Hussein forced to watch 'South Park'

[ECH1969]

Saddam Hussein has been forced to watch South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, according to the film's co-creator Matt Stone.

The former Iraqi leader is portrayed in the movie as a homosexual who is in a relationship with the devil, and Stone claims the prisoner is being forced to watch it "repeatedly" as he is held by US Marines.

The South Park movie was banned on release in Iraq seven years ago.

1. wow that will make the sunnis stop the insurgency!

does a bonehead idea like this come from enlisted soldiers or from up the COC?

1. its not THAT funny.
2. by what right do we torture prisoners in this way?
3. was it dubbed into Arabic first? no? then not that effective...

[knowbody0]

2. I am embarrassed by this

Not funny.

[LostinVA]

6. I agree -- juvenile and undignified

[AX10]

24. Well Stone is claiming this.

Also, he is a right wing libertarian extremist.

[meldroc]

3. ROFL!!!

:rofl:

I'm sorry, I can't help but laugh at the images I'm imagining of the expression on Saddam's face as he's watching this. As screwed up as the war is, I'm not shedding a single tear for Saddam.

[TrogL]

4. They're torturing him with a funny movie. What's next, the comfy chair?

[Oreo]

8. As long as they don't bring out the cushy pillows!

NO! Not the cushy pillows!

[PurityOfEssence]

25. Calling Cardinal Fang, calling Cardinal Fang

No one expects...

[bmbmd]

53. Well-that's what Brian Boitano

would do.

[LiberalFighter]

5. I want a version with dimwit bush filling in for Hussein

Let Hussein and dimwit bush both watch it nonstop.

How about one with Rumsfeld doing a fabulous job directing the war in Iraq?

South Park should also do one with dimwit flying in secretly to prove his bravery.


Those Marines are idiots!!

[Lisa]

16. a Canadian comedy show (Comedy Inc.) recently did a bit ...

.... where Hussein sues Bush in front of "Judge Judy", and Bush counter-sues him. The Bush imitator was whining that Hussein's lack of WMDs "made me look like a bully" and "incomp ... incomprehens ... incontinent?" (incompetent), and kept pulling out obviously-crayoned fake "satellite photos".

I agree ... I would like to see both those guys locked in a room, watching footage of themselves being derided by comedians from around the world.

[warrens]

45. I'd like to see bush locked in a room period

20 or 30 years should do it.

:nopity:

[librechik]

36. Heh-somebody besides me finds watching South Park torture?

glad to know I'm not alone...

[jakefrep]

44. Me too....

...South Park is lame.

[Webster Green]

12. Hey, I'm no fan of his, but we have no right to be holding him.

None at all.

[geek tragedy]

18. You're smearing US Marines and calling them war criminals

because they're making Hussein watch a movie?

38. Unless im mistake there has only been one accusation of rape

please stop painting with a broad brush. The vast majority of them are just trying to do their jobs, which is exactly what i would do.

[zreosumgame]

46. rape, then murder of the entire fsmily you mean

as to 'only one accuesation' well you need to pay more attention.

[muryan]

52. yes, im aware of that one incident.

However since im not paying attention would you please link a source of another incident in which soldiers were brought up on charges for rape and murder?

62. Rampant? What do you mean by "rampant"?

We all know about the Haditha incident -- which still hasn't even gone on trial. But besides that, what other incidents are there? There must be a whole lot of them, because you said the murder and torture was "rampant". But only a troll, disruptor, or otherwise complete, total idiot would make such an accusation without having ready evidence at hand to back their accusation up.

And of course, needless to say, you're able to supply us here with that evidence...

68. Well since you know everything

you also know that put in their exact same situation you would never ever ever make a mistake right? Im not sure how you classify all troops as the scum of the earth. I have 3 friends in iraq, all democrats, and all very liberal. They are there because they are poor and need money for college. None of them are the type to rape a girl and murder her family to cover it up, yet according to you they are. So please keep your rants to yourself if you are just going to slander the otherwise goodname of respectable people.

[brentspeak]

63. What are the other accusations?

Don't run away, Myron. Provide us with some detailed information on all these other accusations you spoke of.

28. So, you hate US soldiers and defend Saddam's right

to walk free.

But I won't question your patriotism.

[Webster Green]

29. I don't hate them, but I think they are following illegal orders...

...making them war criminals.

I don't believe we have the legal authority to have removed the Iraqi leader and subjecting him to a US Kangaroo court.

I don't think we had the right to invade Iraq in the first place, so all the events that have followed are illegal as well.

[lgn19087]

30. I for one won't shed a tear for the bastard

there are people in the world who are truly evil. Bush may be one of them, and Saddam certainly is. I've talked with Iraqis who had relatives that lived under him. I dare not repeat the kinds of things he did on here. For me, there's only one choice as to what should happen to Saddam: Regular, or extra-crispy.

[geek tragedy]

31. For your information, US soldiers are not war criminals

as they have not violated any of the laws governing the conduct of war. (Unless, of course, certain individuals have).

It is not up to the grunts to determine the legality of a war. They are soldiers, not judges and lawyers.

[INDIA]

48. Was Casey Sheehan a war criminal??? n/t

[personman]

35. Patriotism...

I think it's a tool governments and the elite use to separate us, and to condition people in such a fashion that they can look at other people as less then human and justify commiting attrocities against eachother to themselves.

