      • VHS Description

      If you're male or female or of any particular ethnic, sexual, religious, or national persuasion, this movie may offend you. Or perhaps this movie may make you laugh more than any other recent comedy. 

      Fame. Authority. Show tunes. The military. Race. Sex. Religion. The way to a woman's heart. The creators of TV's South Park skewer all in a feature-length story that plunges an outraged U.S. into war with Canada after South Park's schoolkids sneak into a restricted Canadian-mad film and emerge, their fragile little minds warped, spouting expletives that would make a sex-shop proprietor blush. What? Is your mind already warped? Well, friend, it looks like this movie is perfect for you.
