I thought long and hard about seeing this one or not; not having Cable, all I know about South Park is it involves a lot of cussing and some guy named Kenny keeps dying. But when I heard it lampoons everybody, I decided to give it a chance.

As it turns out, it does indeed take on both sides. From overzealous actions against terrorists, to empty-headed liberal Hollywood actors siding with the Korean bad-guy King Jong Il. Whereas the old Thunderbirds used lighting and such to hide the strings and other blatant evidence of puppetry, here we have lighting used to make the strings stand out, if that gives you and idea of the level of satire here. Michael Moore filled with ham, too many well-known actors lampooned to hilarious effect, the world's worst Mideast-guy disguise, monuments getting blown up, and all wrapped up in a sort of musical (if you stay through the entire end-credits you'll here one additional song entitlted something like "I hate Alec Baldwin"), and Kim Jong Il wqith a voice sounding something like Cartman.

Heavy cussing aside, this film actually got a chuckle or two out of me, even the infamous scene involving puppet-sex (nothing anatomically correct there at all, just ordinary puppet parts). For most people, I'd recomend it for when it hits Cable, for at least one gander at it. It's not going to change anyone's mind regards a certain upcoming election, but it just might put a few things in perspective.
