Okay, you want to know something I really hate?
South Park.
And it's not for the reasons that most people dislike it, such as the gore, the controversial subjects, or the language that would make a sailor blush.
I think that it's an overrated show, and that you could get more laughs from cereal boxes.
I mean seriously, the whole "Kenny dies every episode" thing may have been funny the first few times, but they've been milking this long-since-became-lame joke for HOW long?
Okay, another thing I hate? People who skip the whole "getting the facts straight" step.
Not to sound like a fanboy defending South Park or anything (it's been rusty lately and it does have its flaws), but the way you talk about it shows that rather than having watched it to make a valid argument, you just pick up random things you hear around you and make assumptions.
Why? Because they haven't had the Kenny gimmick in almost half a decade (if not more). Maybe once in a while they bring it back, or self-reference how it used to be a thing. But certainly not every episode. So get your facts straight.

We're not going to Guam... are we?
I honestly cannot fathom the irony of the fact that it was right around the time that the show stopped regularly killing Kenny when the show in turn began killing itself.
I used to have the DVD's of the first five seasons, and I remember sometime in the fifth season Kenny died 'for real.' Most of South Park's simpler/more original plots occupied the earlier seasons; Season 6 was around the time that the town of South Park itself became little more than a caricature-izing machine that every new political, environmental, and celebrity event would find itself chucked into and have the edginess cranked up to 11.
Not to say that pre-Season 6 South Park never did similar things. Pokemon, rainforest conservation, and even 9/11 itself were used as the cruxes of a few episodes. Hell, the Kenny-(kinda)dies-for-real episode was itself focused largely on stem cell controversy.
Still, I do miss the old South Park now and then...
*sigh* I'm afraid that I mention it here... it'll spark up flame wars to no end... but I have to say it: I hate The Coma Theory. *puts up flame shields*

Heald, read my first post on this thread. It was my way of saying the same thing.
And seriously, I've tried to keep everything I've said here with a dose of humor. (Even the stuff about Ms. Taitz. I just love when a story about her comes up, because I always get a big laugh out of it.)
I just heard a story on the news about how it was Groundhog Day (something that had slipped my mind) and how Punxsutawney Phil had reported an early spring.
That reminded me of another thing I hate. Can someone please explain to me what the point of this is?
Especially since, apparently, Phil has a 39% success rate. Very poor for a guy who works one day a year. It's a wonder he still has a job.
