Just noticed a huge plot-hole

At the USO Show, Big Gay Al performs his big musical number and at the end shows his naked penis to the entire audience, which includes children. Kyle's mom, who started the whole war because she doesn't like sex, nudity and potty mouth, doesn't even care! What a gaping plot hole, I can't believe I never noticed this in the 100+ times I watched the movie. Other than that it's relatively flawlessly plotted, but because of that on principle I'm changing my rating from 10 to 0. It's just NOT a perfect film.

This is not a plot hole because big gay Al's dick has zero to do with the plot.

The film is about placing blame on something other than parenting for children's behavior. The world already had a scapegoat in Terrance and Phillip. They didn't need anything else

Yes, it is a plot-hole because it's inconsistent characterization and it takes me out of the movie.

Inconsistent characterization is bad directing, not a plot hole - for the reasons already given

The audience does include children but it's only the boys, and the parents don't know the kids are there yet. They were still undercover and trying to free Terrance and Phillip.

Seeing as how it was a USO show for soldiers and the parents didn't know the boys were there, this isn't really a plot hole at all in my opinion.

I do see what you're saying though, I imagine the parents would probably still be against that. But as the other poster stated it really just was so far away from the plot and just a funny song and joke.

So Kyle's mom organizes a USO show, and her co-host is a homosexual singing stripper? I have so many problems with this... I mean, EVERY SINGLE THING about the movie makes perfect, logical sense, and it's really a perfect movie besides that one problem. Kyle's mom is supposed to be the realistic human character we all sympathize with, and that balancing act is not achieved through this inconsistent characterization.

I think you misunderstood some things from the movie/show.

I don't think Al has ever been meant to be a stripper, that was just an eccentric, random, one-time, silly dance type thing. So it's not like Sheila was hanging with a stripper. He also said he wasn't prepared for the song and dance, so how would Sheila know? It's not like she participated in it or something either.

I don't think Kyle's mom is anti-gay either so I'm not sure what you're pointing out by saying he's homosexual, singer, stripper etc.

I also don't think Kyle's mom is supposed to be the character we sympathize with, isn't she the opposite? She caused WWIII and blasts T&P in the face with a gun in front of her kids after trying to electrocute them and also ignores her kids to go on her crusade. She's supposed to be the irrational, bad-person character of the movie.

I guess you would sympathize with her if you are a bible thumper who thinks South Park is evil.

Sheila's big thing during the movie is that she's against potty-mouth cartoons aimed at kids. She still does adult things and wouldn't necessarily be against something like what happened at the USO show as long as no kids are around. As said before, she was under the impression there were no kids at the USO show.

It's not necessarily a plot hole. It's meant to be ironic. It shows how we can be so hypocritical and oblivious to dangerous situations when trying to prove a point. All we focus on is destroying something or someone so we can be right, when meanwhile there is something much more worthwhile to be fighting for.

I wouldn't say that's a plot hole.

Kyle's mom's point was that "dirty words" aren't ok. That's all the film was about.
