#22I'm not a South Park fan, but that ban got my interested so I watched the episode (Yeah, that episode is banned in China and few "reposter"s has been warned for posting South Park related contents).
Few days ago, a guy been sent to jail for 7 days because he was complaining the National Day military parade, saying something like "A civilized nation turn machine into soldier; a rouge nation turn soldier into machine". And he's not the only one been sent to jail for similar reason.
This country is not taking any critic any more. Cultural Revolution 2.0 Global Edition anybody?

#23i wonder if China has copied SP and if so how they would portray the USA. Has anything been made like this? And is it just as funny?
Unlike China, Americans make enough fun of themselves, and are not censored. SNL is exactly what you're proposing.
I grew up watching SNL when Eddie Murphy was playing Buckwheat.. but that’s not the same as a real comedic attempt by a foreign power at satirizing us -;) there must be something online...

#25I'm amazed at how South Park after 23 seasons can make me laugh out loud repeatedly while combining classic south parkisms with hilarious satire of current events. I'm a big south park fan and these 2 episodes so far have been on point.
I'm not saying they don't have a political leaning, but they often focus their energy and 22 minutes on showing just how wildly absurd a situation is. For me, that's a big ingredient in why they've stayed so entertaining.
They're also a big proponent of bothsideism. For some topics that makes sense (because there are two legitimate or legitimately absurd sides). For other topics it just pollutes discourse by elevating an illegitimate side.

It wouldn't load for me, even after dis-abling my ad blocker. You can download it with youtube-dl, however, and view it that way.

#27One of the protest footage was actually from Turkey when they mention excessive police brutality at China.
Not sure why you're being downvoted. You're right.

I agree: GP reads like spun/machine-generated content.

#30Please explain like I'm five. What's the social status of SP in the USA? E.g. what do Chomsky, Obama, Trump, Chelsea Clinton, Fox news think about it? How come there are no rage firings because of it?
