During an appearance on The Charlie Rose Show, Stone said that they "just play devil's advocate all the time", personifying both sides of the argument and taking "a little funny way out" to differ from the Hollywood liberals in the acting community.Īt a 2006 conference in Amsterdam organized by Reason, Parker and Stone stated that if one had to put a label on them, it would be libertarian. In an interview documented by the Rolling Stone in 2004, they both contended that the libertarian label which had been applied to them in recent years was not entirely appropriate. Parker and Stone are often speculated to be libertarians. In 2006, Parker commented in an interview that they were aware of the concept of the South Park Republican and they both felt that they were "just pretty middle-ground guys".
At an online forum (South Park Studios Chat, May 10, 2001), Parker and Stone wrote that they hated both conservatives and liberals, with Stone famously commenting "I hate conservatives but I really fucking hate liberals".

Now, South Park wasn't the first entity to call attention to this kind of behavior, but the episode served as a massive signal boost that was only aided further when China straight-up permanently banned the series in the country after the ep aired. For those that missed the newer episode, much of it revolved around the fact that the American media is working to appease the Chinese government for financial gains. But since it kinda got the show booted from one of the biggest countries in the world, it definitely counts, and the episode's cultural impact is spreading. It may very well be premature to list "Band in China" as one of the most controversial South Park episodes, since it's still fresh on our minds.

The friend added that Irwin had a great sense of humor, but a joke like this was just too soon after the TV personality's death. A response was prompted from a family friend of the Irwin family that feared the mourning children Bindi and Bob would see the episode and break down. That episode aired less than two months after Irwin's death, so the timing, while intentional, was not taken kindly. Well, many viewers (and otherwise) took issue with the fact that the late wildlife expert Steve Irwin was shown at the party with a stingray dangling from his chest. But that's really par for the course in terms of outlandish story lines, so why would people have been so up in arms with this in 2006? Sure, the story revolves around Satan throwing an awesome Halloween party on Earth, and the Catholic church trying to sabotage it. If one watches "Hell On Wheels 2006" now, they might wonder why it's considered one of the most controversial South Park episodes.
