Do you threaten with violence or with clout?

terry78 · 10-29-2006, 12:46 AM

When someone does you wrong, or does wrong to someone you know, do you immediately go with the, "i'm going to kick their ass" response, or do you prefer to be more calculating, and do something more cerebral to them if you have the power to do so? I remember one instance in high school a friend of mine had a sister who was dating some jock dude and he was basically bragging about how he "hit it from the back" to everyone at school. Instead of attempting to physically assault the dude(mostly due to him being larger and having an entourage), he actually went to his coach and said he saw him smoking weed several times, which was actually true, and in turn, got him in massive trouble since drugs are a no-no in high school athletics apparantly. He still has no idea who did it to this day.

How about threatening no one?

OMG--they killed Irwin!

The creators of South Park have never been afraid to upset celebrities - and many of the show's viewers.

From jokes about religion and homosexuality to four-letter tirades, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have always mixed shock tactics with satire in the hit cartoon series.

But they were accused of hitting a new low last night after lampooning the demise of Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin just weeks after his death.

The latest episode shows an animated Irwin in Hell with a stingray poking out of his bleeding chest.

Irwin, 44, died in September after he was impaled by a stingray's barb, while snorkelling near the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

The South Park episode called Hell On Earth 2006, which was broadcast in the US this week, shows Satan preparing to host a Hallowe'en fancy dress party.

Hundreds of dead celebrities are invited, including rapper Notorious B.I.G., Princess Diana and Hitler.

But at the party Satan receives complaints from his guests that someone is inappropriately dressed up as Irwin.

Satan confronts Irwin but the Aussie environmentalist protests it is really him, not a guest in a costume.

While characters have been killed off in the series before – spawning the show's catchphrase "Oh my god, they killed Kenny!" – campaigners are particularly incensed about the stingray still being attached to Irwin's bloodstained trademark khaki shirt.

British broadcasting watchdog Mediawatch condemned the episode as "grossly insensitive."

Its director, John Beyer, said: "I think this is in bad taste. Steve Irwin's family are still grieving."

"To lampoon somebody's death like that is unacceptable and so soon after the event is grossly insensitive. It is not what the family would want to see."
South Park maker Comedy Central defended the episode. A spokesman said: "It has offended people in the past and probably will again. Regular watchers would not be shocked."

I think it should be obvious that Parker & Stone have no empathy or tact.

People are usually quick to fight people smaller or weaker than them. It's pretty sad.

Well, I'm more of a mastermind when it comes to revenge. I did help some jack ass jock not graduate high school.

I usually use a mixture of violence and f***ing with their heads.
