Yes they did. Ten years ago. Also, you quoted me out of context. My point was that several other cable shows have the word “shit” in nearly every episode so that South Park is no longer unique in that respect.

In Twix’s defense, if she didn’t know it was a song lyric, she’s not likely to google it. I doubt the mods google every insult they run across ‘just in case’. Having said that, in another thread we ran across something similar where someone (new poster, not a regular) called another poster creepy it went back and forth for a while and eventually one of the regulars said "You’re so fucking special. I wish I was special, but I’m a creep. " and was warned for it by Ellen Cherry which was taken back as soon as she realized it was a Radiohead song…I’d imagine that’s all that’ll happen here.

I’m sure this is the last time you’ll issue warnings for references you don’t understand.

South Park started out as “look at the little kids swearing,” how can anybody be surprised at it?

How could she know it’s a reference if she doesn’t understand it?

For example, if I were to say that since Twix was such a bad mod you must tie her down and spank her…and give all the mods a good spanking. And after the spankings…the oral sex. That might seem odd and if you’d never seen The Search For The Holy Grail, you wouldn’t even think that it came from a movie but rather that it was just a really random comment.

It’s “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.”

Dammit, I always say that wrong…I suppose now I shall need to be spanked…and then the oral sex. But not from you. I’ll go find Zoot and the Castle Anthrax girls. They shouldn’t be hard to find, what with the Holy Grail beacon lighting up the night sky and all.

Not after getting the title wrong. **No oral sex for you**. [/Soup Nazi]
