South Park disses Occupy

A recent episode of South Park poked fun of the "Occupy" movement, suggesting they are wasting their time, and will not make a difference.

South Park is one of the only intelligent shows on TV. However it lacks an ethical standpoint. It stands for nothing. This is what prevents it from ever being art. By being beneath art, it will not stand the test of time.

To be both highly intelligent yet devoid of meaning is the greatest of all evils

Using "comedy" as an excuse to get away with having no ideals is the same as saying "it's a kids show" to get away with bad writing. Ethics always belongs everywhere.

Comedy is that much more funny when it has that much more of an ethical point because it is then that much more realistic thus able to relate to.
