SOUTH PARK!!!
South Park had a new season start yesterday! Mr. Garrison got SRS with Dr. Beiber, and they showed REAL (not comic) footage! WHOA! I didn't like the spin they put on it though. At the end it turned out ok... but they made it look like a freakish operation! It was funny, but I didn't like the light they painted transpeople in. They repeatedly made fun of it, and I dunno, it kinda put me off. Alot. *sigh* I guess South Park mocks everything, but Transfolk are already painted in a poor light to get negative reactions after the show... *sigh* On the whole I think it was a negative, not positive influence on the general public concerning transsexualism... other parts WERE humorous... Kyle got a Negro-plasty (transracial), and his dad was transpecies, and became a dolphin! What the Hell!!!???
On the whole I think it was a hefty blow to transsexualism, with the average folks who tune into the show. A negative influence that was not needed, when we need to positively enforce that we ARENT freaks.
Anyone else see it and care to lend an opinion?
