South Park Creators Given Signed Photo of Saddam Hussein

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, were given a very special gift by US marines: a signed photo of Saddam Hussein. During his captivity, the marines forced Saddam to repeatedly watch the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut, which shows him as the boyfriend of Satan. Stone said, "We're very proud of our signed Saddam picture and what it means. It's one of our biggest highlights."

  1. South Park Movie Officially Torture.. by Roskolnikov · · Score: 5, Funny

    I recall watching this movie in the theatre, in some strange life imitating art moment a grandmother brought her grandsons and apparently their friends in for the wonderful cartoon..... Making it through the bribe a drunk for movie tickets and the earthen root heart transplant she decided it was just too much when Saddam and the Devil had their musical bit with a floppy dildo...

    Up until now I felt that nothing would top that in regards to this movie.....

    This story raises many difficult and complex moral questions. What we need to do is take a step back, and calmly ask ourselves, "what would Brian Boitano do?"

    I think most people don't know just how bad Saddam was...

    He also tried to invade Canada. And not only was he in a relationship with the DEVIL, but he was abusive to the devil as well.

    If evolution fashioned us in such a way as to still feel the drive to be swinging from the trees, hurling our [feaces] at each other, does it follow that it's what we should be doing?

    That's what we do here on /. but it is way better than throwing high explosives and depleted uranium at each other.

    Yes, sadly in this day, forcing someone to shave, to bath, to listen to music they don't like, to watch TV shows making fun of their ideals or image is akin to starvation, braking bones, inserting surgical instruments into the human body or operating with nothing to dull the pain, pulling off fingernails, and threatening someone with death and taking them almost there.

    My what a strong race of people we have grown into. To think, your childhood and a weekend at a frat party or clubbing in the winter is now torture.
