South Park Creators Given Signed Photo of Saddam Hussein

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of South Park, were given a very special gift by US marines: a signed photo of Saddam Hussein. During his captivity, the marines forced Saddam to repeatedly watch the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer And Uncut, which shows him as the boyfriend of Satan. Stone said, "We're very proud of our signed Saddam picture and what it means. It's one of our biggest highlights."

South Park Movie Officially Torture..

[Roskolnikov]

I recall watching this movie in the theatre, in some strange life imitating art moment a grandmother brought her grandsons and apparently their friends in for the wonderful cartoon..... Making it through the bribe a drunk for movie tickets and the earthen root heart transplant she decided it was just too much when Saddam and the Devil had their musical bit with a floppy dildo...

Up until now I felt that nothing would top that in regards to this movie.....

Re:Huh.

[master5o1]

I can't decide whether being forced to watch that South Park movie is better or worse than the crap done in Abu Ghraib

You want real torture?

[SlappyBastard]

Real torture would be making him watch the last few seasons of The Simpsons.

Re:Huh.

[Vectronic]

Unless he's still swinging.

Re:Huh.

[Architect_sasyr]

Worse, obviously. Unless the US flew in Barbara Streisand - then all bets are off.

Re:Who gave them the photo?

[phantomfive]

99.999% of the time the article is more reliable than the summary.

Re:Huh.

[Al Al Cool J]

This story raises many difficult and complex moral questions. What we need to do is take a step back, and calmly ask ourselves, "what would Brian Boitano do?"

Re:hilarious

[interkin3tic]

I think most people don't know just how bad Saddam was...

He also tried to invade Canada. And not only was he in a relationship with the DEVIL, but he was abusive to the devil as well.

Re:Huh.

[fractoid]

Oi, mate, leave kangaroos out of this!

Re:Huh.

[BadAnalogyGuy]

I prefer the grammatically correct "swanged".

Re:Huh.

[Anonymous Coward]

Do you know what "ostensible [merriam-webster.com]" means?

Kim Jong-il should be forced to watch Team America

[Anonymous Coward]

All Dictators should receive the same treatment.

Kim Jong-il should be forced to watch "Team America" and sign a cockroach.

"Americaaa, fuck, yeah ..."

throwing things around

[dna_(c)(tm)(r)]

If evolution fashioned us in such a way as to still feel the drive to be swinging from the trees, hurling our [feaces] at each other, does it follow that it's what we should be doing?

That's what we do here on /. but it is way better than throwing high explosives and depleted uranium at each other.

Re:Huh.

[Anonymous Coward]

I believe the parent poster was actually referring to the penile enlargement surgery.

Re:Huh.

[Quothz]

When exactly was the last time you ever defused a landmine or stormed a machine gun nest?

Yeah, there aren't any combat veterans here. You're the only person on /. who knows what war is like, 'cause you saw Saving Private Ryan twice.

Re:Huh.

[weicco]

Finns are constantly drunk (unless they code neat kernels)

Heeeyyyyy! Wait a minute! I haven't been drunk in over six months and I'm coding shitty business applications. Now take that you Finn hater! ;)

Re:Huh.

[JosKarith]

If I'd been watching Michael Portillo seconds from death I'd be feeling pretty euphoric too...

Re:Huh.

[Mordaximus]

He was hanged. I'm sure I don't want to know if he was hung.

Re:Huh.

[K'Lyre]

Yeah, because then they'll be your friend.

Re:Huh.

[ArcherB]

Yes, sadly in this day, forcing someone to shave, to bath, to listen to music they don't like, to watch TV shows making fun of their ideals or image is akin to starvation, braking bones, inserting surgical instruments into the human body or operating with nothing to dull the pain, pulling off fingernails, and threatening someone with death and taking them almost there.

My what a strong race of people we have grown into. To think, your childhood and a weekend at a frat party or clubbing in the winter is now torture.

I blame Canada!

Re:The hypocrisy is what got me

[Anonymous Coward]

So Bush and Cheney had a plan for cowardice?

Re:Huh.

[damien_kane]

Worse, obviously. Unless the US flew in Barbara Streisand - then all bets are off.

Barbara Streisand is harmless unless she's in possession of both halves of the triangle.

In that case, all bets are off

Re:See: Michael Portillo

[3vi1]

Plus however long the condemned can hold his breath.

I know what you're getting at, but I assure you: It would still be the most entertaining half-hour of television featuring David Blaine, ever.

Re:Huh.

[Tetsujin]

Or Binden's assistance of when TV's where invented

I'm sorry, but as we live in a strict meritocracy I'm going to have to recommend that your citizenship be revoked for this piece of mal-formed language.

...What? We don't live in a meritocracy? Popular vote? Lobbyists?

...shit.

Re:Like reading?

[Stiletto]

Yea, I can see how "What papers do you read?" is a hostile, "gotcha" question. I guess she should have started with "What is your favorite animal?"

Re:See: Michael Portillo

[PRMan]

I know what you're getting at, but I assure you: It would still be the most entertaining two hours of television featuring David Blaine, ever.

FTFY. Apparently you've never watched a David Blaine special.
