Trey Parker and Matt Stone go on the record regarding their 9-11 truth South Park episode.
Penn Jillette converses with Trey Parker and Matt Stone on his Free FM radio show. Pen, who has already denounced the 9-11 truth movement on his Showtime series Bullshit!, talks about the 9-11 "conspiracy nuts" and the problems they cause. These comments result in a straight answer from the creators of South Park about their feelings on 9-11 and the now famous 9-11 parody episode. They also mention the 911Truth.org t-shirt logo and their reasons for using it in the episode: "We want people to go see how goofy and dumb these people are..." They also concede the truth movement only seems to be growing and that it can't be stopped. I have no idea if this is their first public response to the episode; however, it is interesting to know the official stance on the subject from the kings of pop culture satire. The talk beings 0:11:45 into the show. This can be streamed from: http://penn.freefm.com/ or downloaded here: http://podcast.penn.freefm.com/penn/251794.mp3
I guess it was simply coincidence that they chose to plug 911Truth.org - one of the very few legitimate 9-11 resources. If they had it to do over again, I would assume they would opt for another source. I also think it safe to say they never researched the site before using it in their show... shame.

I like South Park, but if
I like South Park, but if these guys are actually being real there then screw them.
they are being real. Trey
they are being real. Trey and Matt are world class hypocrites who regularly bash "liberals" for preaching about politics but yet they use their little soapbox every week to make naive conservative political points. couple of fucking morons, i always thought so. i still think much of South Park is funny but i cringe every time they let Stan or Kyle go on their little naive conservative rants at the end of some episodes.
They'reJust Stupid
Here's the original clip from Penn & Teller, if you wanna get really mad:

intelligence
its unfortunate when intelligent people come to conclusions before doing any real research on a subject. =( I can't blame South Park but I expect more from Penn.
no surprise...
South Park was meant to be the writing on the wall. A certain form of 9/11 skepticism can be safely assimilated, as a harmless subculture within the "American mosaic." The skeptics the show depicts are clearly large in number, earnest, well-meaning people -- but also socially inept, not too bright and highly ineffective. I thought it was both funny and sad that so many "truthers" celebrated this episode as an awesome breakthrough. I remember one well-known figure posting about how it was a subversive move by the South Park fellows, their way of promoting the movement.
The one lucky thing about the SP attack was indeed the use of 911Truth.org for the t-shirt. This illustrates the excellent choice of that URL many moons ago by Kyle Hence (the original registrant) and the wisdom, when the group was first chartered in 2004, of Emanuel Sferios's insistence that the URL should be the group name (so that the media end up promoting the URL even when they attack the group).
So let people go to 911Truth.org and see how crazy the skeptics are!

very very sad
People should take a minute to consider just how awful what these people are doing is. They are persecuting people for asking questions. They are helping to protect murderers. They are helping to slaughter more innocent people.
Forget the Nazis--they're yesteryear's evildoers. Today we have Penn, Trey, and Matt--modern day brownshirts.
It is just sickening, and if any of them think they're going to live this down....

I have an idea, let's all
I have an idea, let's all write them nasty and pointless letters. After all these cartoonists are clearly culpable in the attacks of 9/11 since they refuse to believe us.
Or, on the other hand, we could try not to justify their cruel caricatures.
or better yet...
Why don't we follow the advice of shills who tell us to be patient, be nice, politely ask not to be murdered, etc. And by no means suspect anyone of anything until they confess! Especially if they have ties to Israel like Silverstein and the dancing Israelis. Wouldn't that be more or less your style, MG?

"Why don't we follow the advice of shills who tell us to be patient, be nice, politely ask not to be murdered, etc."
You think Matt and Trey are trying to kill you?
floormat and lunchtray
do not concern me in the slightest. if you ask me why they covered 9/11 truth it was probably to get a ratings boost. everyone knows 911T is the hot commodity right now, and the less scrupulous among us are bound to try to squeeze a buck out of it. or hey, maybe they really are one of the thousands of people who realizing the truth prefer to fight for it to remain unknown. time will tell all.
or here's a better one: they are helping to ease people into it by using reverse psychology. all will be revealed once they have the desired effect on people--to get them thinking about the issues with a fairly vanilla introduction to the truth.
which one of those dudes was in michael moore's columbine movie? was mike selling them some fake left street cred?

LOL.
Ouch!
I see you have a 'fan', Verdadero Verdadero, & they're a member of the thought police as well. Lucky you.
This is Bad News
For Trey and Matt, but not for us. Do not forget that the Truth is growing.
The Eleventh Day of Every Month
As expected
When I found out Penn was a government bootlicker I wasnt surprised, he's a class A moron. When the South Park Urinal Deuce episode aired I was very disappointed, I expected more from those guys and was a huge fan of SP until that episode. I listened to the interview (from 11:45 to first commercial) and it was as I expected - NO SUBSTANCE. Just a bunch of "conspiracy theory moonbats" talk, and nothing else. I wonder how they will feel when everything they worked for is gone, and they are locked in a FEMA camp.
Blind idiots. Good Luck.
They are all associated with the fascist media
Penn is a pompous and arrogant ass. He's also a bully. As such, he fits in perfectly with the NWO and Bush. The South Park boys have egos beyond belief. OK, so much for the personal attacks.
They are all either ignorant of the facts or purposely trying to cover for their paymasters. Either way, they are perpetrating the lie. Shame on them.
"If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, it expects what never was and never will be.... The people cannot be safe without information. When the press is free, and every man is able to read, all is safe." Thomas Jefferson
I'm certain hey are blinded
I'm certain they are blinded to the implications of certain facts for the usual reasons. The difference between them and the guy on the street who isn't convinced by the Truth info he's handed is that Trey and Matt draw cartoons.
Don't Expect Much
From those who have made it to the big time.
Truth is like throwing rocks in a glass house. They are so afraid that this will alter their world.... a world which is providing them with comfort.
We can not count on anyone in Hollywood.
Have not heard anything from James Brolin or Charlie Sheen in a while.
although they did threaten to keep Charlie from seeing his children and put him in a pretty compromising position.

