Does South Park Display American Bad Taste?

In this country, it is not an uncommon perception that the Americans can be somewhat brash and tasteless. The fact that so much American 'popular entertainment' finds it's way over here, and is consumed by a voracious British public, no doubt says much more about us.

The childish South Park is a case in point. Without wanting to advertise this pathetic bit of nonsense, the plot has the British attempting to regain control of the States. Why we should want to do this is beyond me! Surely twice was enough!!! When this diabolical plot fails, the Queen apparently commits suicide by putting a pistol in her mouth and pulling the trigger.

So, what is US Comedy Central Network trying to achieve. At a time of danger for our two countries, the cynical might see this as an attempt to create some rift between the two countries. However, if the offensive utterings from Rosie O'Donnell are beyond contempt, this most certainly is too. No doubt, it will largely be ignored - as it should - after a couple of days of outrage.
