Starring Patrick Swayze, Charlie Sheen, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Jennifer Gray, Ben Johnson, Harry Dean Stanton, Ron O'Neill, William Smith, and Powers Booth. It was the first film released in the United States with a PG-13 rating (according to the modified rating system introduced on July 1, 1984). The film depicts the United States, captured by the Soviet Union and its Cuban and Nicaraguan allies. However, the beginning of the Third World War is in the background and has not been fully worked out. The story follows a group of American schoolchildren who resist occupation with guerrilla warfare, calling themselves Wolverines, after their high school mascot. The United States became strategically isolated after NATO was completely dissolved. At the same time, the Soviet Union and its Allies under the Warsaw Pact are actively expanding their sphere of influence. In addition, the Ukrainian wheat crop fails, while in Mexico there is a socialist coup d'etat.

  • Additional Images of Journalists in South Park by Todd Smilovitz

    Appendix: Additional Images of Journalists in South Park By Todd Smilovitz Episode 1: “Cartman Gets an Anal Probe.” First aired August 13, 1997. Directed by: Uncredited. Written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Aliens abduct Eric Cartman and install a satellite dish in his rectum. News 8 reports on crop circles, which actually look like Eric in outline. A field reporter says, “Could it be that aliens are trying to make contact with us here on Earth?” Episode 2: “Volcano.” First aired August 20, 1997. Directed by: Uncredited. Written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. A volcano erupts near South Park while the boys are camping on its mountainside. Mostly banal reporting on the story by HBC standards, but Tom’s thoughts on the successful rescue of the boys is a bit melodramatic. “And now these humble people can rejoice and celebrate their jovial victory over nature. I’m getting word that the chef of the school cafeteria wants to sing a song about this thrilling struggle of humanity.” Episode 3: “Weight Gain 4000.” First aired August 27, 1997. Directed by: Uncredited. Written by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Eric Cartman, already overweight, begins inhaling Weight Gain 4000 to become buff. Instead, he becomes a Jabba the Hut look-alike. Meanwhile, Kathy Lee Gifford is coming to town to present Eric with an award for best essay on the rainforest. He actually wrote the essay by copying from On Walden Pond. Unfortunately for Eric, Kathy Lee is almost assassinated and leaves town just before handing the award to Eric. Eric says, “Hey, wait a minute, when do I get to be on television?” The reporter answers, “Forget it, kid.

South Park's Expression of Legal Ideology and Contribution to Legal Culture Kimberlianne Podlas* ABSTRACT This Article recognizes that television programs outside of the law genre can engage in legal discourse: to wit, South Park. South Park has been called one of the most profane programs on television as well as one of the most ideological. Indeed, through sophisticated, no- holds-barred satire, South Park contemplates a number of American culture's most complex and contentious legal issues. This Article systematically analyzes the legal ideologies conveyed by South Park, combining an interpretive ethnographic analysis with quantitative content analyses.

His works have survived extinction and remained relevant because they are not only brilliantly written but also truly hilarious. Yet much of the humor Aristophanes’ original audience would have experienced is lost due to the great social, political, and cultural distance between our modern society and classical Athens.
