  • SIMPSONS to SOUTH PARK-FILM 4165 (4 Credits) SPRING 2015 Tuesdays 6:00 P.M.-10:00 P.M
    CONTEMPORARY ANIMATION: THE SIMPSONS TO SOUTH PARK-FILM 4165 (4 Credits) SPRING 2015 Tuesdays 6:00 P.M.-10:00 P.M. Social Work 134 Instructor: Steven Pecchia-Bekkum Office Phone: 801-935-9143 E-Mail: [email protected] Office Hours: M-W 3:00 P.M.-5:00 P.M. (FMAB 107C) Course Description: Since it first appeared as a series of short animations on the Tracy Ullman Show (1987), The Simpsons has served as a running commentary on the lives and attitudes of the American people. Its subject matter has touched upon the fabric of American society regarding politics, religion, ethnic identity, disability, sexuality and gender-based issues. Also, this innovative program has delved into the realm of the personal; issues of family, employment, addiction, and death are familiar material found in the program’s narrative. Additionally, The Simpsons has spawned a series of animated programs (South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, Rick and Morty etc.) that have also been instrumental in this reflective look on the world in which we live. The abstraction of animation provides a safe emotional distance from these difficult topics and affords these programs a venue to reflect the true nature of modern American society. Course Objectives: The objective of this course is to provide the intellectual basis for a deeper understanding of The Simpsons, South Park, Futurama, Family Guy, and Rick and Morty within the context of the culture that nurtured these animations. The student will, upon successful completion of this course: (1) recognize cultural references within these animations. (2) correlate narratives to the issues about society that are raised.

As the new president and CEO, I have the high privilege to lead our efforts to save the lives of children around the world, protect their rights and help them thrive. The photographs — pictures I took a number of years ago — have hung in three different offices I’ve had over the last decade. One is of a girl from a rural village in Côte d’Ivoire where my team worked to rid the region of Guinea Worm. The other is a boy from a small town in the Andes Mountains of Ecuador where we ran a school health program. Both are close-up shots that reveal the striking faces and penetrating eyes of these two brave children. It is almost as if they are speaking to me directly, calling on me to redouble my efforts to serve others like them.

  • Going Down to South Park: Reporting the News on Television’S Most Politically and Socially Irreverent Animated Series
    Going Down to South Park: Reporting the News on Television’s Most Politically and Socially Irreverent Animated Series By Todd Smilovitz Abstract The image of the journalist on South Park is not one to be proud of. Journalists appear on more than half of the episodes in the show’s first nine seasons, but they are mostly purveyors of news that is opinionated, baseless, soft, sentimental, naïve, late-breaking and/or sensationalistic. Behind all of this shallow reporting is a quest by news media for ratings: the profit motive distorts news. The fact that almost all South Park journalism is broadcast news, which naturally tends to focus on sound bites rather than in-depth analysis, only enhances this effect. Whether the image of the journalist on South Park is a reflection of the modern American media, or vice versa, is left unsettled and to the eye of the beholder. * * * “A Sexy Action News Team Special Report: ‘Cough Medicine Abuse in School’ with the Sexy Action School News Team. It’s the report you can’t afford to miss.”1 -- Announcer setting up the boys’ final attempt to grab high ratings for their elementary school news show While this Sexy Action News Team special report could actually be seen as investigative journalism, it only comes about after more sensationalistic methods for becoming the number Going Down to South Park By Todd Smilovitz 2 one South Park Elementary School news show fail. In other words, the serious, investigative content of the show is only incidental to the profit motive. Live, late-breaking special reports by eyewitness news teams are the real king of South Park journalism.

The subsequent sustained, integrated research effort has shaped the devel- opment of volcano ecology, an emerg- ing field of focused research. Excessive heat, burial, and impact force are some of the disturbance mechanisms following an eruption. They are also mechanisms of other, nonvolcanic dis- turbances. Studying ecosystem response to these disturbances across the gradi- ent of disturbance intensity created by the 1980 eruption has revealed lessons relevant to the process of succession in Pacific Northwest forests and to other disturbed areas. Charlie Crisafulli, an ecologist with the Pacific Northwest Research Station, has worked on Mount St. Helens for the past Nitrogen-fixing lupine was the first plant to colonize the sterile Pumice Plain created during the 1980 36 years.

  • 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.
