Have any of you ever been offended by something that was said or done on South Park? Did they do anything that made you think - "Dude! That's NOT cool."

I love South Park, and I'm a hard guy to offend in general, but that episode where they "red rocketed" dogs ...Dude!

So when, if ever, did they go too far for you guys?
 
If South Park has offended your beliefs at one time or another...Well, then you really don't have any beliefs worth having, do you?

For me, "Scott Tenorman must Die" crossed the line. That ending--that--that was just wrong! The episode was funny, but it took me a long time to get over that ending. ...More recently, I changed the channel a couple minutes into "Bloody Mary." Still haven't seen it in full, and honestly don't care to. In fact, that really applies to season 9 as a whole. There were some good eps there ("Ginger Kids") but wetween Blood Mary and the Garrison episodes...Just isn't worth the money to have the DVDs.

And on a local level, I was furious that the Redwings won in "Stanley's Cup." I mean, the Redwings?! Come on! That's like loosing to the Chiefs! Or the Raiders! ...Or the Red Sox. *bangs head on wall*
 
The only thing that offends me on this show is how much abuse Butters takes. Other than that, no, I find every little twisted thing they do hilarious.
 
I agree. That ending really was screwed up. As for the "Bloody Mary" episode, a co-worker stopped watching the show completely after seeing it.



That's another thing I don't quite care for. I was especially upset when he took that shuriken in the eye. I won't ever watch that episode again.
 
I didn't love it when they did the Christopher Reeve episode, but since I do like South Park and it's meant to be absurd and exaggerated, I give it a lot of passes.
 
Simply because South Park takes such strong jabs at every single possible denomination, minority, special interest group, religion in the same exact way while always having a somewhat impactful moral at the heart of the episode, nothing they've ever done or could do, would ever offend me.

The closest they ever got was with Terry Schiavo, but if you read my post from that episode when it aired, as offended as I was getting I knew the episode would end with a moral that would make it all go away.
 
Well, I didn't appreciate Jesus being in Imaginationland, but if you're going to enjoy a show when it pokes fun at everyone else, you have to learn to laugh when it's your turn.
 
It offends me for a brief while (like the Passion of the Jew or Bloody Mary), but then I realise those episodes' merits and then I'm no longer offended by them.
 
I felt the same way. I also remember when he cursed in that Mexican Staring Frog episode. They crossed a line with that, but I couldn't help but crack up about it first. That's probably because it was so out of left field.
 
Exactly, I feel exactly the same way. South Park makes fun of EVERYBODY. If you laugh at a Jew joke it's only fair that you laugh at a Christian or catholic joke as well, it's kinda how the creators think.
 
Well, as Kyle said in that one ep., either all of it is ok, or none of it is. I watch Family Guy and SP all the time, as does my sister, and we're both black. And there is never a shortage of jokes aimed at our people, but we still crack up, because we know how the creators are and what their true opinions on stuff is.
 
How is that offensive? I thought that was the cutest, most innocent joke in the episode aside from the "Pitfall" bit. A major world religion hailing a giant, talking spider is too silly to be anything hurtful.
 
I really don't get that offended at anything really. Though I will admit there were probably a few times with the show when I would say to myself "dude, that is so wrong," but I'll usually laugh it off. But the only one I recall saying that was with the episode where Cartman took a picture of himself sucking Butter's wiener.
 
I don't get offended, and I've never understood what makes other people get offended at stuff. They could show babies being violently eaten alive by kittens and hamsters, whilst engaging in crude sexual acts, and it wouldn't bother me at all.
 
I have been watching south park for awhile now and while I can say nothing has made me offended but my jaw did drop during the new season. When Cartman called Kyle a "kike" I almost did a spit take, I really didnt expect that one.

~EDIT~ Being raised partial jewish and having family members that lived through the holocaust, I really dont belive that words like kike should be thrown around so lightly but thats what south park does. It pushes buttons and raises the bar but like I said it didn't offend me it just surprised me alittle.
 
Only thing that really offended me was that episode where they go skiing at that time share, and Cartman gives Butters a "Hitler" poop moustache. Well, it didn't so much offend me as much as totally grossed me out.
 
I'm not a real religious person, and have a pretty high threshhold for "offensive" material. However, Mr. Garrison teaching sex ed and condom use to his class of kindergarteners was just... OH MY GOD!!!!!!
