Subject Matter in South Park

Subject Matter In South Park

South Park has attempted to cover and satirize a large number of topics over the course of its run. In more recent years, the use of computer animation has made it possible to edit episodes in days, quickly commenting on recent events (Elián González, 2000 U.S. presidential election, the capture of Saddam Hussein, the election of Barack Obama etc.). The creators also have engendered a mix of socially liberal and fiscally conservative viewpoints, espousing a libertarian ideology in both real life and on the show. However, the show's creators call themselves "equal opportunity offenders", and reject the notion that they are trying to put forth any consistent ideological agenda through the show.

Famous quotes containing the words subject, matter, south and/or park:

    “For an introvert his environment is himself and can never be subject to startling or unforeseen change.”
    —Quentin Crisp (b. 1908)

    “In most cases a favorite writer is more with us in his book than he ever could have been in the flesh; since, being a writer, he is one who has studied and perfected this particular mode of personal incarnation, very likely to the detriment of any other. I should like as a matter of curiosity to see and hear for a moment the men whose works I admire; but I should hardly expect to find further intercourse particularly profitable.”
    —Charles Horton Cooley (1864–1929)

    “Mormon colonization south of this point in early times was characterized as “going over the Rim,” and in colloquial usage the same phrase came to connote violent death.”
    —State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)

    “The park is filled with night and fog,
    The veils are drawn about the world,”
    —Sara Teasdale (1884–1933)