I don't really care what happens to Saddam, but I disagree that lack of patriotism is an undesirable. Maybe if people were a little less patriotic and a little more empathetic we could all quit killing and robbing eachother.

-personman

“Patriotism ... is a superstition artificially created and maintained through a network of lies and falsehoods; a superstition that robs man of his self-respect and dignity, and increases his arrogance and conceit.”

“The people are urged to be patriotic ... by sacrificing their own children. Patriotism requires allegiance to the flag, which means obedience and readiness to kill father, mother, brother, sister.”

-Emma Goldman

“(Nationalism is) a set of beliefs taught to each generation in which the Motherland or the Fatherland is an object of veneration and becomes a burning cause for which one becomes willing to kill the children of other motherlands or fatherlands.”

-Howard Zinn

[Zynx]

43. I am not going to for one moment smear all the soldiers in Iraq like that.

The political leaders at home are to blame.

How the freak would you know?

[manic expression]

57. Try looking a the past few years or so

maybe that'll give you some of the answers you seek. It's not my fault you refuse to remember what's been happening for over a third of a decade.

Seriously, go read a newspaper, I don't need to cite common knowledge.

55. Why are you telling US your opinions on the troops?

Why don't you go to the nearest U.S. military base located in your area? Tell the troops stationed there what you told us. In person. I think it's only fair that accused people get an opportunity to know who their accusers are.

32. As one forced by my younger brother to watch 'Scooby Doo'

throughout my teen years, it can be torture.

[endarkenment]

9. I call bullshit on this article.

Provide a real news link. This is a FOAF bunch'o'crap.

[zreosumgame]

21. yup, it is 'according to Matt Stone'

not a very reliable source seeing he is part of the South Park crew. not known for deep thought or non-partisanship after all.

[slackmaster]

10. Did they put lid-locks on his eyes?

And play Beethoven symphonies?

[daleo]

13. The story seems just stupid enough to be true

Bush and Rummy should be forced to watch "The World's Bloodiest Home Videos". Unfortunately they would probably enjoy it, if such a thing existed.

[Sugar Smack]

14. Wait, WHAT?

I feel like I've stepped into a Salvador Dali painting that I can't get out of. :wow:

[zara]

15. American Idiots!

[onenote]

17. and why am I supposed to believe this is true?

A lot of folks who doubt many many things seem to be accepting this as the unvarnished truth based on nothing more than Matt Stone's alleged statement that he's been told this? Matt Stone? Give me a break.

[Tulum_Moon]

19. If it's true it is a pathetic

form of torture. It kinda is embarrassing and undignified. The marines are probably the ones watching it.

[muryan]

39. How the hell is it any form of torture

its a damn movie. Seriously, relax the sphincter.

[Blue_Tires]

23. how would matt stone know?

unless he's been in to visit hussein personally?

[VegasWolf]

26. Bah! That's nothing! If they really wanted to torture the poor guy, then

they would have made him watch Bush's State of the Union addresses over and over. I would have been a raving lunatic after that!

[drm604]

33. Come on people, do you really believe this?

Just because Matt Stone claims it doesn't mean it's true. How would he even know? It sounds like he was making a joke.

[Canuckistanian]

34. Why are Marines holding him?

I thought he was a prisoner of the state of Iraq.

What has Saddam ever done to America?

[LynneSin]

37. What, "Gigli" and "From Justin to Kelly" checked out from blockbuster

:shrug:

[Ilsa]

40. So, they are holding his eyes open and translating it into

Arabic? How do you "force" someone to watch?

This is so preposterous and juvenile.

[Zorra]

41. Maybe they'll make Bu*h watch "The Grapes Of Wrath",

"Hitler's Last Days", & "Fahrenheit 9/11" over and over after he is arrested.

[IronLionZion]

42. I wouldn't be surprised

if the Marines made him watch it and then told Matt Stone about it. Never forget how Bush 41 got Noriega to surrender by blasting country and rock music. Psychological warfare

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_Noriega

[ButterflyBlood]

47. Man, I wish I could be "tortured" in that way

That movie is fucking hysterical.

[Miss Chybil]

49. Why?

When you have a prisoner the charge is "care, custody and control." There is no requirement for torture, belittlement, humiliation, or entertainment. I don't get it.

[KamaAina]

50. Oh, they're serious! It's not The Onion after all!

:shrug:

[Julius Civitatus]

51. Stone & Parker (South Park creators) are REPUBLICANS

besides juvenile, immature assholes.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker have said often that they are PROUD REPUBLICANS. Keep that in mind, to being with.

But now... who is in charge of this?

What's the point of showing Saddam Hussein a silly cartoon that depicts him in a silly manner?

Seriously... What is the freaking point? This is nothing but Freeper wankerism.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

58. supposedly hitler watched chaplin's "the Great Dictator" twice

and rather enjoyed it

[NeoConsSuck]

60. And American schoolchildren

were forced to listen to our pretzel challenged prez attempt to read 'My Pet Goat'.

Hussein doesn't have it that bad...

[ckramer]

67. I couldn't stand watching South Park for 5 seconds when I do the

channel flipping. It's totally gross.
