Harry and Meghan are not happy with South Park
« on: February 20, 2023, 11:07:20 AM »
South Park hit the nail on the head. Exactly as I see them  :rofl:

South Park savages Meghan and Harry as ‘dumb and stupid’ Prince and Princess who scream ‘we want privacy’ during tour promoting his book ‘Waaagh’ (and even mentions his frostbitten blue penis)
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11756953/South-Park-aims-Meghan-Harry-cartoon-Canadian-prince-princess-yell-want-privacy.html

But they're not happy about it.

Are Harry and Meghan planning to sue makers of South Park? Royal commentators claim lawyers for duke and duchess are 'casting an eye' over animated sitcom after it savaged them in 'The Worldwide Privacy Tour' episode

I've not watched South Park in some years, but that is one I really would like to see.

I am SO freaking tired of those two, and the Royal family in general.

Tough cookies. They wanted to be noticed. They got noticed. Deal with it.

I have no animosity towards the current English royal family today (well . . . most of them.  ;)  ) but that may be because as an American I don't particularly care about them one way or another. As for Mr. & Mrs. Markel and their perpetually preposterous whining, I find them simply irrelevant . . . and boring to boot.

If Megan was a Rorschach test the first word to pop into my head would be vapid.

I have heard that she was trying to lay the ground work to run for President.  I assume she thought she could do it after seeing Trump do it ( :laugh:).  Maybe it was seeing Kamala Harris become VP.

No, I have no animosity toward them, either... I'm just tired of hearing about them. We don't have a King or a Queen, yet this country is nearly obsessed with the Royals. Or at least our media is.

Meh. Some Americans find the Brit royals interesting, and the media caters to that. The same is true for other celebrities. Singers, actors, athletes, royals, whatever.

Not sure why some feel the need to stress about other people's royals-watching. I've been known to complain about other people watching sports. Maybe it's the same thing.

Some Americans find scat porn interesting, too.

Just as with the Royals, I don't want to hear about that, either.

I haven't watched South Park in years.  I guess I need to check it out as well.

I would assume (yes, I know) that being parodied on South Park is the 21st century equivalent of making the cover of MAD.
To some, it is a cold realization that they've become so popular that they've become irrelevant.
Others view it as a well deserved recognition that they've reached the pinnacle of their craft.

I watched that episode last night.  I rarely actually LOL while watching a movie - this time I did, numerous times.

I didn't even bother to read the article. Headline says all I need to know.
Wonder how long it took them to figure this out.

Apparently Netflix has now told them to put up or shut up with content there, as I guess they've just been cashing checks and not working.

At some point well after the divorce, that guy will realize the life he threw away.

Then by all means, stay out of threads specifically about royals.
