Just because the Simpsons and South Park use stereotyping against groups of people just to get laughs doesn't make it right. Justifying bigotry and stereotyping by calling it comedy is what's disingenuous. You can hide behind the phoney veil of liberal tolerance all you want, but if you can justify the stereotyping on those two shows then you're a bigot.
Okay, I wouldn't usually jump in on this, but you are trampling on one of my great loves, comedy... I must defend it.
Either everything is okay in comedy or nothing is. In comedy it isn't serious. You can't compare the use of these things in the pursuit of laughter with the genuine racist ways of the people you support.
