Goin' down to South Park....

There is nothing more to say than this: South Park's season finale Christmas special, which I just caught on TiVo, is a work of genius. Can any more be said? Can I extrapolate on the brilliance of the conceit, to dress up the show as a boring old kid's special featuring saccharine "woodland critters" who dance and sing the most repetitive holiday songs but then to suddenly twist that conceit Into itself, to have those critters become the devil's spawn, to have Santa wielding a shotgun, to feature an extended lesson on how to perform abortions ... can I extrapolate on that brilliance? I cannot. No writing could justify the brilliance. Folks, trust me on this: Watch this show. You'll thank me for it.

And in case you haven't seen their movie, "Bigger, Longer and Uncut," it's a hoot, too. War on Canada to keep smutty language from kids, Satan-Saddam affair ...
Warning: lots of smutty language.
