As a life-long fanatic of South Park and it's creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, I feel an intimate connection with the show and the beautifully inscribed subtext in each episode.

    their opinions differ from others. South Park is a notorious paragon tackling censorship boundaries with brilliant wordplay every episode and implementing freedom of speech. For me, the program serves as a weekly litmus test of censorship and freedom of expression. South Park is the brainchild of college friends Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
