Sex, Romance & Nudity
a lot
Explicit. Frequent references to sexual acts. In one scene, "Winona Ryder" shoots ping-pong balls out of her vagin*. While in bed with Satan, Saddam Hussein pulls out a large life-like penis (not animated). Kids watch p*rn involving fecal matter on a computer; it's not shown but clearly heard and understood. A boy with a crush on a girl is advised, "You gotta find the cl*tor*s." Later, a giant cl*tor*s appears with more advice for the boy about how to get the girl to like him.

Language
a lot
While satirical in intent, there is incessant and unrelenting profanity, often used by kids. Just about every curse word in the book is used -- and then some. In addition to all the expected four-letter words and their offshoots, words such as "f--got" and "darkie" are used, and the word "Jew" is used in a negative way. Some families may be offended by one character calling God a "f--got" and saying "God is the biggest bitch of them all." Over 100 uses of "f--k."

Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut is a 1999 feature-length version of the popular animated series; this movie is much raunchier and more explicit than the TV series and anything else a child (or, for that matter, a parent) is likely to have seen. Strong language (often used by kids) is as rampant as the dark humor, and there are crass sexual references galore. Celebrities are bombed to death, are shot in the face, and commit suicide, and another celebrity is shown shooting ping-pong balls from her vagin*. One character makes obscene and blasphemous remarks about God. Kids give a homeless man money for vodka in exchange for him posing as their "guardian" who lets them in to see an R-rated movie in a theater. The profanity and obscenity are taken to the utmost limit, and, as such, this is not something for kids.

What's the Story?
Art imitates life, as the plot of SOUTH PARK: BIGGER, LONGER, AND UNCUT has its quartet of third-graders sneaking into a Canadian R-rated movie and repeating the profanity they heard. This becomes so upsetting to the community that the U.S. declares war on Canada. One of the children gets a V-chip implanted in his head that shocks him when he says something inappropriate. And Kenny, killed once again, ends up in hell, where Satan and Saddam Hussein are hom*osexual lovers.
