I've got a post up on In Media Res (part of the Media Commons site) on South Park. Please check it out. It's in reference to an essay I've written about South Park as carnivalesque sitcom, and the carnivalesque as a cultural mode which can treat controversial content while appealing across political categories...basically.
The essay is part of a book I'm co-editing with Jonathan Gray and Jeffrey Jones, currently titled The State of Satire and the Politics of TV Parody. If you can come up with a snappier title, I'm all ears! We just got a contract from NYU Press, happily.
Anyway, check out the clip and comment. The clip is actually from a CNN story about the "Snuke" episode of the show.
IS A SNUKE IN A SNIZ MORE THAN A SNUKE IN A SNIZ?
