If you think Saddam and Satan are a kinky couple, wait 'til you get a load of South Park and Philosophy. Like "Mr. Hanky at Christmas", this is a book whose time has come. On the cheesy poof-stained pages within, 22 philosophers address perennial questions such as, Is Dan Rather real? Should Big Gay Al be allowed to marry Mr. Slave? And, of course, what does philosophy have to do with flatulence? M'kay. Current concerns are also considered. Are American voters inevitably forced to choose between a turd and a douche? Does South Park's blasphemous humor go too far? If it's OK to ridicule Islam, is it OK to skewer Scientology? How does Cartmanland raise the problem of evil? If you like Chef's salty balls, you'll love this book - unless of course you're a damn hippie. In which case, you go to hell...you go to hell and you die! So get your Big Wheels ready and, whether you've got one or four assess, we're goin' for a ride!
