SQUEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!!!

I wonder what actual victims of rape think about all these pathetic little boys using something as serious as sexual assault as a metaphor for their disappointment with something as subjective as a movie. So you didn't like it? Big deal. A lot of people, who spend more time either working and/or raising families than dissecting & over-analyzing every single thing Lucas (and Spielberg) does, loved it because it was fun, pretension free escapism. Get over it & move on.

yaaay for your first comment. Now Get over it & move on.

:)

South Park is a serie tht laughs at nething, they use idiot things as metaphors, thts south park. now stop cryin bout ur petty movie, u lil spaz'

lighten up mate

Still inappropriate is inappropriate. And while I never been raped (thank God) I can't think of it ever being acceptable of making a point by using rape. Yea I love South Park and I know South Park always push the envelope but still we all know better. They're(the creators)grown men and since I doubt they've ever been raped so they'll never know how that is.

Hear hear Marty J.

It is possible that they're actually making fun of those "pathetic little boys" as Stan sure looks like an idiot here.

The over-analyzing store just called...... they ran out of YOU

HA HA

quite brilliant, internerds think it out there and hola - it appears there on South Park.

I thought it was classic, cause that's pretty much what they did to a cinematic masterpiece. Destroy every enjoyable minute of it purely for Lucas and Spielberg's own selfish reasons. It was obvious from the first minute of Indi 4 that was purely created soley for MONETARY REASONS. They 'raped' the cinematic masterpiece and replaced it with a nuked fucking fridge. Fuck Lucas, fuck Spielberg, Fuck Koepp. Many thanks go to SP for calling them out on that atrocity of a movie. And if you are offended by SP using 'rape' to spread their message, you obviously have never watched South Park before.

@Marty J:
Cereal box pyschologist

that episode was so funny

They was nothing fun about that movie. Have you never watched a episode of south park? This is what they do...they make cartoon gold! A classic episode, loved every minute of it!

Pure comedic brilliance. Not the first time that South Park went after Speilberg and Lucas (see: "Improving" ET, and getting killed when trying to show the "improved" Raiders of the Lost Ark) so its obvious Parker and Stone have always been against ruining classic movies, they just took the reviews and comments we made literally.

Graphic episode, making it all the more effective. Disturbingly HALARIOUS.

Marty J: Those community college psychology classes going well? Calm down its South Park, no where near as bad as The Passion of the Jew.

Haha, i hate south park.

I've watched every episode of South Park and loved almost every one of them, so don't think I'm new to Parker and Stone ripping on everything under the sun, but I think this episode went too far. It's one thing to SAY that the movie was raped, keeping it metaphorically was funny, but to show someone actually being raped (cartoon or not) is just disturbing. I really hope all the new episodes aren't all about shock value like that.

South park RULES, & 4 the rest of U steven & lucas lovers,I'll shoot u in the dick :),GREAT EPISODE!!
I think they did rape him hahhaha lmao

I understand what you're saying Marty but I'd like you to consider that South Park is probably the only show on television to push the envelope to make a point, even if in this case it was only to say that Indy 4 was made for the wrong reasons. The other part to this episode has Cartman and Butters dressed up and looking like something on a box of Cherry Clan candy (which is just Cherry Head Candy now) and going to P F Changs.

There's a difference between plain out offensive television with no purpose (see DRAWN TOGETHER) and crafted television. Though offensive, it's for a reason. Be glad there's still television that makes you squirm and be thankful it wasn't made just to piss people off.

I give a lot of credit to South Park for keeping an edge and not being afraid to make a social commentary. They're using the voice they've been given. In my opinion, whether you agree with that voice or not is less important than the idea of recognizing the voice at all.

You need to understand their use of parody here. They're not really making fun of rape itself, but instead using Hollywood's representation of it to point out what slimeballs like Lucas and Spielberg do for a living.

I can't believe posters are actually admonishing Stone and Parker for using rape for laughs. Haven't we developed our sense of humour beyond this? Anyone seriously offended by this must be strangled by their own apprehensions or religious zeal. No self-respecting intellectual would be bothered by something so innocuous and mild.

Marty...

Does Indy look happy in this scene?
Enjoying himself?
Having a happy time?

Didn't think so.

Also:
It's SP, so who gives a crap

Did anyone notice the title? This isn't about the rapage of Indy, it's about the GOD DAMN CHINESE!!!!! SOMEONE HAS TO STOP THEM!!!!!!!!

