Goddammit, Southpark is the reigning king of TV shows. Going into their 12th season and still no sign of losing their edge.

Thanks for that link, Brendan. I'd heard the cripple fight scene was a They Live tribute but I'd never actually seen it until now.

Did anyone ever see the movie (late80s?) called "THey Live", directed by John Carpenter? Now THAT"Sa revolutionary, anti-capitalist, anti-consumerist flick! It's also a fun,funny, sci-fi/action/horror romp too, but the politics are huge!
