It is adult content, not for children.    \n\nIt seems there is a misconception in the US about animated TV shows an movies.  They are usually not meant for children.  The earliest 'cartoons' were all made for adults.

1995. Because many parent objected (and still object) to the content of daily primetime television show and commercial content - the violence, sexual innuendo and outright sex, etc.\n\n"The Parents Television Council was founded in 1995 to ensure that children are not constantly assaulted by sex, violence and profanity on television and in other media."\nhttp://www.parentstv.org/PTC/aboutus/main.asp

I would have to agree, there is nothing wrong with giving your kids nice things, but whn they get out of line for not getting exactly what the want, then they sh.ould be put in their place. I watch that show every now and again, and everytime I do I get pissed because of they act, its ridiculus

By parents, yes. By the government, no.\n\nPersonally, I don't allow my seven year old to view violent video games, TV, videos or music.  I think that has a lot to do with my utter distaste for violence in general.  I think it is unhealthy for children to view such images.  It skews their version of reality about death.\n\nEven with my strong feelings about violence, I don't believe the government should be allowed to tell adults that they can't view it.

I think it's all fair. South Park has made a huge impact on making fun of EVERYTHING no matter what it is. It just so happens that this time they picked a very popular cartoon show. I thought it was pretty neat becuase the whole purpose of that particular episode was to make fun of their own network. (Comedy Central) They just used the whole Family Guy/ The Simpsons to do it. I love all three shows, props to the Trey and Mat for that one. Family is funnier though.

because people are crappy parents and dont want to do any work, they dont want to sit down with there kids and explain how things work, they want to abuse them and then wonder why they listen to shitty music and shoot people. then they arent createive enough to come up with a god reason for it to happen so they blame someone they can sue.

Simpson's and Family guy do a pretty good job of it at times, but they are not based on it.  South park does a great job of basing it at times.

Kids are testing the parents limitations and some parents let them go to far. Kids need to be disciplined and set straight. Parents should have every right to set them straight at any time any where. So set guide lines and follow through with everything you tell kids and they will learn who's boss.

Boohbah...\nI was a preschool teacher and never ever in my life would I ever allow my students nor my own kids to watch a show with weird looking creatures that babble in baby talk with no meaning whatsoever in what they are doing or where they are going....I think the person who created this show was high on drugs and not all there....I would be so embarrassed to be the director, writer, camera man, make up artist, etc for this show. I cannot believe that they actually air this stupid thing...\nThe teletubbies are almost as equally scary...what's up with British children are they all that stupid? Are they all high on drugs...At least with Barney (though annoying at times) he gives the kids advice, structure and teaches them some sort of message like how to keep yourself clean, how to share, etc...on the other shows they have nothing but weird baby talk....For younger kids put in a Baby Einstein movie and its great for them...its good for ages newborn to two years old...then they have little Einsteins for the the toddler preschool age group...sheesh why would pbs allow this type of programing I have no idea

In short its all down to a lack of respect.\nToo much television of a violent nature is also to blame as well as parents that could not care less.\nIn this day and age society is of the opinion that they can do as they please and have the right to do what they want.\nSome people blame the Human Rights Act others blame the media or even rap.\nIt's up to the individual to decide but I do lean on the argument that teenagers today generally have no interest in the things their parents did as teenagers.\nIn conclusion, I believe that the youth of today are too caught up in the excitement of violence and foul language because it is fashionable

I think it has alot to do with it. Children see things and they think it is cool and that is how they should act. It desensitizes them to death, sex, violence, and drugs. That is hard for parents to recover from. It should be controlled, but that is up to the parents to do.

Because 2-3 year olds watch tv. And it won't be long before they have kids and need diapers. Hahahahaaha

well, that of course depends on what the parents themselves will allow if watching that influences the kids' behavior, because many kids WILL imitate what they see. if the parents want to better control all the ruckus that kids will most likey be demonstrating, then maybe WWE shouldn't be something that should be viewed. of course, WWE is not the only thing that kids might want to imitate.. there is also other shows, video games, daddy's beer induced rage...

I'm glad some body put a question like this up, because it is the movies, games, and the internet world that is makeing the kids do whatever they want but whos giveing them the freedom to see, get , and be whatever they want to be?\nThe same people who complain about this s**t, it's not the movie stars, the game creators, nor the people who created chat sites fault.\nThe finger and the blame points all to the parents for letting their kids take charge of their own life at such a young age where they think lifes a joke.

Honestly?  I don't think there's anything wrong with any of the old classic cartoons - want to know why?  This is the reason:\n\nTHE PARENTS\n\nIf more parents would just sit down with their kids (like my wife and I do with our son) and explain to them that cartoons are not real, they are just make believe, and help them understand that they don't do the things they see in cartoons, instead of just leaving them sitting in front of their tv sets like little zombies, that there would be less problems with the up and coming younger generation........

My kids are too young, but if you are screening them yourself, then you have to trust your own jusdgement. Personally I have not seen an episode that was suitable for children and even some that weren't suitable for adults. lol