LOL, I love South Park. I cant lie I actually kind enjoyed Kingdom, yes it was a CGI FEST with some lame dialogue and lack of character development but I found it overall entertaining.

Lol...

As a rape victim, I thought the entire episode was disgusting. The chinese plot was BORING... (yeah, I get it.. Butters tends to shoot people in the dick.)

But the vivid rape scenes over and OVER and OVER... it was just.. sophmoric.

I think the worst scene was seeing George Lucas's face get red.

I don't know.. I'm very confused right now. I am probably the most avid South Park fan I know... I defended the Bloody Mary episode to my dad (and actually got him to see the humor in it.)

I've defended episodes at work to religious nuts with meager success... but you're not going to make me like this episode.

I hate to say it, but they're really going downhill. It feels like the show is turning from comedy to purely social commentary. I didn't crack a smile during the entire episode, and rarely at all last season. (3 episodes for that imagination land?! wtf!?)

This whole episode was just awful - and a shitty way to start a season. I'll keep watching, of course, but probably just to confirm that they're dead on air. Matt and Trey - don't worry.. I'd have run out of ideas by now, too.

I dunno, you're sounding like a hypocrit to me. You've been telling all your friends how great south park is, etc etc, so you obviously enjoy its style of humour and use of metaphores, but as soon as it touches a subject thats affected you personally, NOW you want to start crying? Thats pretty messed up to me.......you defended the bloody mary episode, yet you're offended enough about the chinese episode's portrayal of METAPHORIC rape enough to slate a show that you're supposed to be (and I quote) "an avid fan"? You're a fucking hypocrit.....do you know how many religious people were probably offended by your defense of the bloody mary episode? And now you're looking for some sympathy because they finally did ONE topic that affects you personally. Man, just fuck off with that shit and grow up.

You just don't understand Marty *starts crying* you just......don't.....:'(

Jeez butter's. You DONT SHOOT A GUY IN THE DICK!

Harro Preez

LOL

My only qualm... Why was Spielberg ON TOP??? They always go from behind in prison movies...

Good call Josh, didn't anyone notice that Cartman used every stereotype in the book to make fun of the Chinese and some of you are complaining about the raping threesome of George Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Indiana Jones. SHOCK VALUE people, it's what they do, it's what they have always done, and it's what they will continue to do. Either join the FCC and do something about it yourself or get out of the way and let them continue to portray the world in a humorous light. Maybe they haven't been removed from TV because sometimes their message conveyed seem to be pretty believable and justified.

BY THE WAY: after the the first definition of RAPE in the dictionary which is the unforced sex one, 3. Abusive or improper treatment or VIOLATION or abuse . . . get your mind outta the gutter. I'm pretty sure Spielberg and Lucas did give the Indiana Jones franchise improper treatment and definitely abused it. I didn't even see the stupid movie, I already knew it was going to be trash.

U pwn.

Don't you people know anything?

The reason they made this particular Indiana Jones movie a children’s film is so they can create a entirely new generation of fans/consumers.

Now they can sell a new line of merchandise, from sleeping bags to plastic toys and everything in between.

The formula for the most recent batch of Star Wars movies was exactly the same. It's the happy meal concept. Get them when their kids, and they'll buy your crap their entire lives....just like you.

@Enrique

Harrison Ford has beautiful eyes.

I'm a huge Trey Parker/Matt Stone fan, and I have loved everything they've ever done (Cannibal! The Musical anyone?)...

I'm never offended by things they do, but last night's episode, well... not offensive...

but incredibly fucked up.

We all know what is happening to our beloved movies in todays hollywood. the genius of originality is gone for the most part and we get lowest common denominator pandering crap like Indy4. There is still decent stuff out there but it usually is not in mainstream movies. Yhere are exception the excellent "The Dark Knoght" and "Iron Man".

Although it may be hard for some to watch that scene. Trey and Matt, I think expressed of how they felt after seeing a movie that was so special to them being whored out. I say kudos South Park.

I can understand crude humor, but that isn't even funny, just disturbing.

Sometimes comedians use rape as incidental part of the joke (i.e. Patton Oswalt's 'Rape Stove' punchline to his bit on Death Bed). But in this instance, Parker and Stone were trying to get laughs from you actually watching Lucas and Spielberg RAPE someone. South Park is all about making the figurative literal, but in this instance, it wasn't funny. It was just disturbing.

