Meh. I would stop short of saying they nailed it. It had its moments.

South Park indeed "gets it". If you disagree, you, sir, don't "get it."
What were you guys gripes? Let me guess, they were spot on with the Obama supporters reaction by gloating, dancing in the streets, expecting some revolutionary change where in reality not much would be different for them. However they were totally unfounded in their characterization that McCain supporters overreacted and melted down fearing the end of the world as we know it?

South Park = America's Barometer
It's in a memo.

Honestly, I was underwhelmed not do to the "message" but the storyline itself.
SP has really lost it's edge in a lot of these recent episodes to me. Sure its still offensive at times and yes, it also makes valid "real world" points I guess. However, my problem is that this has become the recipe for a SP episode week in and week out for the past few seasons. I saw the Obama/Mcain election episode coming a mile away and honestly expected some real over the top stuff. I mean whats heralded as the most important election in our lifetime by many and all Trey and Matt can offer is a cheese-dick Italian Job/Ocean's 11 parody. Yeah, I was disapointed... I mean fuck, I just want to laugh. Give me an episode from the first 5 seasons over the last 5 anyday.

No. I don't want to fire up a whole South Park debate, but its characterizations are broad and simplistic. It's extremely superficial and rarely offers any true insight, just surface pandering.
I find South Park as a whole juvenile and immature.
