The Awful Red-Hot Passion

We recently finished watching season 1 of Michael Moore’s old show The Awful Truth. I’d never seen it before, though I’d seen clips (Moore leading the voice-box quior in christmas carols outside of Philip Morris, for example) here and there. It would’ve been a good series to watch, but it was a little too much to take in all at once. I don’t think I’ll bother with season 2.

Around the same time we got the South Park episode “Passion Of The Jew” from Zip. The episode itself wasn’t that great, though it did skewer all the hype around the movie. The real horribly disgusting and wonderful gem on the disc was “Red Hot Catholic Love”. It involves religious hyprocrisy, systemic corruption and defecating from the mouth. It was sick and brilliant and made me laugh my ass off. The last episode where Cartman becomes a Christian pop star was funny too, but just couldn’t compete.

I kick myself for not watching South Park the last few years. I’ll have to rent the DVDs. I’ll also have to watch them myself. My wife? Not really a fan. I can’t imagine why…
