Description


There are few modern animated television shows that could survive over a decade and a half and remain as funny... or as stupid... or as sick... or as depraved... today as when they started. Even fewer can claim to cater to mature audiences while their critics complain that everything about the show is immature. And fewer still where for the first decade or so one of the main characters was killed off every week. Then returned no worse for wear seven days later.ÞThat however is the world of ÊSouth ParkÊ and this is a book about that world. A journey through the lives times and catastrophes that have established the tiny mountain town of South Park Colorado as America's favorite dysfunctional community. A voyage into a universe where Barbra Streisand is reborn as a Japanese monster movie; where Kentucky Fried Chicken is a registered drug; where Canada is forever on a footing for war; and where we discover that even feces love Christmas. From Zebulon Pike to Chef from Brian Boitano to Mel Gibson from Super Best Friends to ÊSouth Park: Bigger Longer & UncutÊ it's all covered in ÊSouth Park FAQÊ. Featuring A-Z coverage of the all the characters readers have come to know and the stories behind the episodes it also includes an episode guide and an appendix of all of the songs featured in ÊSouth ParkÊ.ÞNothing is sacred and nobody is safe. Even physical and emotional disabilities are just another banana skin for someone to slip on and the term politically correct has been translated into oh good you're getting annoyed. It is a place where ... you get the picture. This is not ÊBambiÊ!
