  • Hader recollected back to 2008 when he was invited by Parker and Stone to Seattle for a South Park writers’ retreat. While there, Parker really wanted to go to a viewing area where people can see various species of salmon swimming upstream to mate. Watching the salmon swim by gave Stone an idea.

    “’Imagine if one of these fish was on a motorcycle and just Evel Knievel-ed all the other fish,’” Hader remembered Stone saying, with Parker adding, “’And he has a big fish dick.’”

    “’Are you saying fish stick like those sticks of fish you bake and eat, or are you saying fish dick like a fish’s penis,’” Stone asked, and Parker responded “a fish’s penis, dude,” according to Hader.

    Eureka.

    The South Park writers contrived an episode where Eric Cartman would tell a joke about whether someone likes fishsticks, and if they do, “Then you’re a gay fish,” with the juvenile bit becoming massive. The twist would be that someone without a sense of humor takes the joke seriously. Hader, Parker, and Stone thought for a moment about who doesn’t have a sense of humor.“

    And in unison we all said ‘Kanye West,’” Hader recalled.

    I have no dislike of Christianity in particular, i have a problem with religion as a tool to make a distinction between us and them. I am aware I am doing it too, but I am not an institution. The point of my question, which was genuine, was to understand your comment better. It is meaner than necessary.

    Here there are plenty of Christian organizations as well doing very good things, but in general the people most vocal about doing Christian things are not more about people following their rules than about doing something meaningful for people in need. Seeing the current regime embracing Christianity while also limiting food aid or killing people without a trial in international waters remind me more of the type that talk(!) about Christian values, than that it reminds me of the people who work at a food bank or a homeless shelter.






  • I’d argue it’d help too - but to add about the situation here: the reason the police is not prioritizing this is because they believe so many people would object their fines it would place a heavy burden on our justice system. A judge would have too look at all those individual streets (perhaps times 2, if the situation is different in each direction because of a side road or something). The people objecting would have a point because there are laws preventing government from doing things that are unfair to the individual. In other words, a speed camera on a big road is much more fair than a speed camera in a small street. Weird stuff.
