South Park is ultimate social criticism through art. The drawings look intentionally amateurish, so that the viewer can both focus on the dialogs and also realize that non-Hollywood ethics are applied throughout the show.
In South Park nothing is sacred; there is no political correctness - the purest form of fascism and hypocrisy. In fact everything that is "right" in modern society is ridiculed, to the point of exhaustion. The ideal comedy.
There is another aspect of South Park that is almost always overlooked. The characters are emotionally charged. The creators care about their characters and they always take the time to explore the aspects of their personality in depth. No one is bad here, it's just that everyone functions in their own way.
I was relieved to read the comments of the alarmed American parents, who warn everyone not to let their kids watch the show. It's the same people who protest against Internet pornography and show their paranoid concern about how it can corrupt our children. They prove that South Park exists for a reason.
I don't know if Hollywood will allow the creators of South Park to continue their journey, but their creation will forever live as the ultimate statement in modern cinema/television.
