Parker and Stone BADLY MISCALCULATED with the Panama scene


My point is, Park and Stone should not have depicted a fictional bombing of the Panama Canal and then show dozens of dead bodies floating in the water, when just a very short while later, the 2004 Tsunami would kill many times more people the same way.

Put it this way, in the UK, neither I nor ANYONE in my theatre when we saw the Panama scene laughed or smiled even once, considering the ramifications of recent events.

I know now that Parker and Stone couldn't have anticipated such horrors, and the Panama bombing in this film was the result of human action rather than nature, but I still think my point stands: we shouldn't make light of mass human death in any way.

You are the reason satire exists.

Eat shit. You don’t get to tell anyone what they shouldn’t make light of. It’s a goddamn comedy movie with puppets. Get over it.

You must be fun at parties.
