Yes I know "South Park is a cartoon show on Comedy Central. I usually enjoy it. The episode I watched the other night rather disturbed me. It was about a home shopping network that rips off senile senior citizens. Yes that is terrible if its true The premise perturbed me. What was most disturbing was how the characters told the host to kill himself. Please note I am no way sympathetic for cheating anyone. My concern was someone who is suicidal or leaning toward suicide c ould be pushed over the edge. I am not suicidal myself I am concerned for those who are. OTOH do you think I'm being just an over concerned worry wort? Please let me know Thanks.

There are so many offensive things on South Park that I would only watch if I were in a non depressed stable mood.
Thanks for this!

That episode is pretty funny. South Park is dark, mature comedy for audiences who are into that sort of thing... avoid it if it upsets you.

Usually people kill themselves when they feel that they have no other option. Usually these people are in a dark place in life. Only those with a poor fund of intellect would be pushed over the edge based on something on television.

relationship problems. drug addiction. financial problems. debt. legal problems. trauma. these are reasons people tend to think about suicide. Cartoons? no. Suicide isn't a joke buddy. sometimes life can really take a turn for the worse you wouldn't believe. get some perspective

I agree. It can be gross and offensive (Mr Hanky), but it also can be funny (Ike saving the Princess of Canada).
Don't watch it if it bothers you
