South Park, an animated show on Comedy Central, tests the boundaries of free speech on a regular basis. From depicting a beheaded Britney Spears to portraying live festive Christmas feces named Mr. Hankey, the show constantly offends every subset of society to provide social commentary on perceived injustices and logically flawed, but widely accepted, ideas...

...love a good party. After a night of orgiastic cartoon excess, the plot takes a sharp turn into “Pit and the Pendulum” doom and gloom, as wolf and bear narrowly escape their female captors-turned-ritualistically-sacrificing-robots. Not quite as idiosyncratic as Mr. Hankey the Christmas Poo, but bizarre enough, considering that Quincy’s working without Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The cartoon storyline does little to illuminate Les Savy Fav’s enigmatic lyrics, but compounding elusive distraction upon elusive distraction is half the fun of indie music. The absolute...

...Hankey is a talking turd who, in the early years of South Park, emerged for the annual Christmas show - notably the all-singing episode that sprang from this, the most obscene and fabulous of all holiday CDs. Parker and uber-chartsman Marc Shaiman worked their coprophagic magic on material both traditional and original. Parker uses the pseudonym Juan Schwartz for the fatalist's folk tune "Dead, Dead, Dead" ("And so on Christmas morning / Let good tidings fill your head / What a festive season! / Some day you'll be dead"). Eric Cartman warbles a soulful misdirection of "O Holy Night" ("Jesus...
