Trey Parker and Matt Stone were expecting lots of controversy after the 11th season-premiere of “South Park,” which aired last night.
Boy, are they going to get it.
Before I tell you about it, a big disclosure: I am a black man.
Stan’s dad gets on “Wheel of Fortune” and makes it to the bonus round. After picking his consonants and a vowel, these are the letters that are displayed:
N _ G G E R S
Yep.
The audience looks shocked. The black camerman looks angry. Pat and Vanna aren’t nervous. Stan’s dad doesn’t want to say it, but he says the “N” word.
I was laughing the whole time. Well, after a few declarations of “Oh my God.” Turns out the word was “naggers,” and it was quite funny that Stan’s dad didn’t think of it.
Later, he’s sent to Jesse Jackson’s office to apologize. Stan’s dad wants to, so Jesse is ready to accept … by dropping his pants so Randy can kiss his butt.
Yep.
There’s always a lesson. And here, I think it was about trying to be understanding and how controversies like this get out of hand. But I was too busy laughing to hear it.
I bet Matt and Trey are going to be kissing some butt soon. Or not. They’ve gotten away with blasting Streisand and Mel Gibson. Jesse Jackson is just a ripple in their pond.

As for Sarah Silverman… she IS NOT funny! I can’t wait for the day her stupid program gets cancelled. She is as funny as a disease! She doesn’t offend me; she annoys me w/her sense of humor… or lack there of.

While South Park is great, Sarah Silverman is even better! She is a great comedienne, like a female Eddie Murphy almost. Also she is foxy as all get-out.

how true too? you can be a racist piece of shit, but as long as you kiss Jesse’s ass, you’re good.
On the other hand, you can be a good corporate citizen or school or city or… what have you, but if Jesse smells $$$ in your pocket, his Rainblow Pushers will come in and rough you up until you pay out – or, you know, give his kids a big beer distributor….
maybe next year’s premier can have Jesse gettin funky with one of the SP cows…