i cant stream the video----
which gives me the perfect opportunity to weigh in on this since i havent heard the interview
do you notice'----'goofy' and 'dumb' ---those are just kind of subjective funny descriptions
but they said that 911truth was strong and growing and cant be stopped
-----------------------------------------------
i wonder if they are really pro 911truth----so they pretend like they diss it----while secretly helping to empower it ----in their own way
erm, what?
you "haven't" heard the interview but you can quote it? wow, aounds like you need a job over at the BBC or CNN.
Hmmm
Maybe because it is quoted in the original post and he can "read".?
These guys need to buy a clue...
Is it because they are not so bright?
Is it because they are emotionally weak?
Is it because they are scared of people who live other counties?
Thanks for the publicity, kids.
I smell a conspiracy
... I've pointed this out a few times before, but really, there seems to be a concerted push from the LEFT against us. I am surmising that part of it is the result of some sort of meeting of the mindless. - I remember a while back there was a hit-piece in rolling stone... that might have been the first, but more recently we saw Alex Cockburn's hit piece and also that of the BBC. There are about a half dozen more, but it gets hard to tell who was in on it from the beginning, who just jumped on the bandwagon and who just wants to dive into controversy for publicity, regardless. In any case, we've become the whipping boy. It's time we take our task masters to task for hypocracy.
Something I've noticed in ALL of the recent hit pieces - and the fact that they all share this is an indictment in and of itself - is that they all accuse the Truth Movement of cherry picking and bad science --> while at the same time cherry picking the craziest theories to dispute. those which have for the most part been discredited even among us, as examples - AND choosing the wackiest science off all, regarding the goldbergian fuel feed of the WTC 7 fire to support their claims.
Don't get me wrong, I think we're to blame too, for not self-debunking the maniacs among us, but really... I have not seen a recent hit-piece that did not DO the same thing they claim of us in THE SAME DAMN ARTICLE. I think one of the most recent even purported that 'holographic planes' were the most recent of theories. THIS HAS TO END. We need a united stance, and a united front AND most important of all, we need to be able to threaten them via activism so that they can not lump us all into the nutball crowd, because we have LEGITIMATE questions that REQUIRE ANSWERS.
Would you like an honest response?
It is because the left actually is effected by you guys. You nutjobs make them look bad. The right just finds you hilarious, but we don't actually mind you that much because you make the lefties look like idiots by association. Keep it up, I encourage it. With the exception of a few far right people like the neo-Nazis and extreme libertarians of course.
So yes they are going to get pissed off and attack you, because you actually hurt their chances of advancing their political agenda. Every time you attack John McCain, and support the anti-war agenda, you help the Republicans, because most people don't want to be associated with you, and it makes them look good (or bad) by comparison.
So keep it up, maybe you can push my man McCain into the White House in 2008!
Hey, I know this post guarantees me a -10 score, but this is the honest truth, take it or leave it.
Stinger
We just can't fool JimmieB..... He's got us pegged once again.
911 is just our wacked out political agenda. We are using it to get our people into the White House. Can't pull the wool over his eyes.
You see I laugh at people who listen to Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Liely and I don't understand anyone who reads Ann Coulters books. Frankly surprised that their fans even read.
Half of what they say is just a personal attack. They spread hate which seems to appeal to their fans who are of the lowest denominator. Do you realize that their entire career at this point hinges on the propogation of 911?
You know what? No matter how much I think that ttheir beliefs are wacked out..... I do not spend all day cruising their site to add my two cents to their argument.
You see.... they have nothing to offer me..... nothing intelligent at least. How do I know that? Because I have encountered enough of you coming here and bringing nothing to the table.
Please continue doing what you do JimmieB.... whatever that may be?? You only make us look better everytime you give your input. If you and your internet friends are laughing at us like you profess.... perhaps you could convince them to come play with us too..... and we'll have an old time throw down.
Because if their excuses are as weak as yours we'll have a grand old time beating them with their own giggle stick.
Uhhhh..... John O'Neil.... security.... LOL..... you guys dumb! DEBUNKED! LOL!......next!
Pentagon.....video..... I saw a plane... duh! DEBUNKED!
Buildings fall down.... all the time..... fire.... pancaked.... NIST wrote a report... it was long.... had pictures and graphs.... somebody read it..... DEBUNKED!
You guys are great..... really?

Considering I didn't even wake up until 10:30, I think you are exaggerating my effort.
It is not like I stare at the screen all day. I am a student, on and off throughout the day, when I am bored of working on a finance paper, I flip through half a dozen sites and check out what is new.
I will be out of the country soon for a couple of weeks though, you will have to get by without my wisdom for a while.
