Why South Park rocks

I just saw on CNN that a woman in Minnesota got fined an incredible $1.9 million for downloading songs from the internet. That's $80,000 per song. Wow! Just the other day, I was watching this South Park episode "Christian Rock Band", which addresses the exact same issue in a hilarious way. Watch it if you have time. Here's the link (no, it's not an illegal link, it's from their website).

People who do not know any thing about South Park think it's some kids show. Nothing could be farther from the truth. In fact, it's assigned an adult rating. The way it presents two sides to the current issues going on in America is amazing. Some times, its based on the weird issues going on. And there is some weird issue or the other going on in America all the time. Seriously, think of it. In which other country are abortions and gay marriages election issues? And some other times, it talks about serious issues like the Iraq war. That particular episode that talks about Iraq war is brilliant. Every one must watch it. These words from that episode are classical. "We go to war and protest going to war at the same time. We can go to war with whomever we wish but at the same time act like we didn't want to."
I think it's the 100th episode. Check it out here
