It seems as though the always crass, clever and comedic South Park has never been better as creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone lead Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman to tonight’s 200th show. From the episode “Medicinal Fried Chicken” two weeks ago (the town’s KFC is replaced by a medical marijuana dispensary leading to Stan’s dad giving himself testicular cancer and Cartman to a Scarface-like fried chicken habit) to last week’s episode “You Have 0 Friends” (Stan gets sucked into the Tron-centric world of Facebook, literally), the timely and scathing satire of South Park has far surpassed the likes of other adult oriented animated shows like Family Guy (random acts of unsophisticated comedy) and my beloved The Simpsons (sometimes solid but best days are behind them).

Tonight the gang get their just due as every celebrity the show has ever (hilariously) offended, from Tom Cruise to Kanye West to Mickey Mouse, exact their revenge on the town of South Park. Wednesday, April 14th at 10pm on Comedy Central.

Amazing what they teach kids in school these days. Parents allowing they’re kids to re-enact possibly the most f-bomb riddled movie ever? Really? I’d like to think I’m open enough to think this is totally awesome, which it is, but c’mon. Let’s think about what sort of affect this is going to have on those kids on stage.

For us who grew up on Scarface it’s cute and funny but what about those who didn’t? Our youngsters are growing up faster than we ever did. Our future is becoming more and more susceptible to the vulgarities once reserved for older crowds. Let’s rethink the effects we’re having on the younger set. Seriously.

*Now take the first letter of each sentence and spell yourself a secret.
