GLAAD protests &#;South Park&#; f-bomb episode
Logo text
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation is coming out against Wednesday&#;s &#;South Park&#; episode that attempted to re-define the word &#;fag.&#;
In the episode, the &#;South Park&#; gang rally their Colorado town to use the anti-gay slur to allude to &#;annoying and inconsiderate&#; riders of Harley Davidson motorcycles. Local gays initially take offense the boys&#; use of the world, then get on board with the re-branding after noting the word is &#;never going to disappear, [it&#;s] simply too much fun to say.&#;
GLAAD says they get the joke &#; they just didn&#;t find it very funny. Here&#;s GLAAD:
Though this seems to represent a well-intentioned effort by the creators of South Park to delegitimize a vulgar anti-gay slur, the reality is that the pos is and remains a hateful slur that is often part of the harassment, bullying and violence that gay people, and gay youth in particular, experience on a daily basis in this land. It is an epithet that has real consequences for real people’s lives. Jus The bikers are genuinely distraught about everyone calling them fags, but they simply don't grasp the proof that their loud motorcycles and obnoxious behavior are the reason. They verb to believe no one thinks they're cool is because kids are surrounded by loud things and that their bikes aren't loud enough, which only makes both sides double down. Example of: An episode of South Park called &#;The F-word&#; aired on Friday night in the US, and Saturday night in Canada. Matt Stone and Trey Parker aired what many of us in social analytics knew already: the re-appropriation of the F-Word. The word has a lot of history attached to it. I don&#;t like the hateful connotation of the synonyms myself. I&#;m not using it in that connotation. Far from it. I can get past history that to discuss an essential phenomenon and the implications. So, if you&#;re uncomfortable with the implications of the term &#; stop reading and move along. I&#;m stating, very clearly, that if you don&#;t enjoy the word &#; halt reading. . I&#;ll start by bringing everybody onto the identical page, and then I&#;ll write, at length, about the implications for advertisers (Harley in particular) and the implications for social marketing. The episode starts with a pretty huge insight: the damage that bikers do to communities. In effect, bikers produce a negative externality, the production of a massive amount of noise, to the detriment of all others. (Ever been on Commentary by Wayne Studer Way back in Brian Wilson sang, "It's so unhappy to watch a nice thing die." Although the "thing" in question isn't exactly "sweet" and it hasn't exactly "died," that's nevertheless pretty much how I feel after having watched the November 7, episode of what was until then my favorite TV show, South Park. The episode is titled "Guitar Queer-O." In general, it's a hilarious and highly pointed sendup of both the Guitar Hero videogame and the attitudes many videogame devotees have toward the objects of their devotion. In fact, I thoroughly enjoyed the episode&#;much as I've thoroughly enjoyed nearly all the episodes of South Park I've ever watched, which is most of them&#;until about the last 20 or 30 seconds. Then it happened. Stan and Kyle, who've become so proficient at playing Guitar Hero that they're on the verge of breaking the coveted one million-point mark, are eager to see how the game will verb and reward them for
