Abstract:
"South Park is a socially significant satire. This volume explores the popularity and cultural relevance of South Park and its place as an artistically and politically worthy satire. Among the topics explored are the show's parody of the processes of manufacturing political consent; the interrogation of anti-tobacco legislation; and seemingly irreverent and dismissive treatment of environmentalism"--Provided by publisher.
