I'm generally not much of a fan of his, but_David Horowitz's latest Salon column_ (http://www.salonmagazine.com/n...1999/07/19/south_park/index.html) takes on the V-chip versus freedom of speech by way of South Park. I saw South Park on Friday evening. It is not a children's movie. But I've never seen South Park marketed to children, ever since Spirit of Christmas it's been clear that this is adult humor. And in the movie moreso than the few TV episodes that I've seen the language is used for deliberate effect. The movie is very much about the same people who are trying to target it shirking responsibility when it comes to their kids, and I think it's right on on many levels. Yes, it is truly subversive and anti-religion. That's why kids like it, they haven't been brainwashed yet.