Anyway-- people who were disappointed in Indiana Jones 4 need to calm down and move on. Parker, Stone-- you dudes are rational. Just breathe.

I think all of y'all need to move on, 3 pages bout some rapescenes in South park, its what they do, grow a brain or dont watch it, they've mocked pretty much every religion, every country and every lyfestyle and u only get offended by indiana jones ( a fictional character even) gettin raped?

South Park hasn't been funny for a while now, and it's annoying to watch. It'd be funny if Indy was replaced by a average TV viewer and Lucas and Spielberg with Stone and Parker.

i havent seen it by the looks of it its funny ahaha SSSEEEEEEEEEE MY SPOILERS ON SPIDERMAN4 TRANSFORMERS2 IRONMAN2.....PLZ U GUYS

I LOL'd because it was so unexpected and out the blue (from the beginning). I got a good laugh last night.

I love SP and I think the creators should be allowed to do whatever they please. usually, it's brilliant or at least silly enough for me to chuckle. unfortunately, rape for me is a no-go-area. so, to please me, they could have made their point by letting indy put on a micky mouse costume or whatever, but they should have avoided rape. but the point about SP is that they don't care about you or me. they really don't. they do what they think is funny, and they like it even better if it is crude. and actually I like that about SP.
so I just look away, say 'oh no', and keep watching. just like me, all of you should just get over it.
(@enrique: use your imagination. or watch the oscar wilde biopic with stephen fry. a good movie and apparently a good way to learn about copulation techniques.)

"I love SP and I think the creators should be allowed to do whatever they please. usually, it’s brilliant or at least silly enough for me to chuckle. unfortunately, rape for me is a no-go-area."

So you had no problem with Matt & Trey doing other episodes and using subjects such as starving children, molestation, racism, prostitution, mutilation, incest, or murder. But rape it out of the question? Why's that?

For the most part I think what Matt & Trey do is because they do care. There's a brilliant underlying path for it's way of story-telling. The problem is the stigma of people only thinking that something or anything "animated" has to be done a certain way. What I never understood is when someone has no problem with them using topics like this, which they have done for years. But when a specific act or term is used as a metaphor for something not really having to do with the act itself. People get bent out of shape for it...now?

I thought it was a brilliant episode. There's nothing different in what they did in last night's episode to what they did in any other episode.

(by the way, rape has been used before in SP. It's nothing new. People only think so because it involved Spielberg, Lucas, and IJ.)

That went too far.

Not funny.

Disturbing.

@captain awesome:
honestly speaking, I haven't been the best lover to the series I love. I am well in my 30s and don't watch every episode. so I can't really discuss with you why other episodes didn't bother me, because I lack the encyclopaedic knowledge of yours: I probably just didn't see them. however, I pointed out that rape is a no-go-area for me personally, and maybe that's just my business? if you had read the comment carefully, you would have seen that I didn't say rape is out of the question. check again, maybe you will even see, that I said that it is my problem and all people who feel disturbed bof this particular episode because of their personal disposition, just like me, should get over it, and, as you even quoted, einstein: "the creators should be allowed to do whatever they please". choose someone else to point a finger at, clever richard. and, oh yes, they do care about you. we all do.

I agree with menotrouble, I just shut my eyes and said to myself, I can't believe this is on TV! Then kept watching. It's South Park. This isn't the first time that they have hit on touchy subjects, and I am certain it won't be the last.

You say they should be allowed to do what they want but gave advice on how they should have gone about it? I'm obviously missing something here I guess.

If you can look away and let them do what they want. Why bother giving a route they "should" have gone instead of using "rape" as a device to tell their story? It's obvious some subjects they use will strike a chord with people. You don't have a problem with it, but you do have a problem with it basically. It does sound like you haven't seen much of the other episodes if you think rape was used for this reason only or before. I'm not going to question anyone's knowledge on the show. But don't walk into a discussion about a show with a no-holds barred design and cherry-pick that they went too far.

"and, oh yes, they do care about you. we all do."

What?

Also menotrouble

You never answered my question. Why are the other subjects "ok" with you and not rape?

If you're fine with something showcasing those other topics. Then there shouldn't be a problem with any other. This feels like the American view of sex over violence, which never made a lick of sense to me.

Violence = A-OK
Sex = NO

Pure Genius!
