Trey Parker and Matt Stone discuss why the MPAA is bulls*^#. These are my heroes. (Video)

Definitely. It's a shame when great shows with fantastic ideals get trashed on because of how they appear on the surface.

People need to close their mouths and open their ears.

agreed, south park is PACKED with political and social criticism

and it's friggin' hilarious ^^

The whole episode on music pirating was genius

Especially considering they make a new episode every week in order to stay topical, whereas other shows just film an entire season at once. That's pretty damn impressive.

Wow thanks for pointing that out. I had never noticed.

wow really ???? if u didn't pont that our ill never have figured it out!… lol.

same goes with comedians

I agree. I think that comedians are some of the most underapreciated intellectuals and I think that these 2 are some of the best comedic writers working today. I dont allways agree with their viewpoints but its amazing how many conversations I have had that started while watching south park.

Whoops, accidentally thumbed down. Meant to thumb up x1000

Someone is us, the people. Together we have much more power than the big businesses.

oh yeah cant wait for a new season of SP

Corporate entertainment in general if you ask me. Sports included.

Yeah… download the movies made by the people who you want to fail?

So you don't want anymore movies?

You sound like Tim Robbins in Team America.

"…the corporations sit there in their, in in their corporation buildings and, and and see that's, they're all corporationy, and they make money.”

yeah grrreat idea, then the U.S. would be more like latin america where the bootleggers are making 3 or 4 times as much money as the people that are putting the hard work into actually making the movies… taking away the motivation for them to even MAKE movies.

Yeah…. you know who else loses money when you do that? The filmmakers and other people that deserve their money. Douchebag.

god you people are dumb. did u even read the bit about throwing out the trash and STARTING AGAIN? I agree, i'd rather miss out on a few good scripts being made into movies if it meant that the timid, dumbed down, tedious, piss-poor corporate movie industry could be harmed. Why do you think the regulatory bodies like the MPAA etc exist anyway? To serve your interests? Wise up!
Good music and good movies are invariably produced through independent labels/studios. They were before the entertainment industry was corporatized and they still are. They might not be able to afford to promote their acts or be able to spend 60 billion on special effects but so what? Not hearing the latest album by band X isnt going to hurt you. I'd rather miss out on that than be relentlessly exposed to the generic pop shit that make millions from gullible dumbass americans and makes stars of people with nothing to say (nothing worth hearing anyway). And as for movies, most big budget films are just vacuous crap for consumer morons anyway, it's just so much eye-candy, that distracts you from anything really important and thereby, keeps you stupid.
The makers of South Park are well aware of the pitfalls and consequences of the 'big business' approach to entertainment. Their work suffers for it hence the above video. If the studios had to let them go because of the consequences of people downloading from torrent sites and such, they'd find something else to do, probably something just as creative, funny/entertaining. You might not get to see it and they might not make as much money. So what; most of us dont make much money. If you really appreciate what they're doing, you should do what you can to make things better. Dismantling the current entertainment industry is the only sensible choice and downloading movies is a good way to encourage that.

Right on bro, how do we fight the power.

It's all about the Markets mate. You pander to those that'll make you a shit load of money. The big boys don't give a shit about what's good or bad they just know that if it makes money they'll make it. In the music industry the biggest market spenders are Teenage Girls hence why there is tons and tons of garbage out there and Why bieber is such a huge success. Change the market and then you change the quality of the product.

Sorry I wasnt ranting at you lol

It is the MPAA that is a crock. And that is their point! It's very similar to lobbyists in politics. If you get in bed with peddlers then you're gunna get fucked.

I was going to post this exact thing. It was a great movie. "Make sure you count how many strokes".

Wow, you really missed the whole point of what they were saying didn't you? They were not complaining about the rating their movie received. They were complaining about how the whole process works and the favoritism shown towards the big studios vs the independent film makers.

Someone's listening comprehension skills need some work.

Dammit. How'd I miss that others recommended this already? I'm retarded.

i know i'm gonna get ripped for my comment, but am i the only grown-ass man that thinks "art" like south park, the hangover, hot-tub time machine, cedar rapids, jack-ass, (the lists goes on and on) are all just pure crap….

are you upset that Lord of the Rings was only a trilogy?

There was a point in there, but you fucking missed it.
Great job!
