In my opinion, if I had to vote just one celebrity off of the island, would pick Eric Cartman from the television series South Park. The main reason I would choose him is because I think he poses ideas, into mainly teenage boys’ minds, as comical but are really just corrupting.
Cartman is foulmouthed and disgusting. He makes jokes about farts and other bodily functions. Young boys, and some girls, do naturally find these subjects humorous, but Cartman is relentless and no child in real life should base 100% of their humor around such nastiness. He also pretends to be people’s friends sometimes when he needs a favor, and that is something that should most definitely not be taught to anyone. He commands around his mother and when that does not work, he whines until he gets what he wants. It is so disrespectful to treat a parent like that, and should not be demonstrated for children and teenagers. Cartman is also a complete bigot. He pokes fun at his friend Kyle, who is Jewish. Cartman’s anti-Semitism has influenced people I personally know, calling everyone “stupid Jews.” I think that is the most demeaning thing, and totally inappropriate to exercise in reality.
I believe that if anyone, of any age, sees South Park and takes notice of the way Cartman treats his friends, parent, and teachers, that is how they will act in real life. I have see it with my own eyes, and I know that they got the joke, line, or demand from Cartman specifically, because they say it in “the Cartman voice.” The show would be a bit more decent if Cartman was voted off the island. He has no positive influence on anyone, at all, ever.
Cartman...
ReplyDeleteI truly would miss him but he had done it to him self. If only he had listened to the warnings of his three friends he would have never been in the position to have been banished. The show usually gives a foil to Cartmans ways, and usually at the end of the episode he learns somewhat of a lesson, even if it is short lived. The reality is, there are many people who are as extreme as Cartman is...
Nice character choice
haha i love south park but i def agree with you about cartman, he is rude and crude and generally should not be on tv. the show its self is always crossing every moral line possible.
ReplyDeletehaha i used to watch south park all the time, and i deff agree with you with that. he does show rude behavior and its a bad influence on kids and how they should treat others. though it can be funny, its insulting to those he is talking toward.
