Science fiction like Jurassic Park and Minority Report, while admittedly freaky, are also very intriguing from a ‘hypothetical’ standpoint. It’s when you see the consequences of the abusive use of the science that it starts to get really scary.
That’s kind of how I feel about this little discovery. But this one is real.

Tonight — at 10pm ET — the politics- and news-charged satirical cartoon, “South Park,” begins its ninth season of, as Yahoo TV guide puts it innocently enough, “The adventures of four boys who live in South Park, Colorado.”
Along with the happy news that Comedy Central plans to carry its top-rated show “into infinity,” the New York Times offers up a tribute to tonight’s premiere and its creators. Oh, and that “into infinity” phrase is not a quote from a CC executive; that’s the Times’s description of the show’s possible longevity.
“Mr. Stone and Mr. Parker bristle … ‘Now it’s like, ‘What’s “South Park” going to do this week about Hurricane Katrina?” Mr. Stone said. ‘I don’t know what we’re going to do. …’ (They may complain, but they can’t help themselves: on tonight’s episode, a beaver dam breaks, causing a flood in a neighboring town. Assigning blame becomes the top priority.)”

I figure I’d better post this cartoon before the other shoe drops on the Bush Administration. If it does at all, of course. I’m trying not to get all keyed up about it because the infamous “Kerry’s ahead in the exit polls” incident is still fresh in my memory and I don’t want to feel that kind of trauma again.
Still, “interesting times” could be upon us very soon.
Hope you like tonight’s cartoon!

P.S. – I feel a little “sheepish” asking about this, but are there other web sites out there that would also enjoy these cartoons? Getting my voice heard here has been very gratifying and so I’ve decided that I’d like to see if I can widen the cartoon’s audience. Thanks!
