In this week’s South Park, “Obama Wins”, Cartman  performs what may be the most creative form of voter suppression the GOP never tried. This is one of those grand all-encompassing pop-culture satires that, I’ve said previously, is entirely hit or miss with South Park. So did this hit or miss? As Cartman is jet-setting across [...]

When a man becomes a message, the message becomes money. So sayeth South Park. This week’s episode, “A Scause for Applause”, the residents of South Park are lining up to have their yellow rubber bracelets removed because they were duped by a steroid abusing icon.

And since then, it’s become a sort of pastime in my household…watching this precocious nightmare. There is something addictive in [...]

I’ve been mulling over the…well, “softing” of the NFL over the last two seasons. There is the ex-football player-jock side of me that screams, “you’re ruining the game, Commissioner Goodell!” Then there’s the reasonable, yet hypochondriac side of me that nervously mumbles, “I hope that I don’t have any lasting head trauma from playing the [...]
