South Park, Love it or hate it?

South Park, We all know about it, right? IF you don't, It's:

A show that speaks volumes about subjects, through the dirty and in my opinion, hilarious mouths of 4 4th graders living in South Park Colorado. It is well known and listened to primarily because it has a reputation for saying what they feel about issues around the world or that are current, regardless of vulgarity or feeling about the issue.

But, contrary to my tittle, I believe South Park is not simply a love it or hate it show. It's for a lot of people, "Yeah, I like it." One day, but then when they see a episode that makes fun of their group (I say group to say race, age, religion, etc.) It becomes "No, I hate that show" or "I liked it, but now I don't."
Being christian, much like many people in society today, I'm, No, We all (All religions) are easily subject to South park making a show that makes fun of us. Jewish people are made fun of; With one of the main charecters being jewish and another, Eric Cartman, having a Jewish hating personality, this is a great formula for almost endless Jewish hating jokes. Jesus makes occasional appearences, one portraying him being beat up by Satan, another him revealing that St. Peter is a rabbit and a rabbit down his line of family tree should be pope.
Recently, I saw an episode about people who play Guitar hero, who another neo member, Dark Arcanine, touched on in Hera's blog. That it reverses the conflict about people who play guitar hero wasting their time playing the game instead of plaing a real guitar. The episode painted the image that people who play guitar don't give a damn about real guitars and would play all day to unlock everything that they can regardless of time andcommitments. Now, there are people like that out there, but the majority just play the game because it's fun, the purpose of video games (Besides making money.).
So, my question I pose is, Do you agree with my views of South Park being a love it until they target your group or do you just plain hate it? Or do you just love it no matter what and consider the jokes something to laugh about and just be shrugged off?

    People are fine with other people being laughed at and bullied. It's just when it comes round and bites you in the ass is when it gets you going.

    I'm in a minority group of homosexuals, so I can definitely give an opinion. What South Park does when they pick on "groups" in their show is to go at it, and hard. It always makes me laugh when gay people are featured on South Park because they are always the most flaming, gay people I have ever seen in my life.

    But that's the humor in it. I know I am not that gay (I am probably one of the most straight acting gay people you will ever meet), but if you can't laugh at yourself then you are just taking life way too seriously.

    I definitely fall into the group that I love it no matter what.

    I like it. It's one of my favorite shows, along with Family Guy. Although, I haven't really watch either of them lately.

    In fact, I don't even watch TV in general all that much anymore.

    I love it. It's funny & inappropriate. My cousin & I watch it & make dirty jokes together. It's just plain funny!
