I'm so glad George Carlin is one of your favorite comedians. ^___^ That guy wields profanity like a samurai.
Parker and Stone are mass media, and are good at being part of mass media. That's their job. I consider them to be about as valuable as satirists as your average sitcom writer. Noting they have done to date has led me to believe anything otherwise. They just have more power to get movies made. It's entertainment, it's cute, it's well done, if you want Parker and Stone to opine about what is funny (like what they said about puppets being maimed being funnier than cg characters or real people being maimed, and I agree) I'll listen. They're good at being funny. But they're no Carlin, they're no Lenny Bruce, they're no Margaret Cho.
