Team America World Police

"Hey terrorists! Terrorize this!" Freedom hangs by a thread... Team America World Police are putting the F back in Freedom but Matt Drudge reports a senior White House adviser finds the trailer "just unconscionable. Not funny..." With respect to whomever that might be, lighten up. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are often on the wrong side of taste but rarely on the wrong side of, well, right and wrong. I am inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt until I have seen the film.

And then... Ain't It Cool News posts details of Matt Stone and Trey Parker as they respond to the White House on The Drudge Report's radio show.

"We're maing fun of terrorists, not terrorism, we've done this on South Park since the Osama episode. This movie isn't making fun of every angle of it, not police officers or our service men. It rips on Hollywood actors. We thank the Bush admin for the the free press. I think you will think it's funny what happens to Janeane Garofalo. Our comedy is the way we think, just because we are making a comedy it doesn't mean we don't have any feelings on terrorism. This film is the fastest release Paramount has ever done. People are gonna leave this film wondering which political side we are on. We think firemen and service men will love this movie most of all. As of now there is no Bush puppet in the movie, but we might put one in. We dont want people thinking we are in on the Fahrenheit 9/11 bandwagon. Everyone should be afraid of this movie."
