spoof of the FOX television show "24" which often throws wild twists and turns into its plots. The episode was more focused on how we shouldn't always look at the usual suspects when investigating terrorist activities (Muslims and Russians) because you never know who is planning to attack next. England was only involved in the last 2 minutes of the episode and as I mentioned before was merely a spoof on a popular plot device "24" uses making a wild, unexpected jump from the show's course which had been fairly steady up to that point. So thanks ITV for your one-sided news reporting slandering our FICTIONAL television ENTERTAINMENT (ie: not real).
