Heavy Metal Southpark

I suppose you have to be a certan age to find this amusing...but to me this is pretty damn funny. I think the car in the actual movie was a Vette...but it's been a while since I've seen it.
See Kenny from the show Southpark ride the pre-historic bird from the movie "Heavy Metal"

Worth a Re-Visit
Given the story going around started by a story in a UK paper about how Matt Stone and Trey Parker said they were told that Marines guarding Saddam forced him to watch the Southpark movie over and over...I thought I'd re-post this...
I have no doubt that someone told Trey and Matt that this occurred, but given all the crap that has occurred over the course of the war about the treatment of prisoners does anyone actually believe that this would happen?
While many of us would wish that this were true and that Saddam would be being tormented on a daily basis...will just have to wait until he gets to the afterlife for his torment, and from what I hear that will be for eternity.
Guard reveals Saddam's jail life (Likes Cheetos)

Saddam Hussein still believes he is president of Iraq, is obsessed with cleanliness, makes bad coffee and loves Doritos, an ex-guard has revealed. The deposed leader, set to face trial for massacres and killings during his time in power, also washes his clothes and cares for birds in his prison yard.
US National Guardsman Sean O'Shea, 20, gave GQ magazine in the US a unique look into Saddam Hussein's daily life.
The former president was captured near the city of Tikrit in December 2003.
Despite officially being in Iraqi custody, Saddam Hussein is guarded by US troops at a secret location.
Specialist O'Shea, who joined the Pennsylvania National Guard a year before the US-led invasion of Iraq, was one of five guards who told GQ their memories of guarding the world's most famous prisoner.
Spartan regime
Spc O'Shea gave the magazine a detailed portrait of the monotony of life in jail.
He described the former leader's daily routine of toilet visits, mealtimes, recreation and regular medical check-ups.
In his cell there was a bed, a toilet, a chair, a towel, some books and a prayer rug.
The former leader would often spend silent days writing in Arabic on legal pads, Spc O'Shea said.
The guard described how Saddam Hussein spent each day watering plants and was obsessive about cleanliness, continually wet-wiping the cutlery he used to eat his meals.
He did not want a treadmill that guards installed in his cell, asking instead for a table-tennis table. The request was turned down.
He enjoyed Raisin Bran Crunch for breakfast, but refused to eat Froot Loops.
He liked to snack on Cheetos, until someone brought him a bag of Doritos, which he took silently into a corner and ate in a hurry.
'President Saddam'
Although physically weak, there was also evidence that the son of a farmer from near Tikrit had not lost his confidence.
He enjoyed Cuban cigars, and sometimes offered Spc O'Shea blunt advice, including how to find a "good woman", and how to "keep her in line".
He told stories of how he brought prostitutes in for his son, Uday, the night before his wedding.
The guard described how Saddam Hussein walked out of a meeting with Iraqi prosecutors, disgusted at them for wanting to try him for crimes against his country.
"Ministers? Ministers of what," Saddam Hussein raged in his cell.
"I'm still the president of this country."
He went quiet when Spc O'Shea told him that former US President Ronald Reagan - who used to sell Iraq planes and helicopters, he remembered - had died.
Unsurprisingly, neither former President George H W Bush or the current US leader ranked highly with the man they both went to war against.
Yet Spc O'Shea said his prisoner wanted to meet President Bush, "to make peace with him".
But the reality was more mundane: the man who once lived amid endless wealth in colossal palaces had to use the toilet under the gaze of a teenage soldier from small-town Pennsylvania.
"He was a very bad man," Spc O'Shea told GQ. "But when we had him, he was a broken man."
I have no doubt that someone told Trey and Matt that this occurred, but given all the crap that has occurred over the course of the war about the treatment of prisoners does anyone actually believe that this would happen?
While many of us would wish that this were true and that Saddam would be being tormented on a daily basis...will just have to wait until he gets to the afterlife for his torment, and from what I hear that will be for eternity.

They'll Rouchambeau You For It!
From Wizbang Pop
I just hope these movies are more "Orgazmo", "Team America" and less "Baseketball"
"South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have set two live-action films at Paramount.
Parker and Stone, who have re-christened their Par-based shingle Important Pictures, will first make the Jeff Roda-scripted high school comedy "My All-American." They plan to follow with "Giant Monsters Attack Japan!," a film scripted by J.F. Lawton ("Under Siege") that will combine live-action with the "rubber suit" techniques made popular in Asian imports like "Godzilla."
Parker will direct each film and Stone produce; both will work on the scripts with the writers. Sean Daniel and Nickelodeon will also be producers on "Giant Monsters."
Parker and Stone are aiming for a 2007 production start, timed to a hiatus from "South Park," which this week launched its 10th season.
I just hope these movies are more "Orgazmo", "Team America" and less "Baseketball"

Even on DVD we won't see Mo'
'South Park' guys still upset
Friday, July 14, 2006; Posted: 10:11 a.m. EDT (14:11 GMT)
PASADENA, California (Hollywood Reporter) -- The creators of "South Park" lambasted Comedy Central Thursday for removing an episode that lampooned Scientology and Tom Cruise from the network's repeat schedule and for blanking out the image of Muhammad during another episode.
"So there are two things we can't do on Comedy Central: show Muhammad or Tom Cruise," Trey Parker said during the MTV Networks portion of the Television Critics Assn. summer press tour.
Parker and Matt Stone said they had no doubt that the "Trapped in the Closet" episode was yanked as a result of Cruise's starring this summer in "Mission: Impossible III," the movie from Paramount, Comedy Central's sister company...
...Regarding the decision not to air the image of Muhammad during the "Cartoon Wars" episode, the pair said it was a corporate decision that could become a slippery slope if other groups begin making threats and affecting content. They also noted that Muhammad seems to be off limits, while it is "open season" on Jesus, who happens to be a "South Park" character. (Depictions of Muhammad are strictly prohibited in Islam.)
Comedy Central president Doug Herzog admitted, "It's tough, but I think I would say we did overreact. ... Matt and Trey enjoy a fair amount of creative freedom. History might show that we overreacted, and we will live with that."
He added that the image probably will not be shown on the DVD version either, but "I look forward to the day when we can uncover it."
Why do some people bend over backward to kiss the asses of people who would slit your throat in a second, but never bat an eyelash when someone defiles Jesus Christ? AMAZING
