I think that parents only get so offended by television because they rely on it as a babysitter and the sole educator of their kids.

Once you have kids, you think like a parent. You get a lot more protective.

It's not like we have a formula, but I think one of the reasons this show has survived is that it has a big heart at its center. Other cartoon shows have people crap on each other and make racist jokes. But I don't think people tune in for that. I just don't think a show lasts for 10 years without a heart.

Hollywood views regular people as children, and they think they're the smart ones who need to tell the idiots out there how to be.

It's funny because I think a lot of it is simply... We've never considered ourselves satirists, but because we're on Comedy Central and because we're South Park on Comedy Central, we can do any topic we want.

I would let my kids watch this stuff way before I'd let them watch something like 'Full House' that I think would make them stupid.
