Thus my careful choice of the word "condone".
My point is: why are we celebrating this movie, rather than standing in
front of movie theaters exercising our right to free speech to publicly
criticize it?
Though I grant them the full right to make South Park, or any movie they
want, why are we rewarding a movie containing these elements with a profit,
and incentive to repeat it?

P.S. -- anyone who replies that I have the right to just not watch the movie
gets 20 demerits. Grant me the credit for having actually thought of such
an obvious reply, and that despite it, I'm still raising objections.
