Scrotie McBoogerballs


Just checked out an episode from the new season of South Park:
"The Tale of Scrotie McBooger Balls"

I feel like they're losing their touch a little bit the last few seasons, but I liked this one. Without spoiling it if you want to watch it, I'll say this episode's main focus is on imagery in art. I agree with them in saying that way too many people read way too far into art. Some people think that every book, movie, and song has some deeper meaning under the surface. Not every piece of work is an "Animal Farm." I think a majority of the time an artist/author has said what they were trying to say on the surface of their creation. In cases where it IS meant to be given a deeper look, I think most people come to false conclusions about what is being said. People use "imagery" messages in art as a vehicle to push their personal religious and political agendas to other people. Maybe some artists want that - for their art to be about whatever you interpret it to be. Some might just be out to confuse you. There's probably an author/artist out there right now laughing at people for calling the main character of their work a "Jesus figure."
