I am in no way a perfect parent or anywhere close. But I would never allow my child to watch South Park. She's nearly 7, DP has a 10 year old and she wouldn't be allowed either. I wouldn't be comfortable with them watching Eastenders either.

Let him watch Happy Tree Friends instead

Sorry soup cant resist this one

How about Game of Thrones instead

Worra, I do think that the racism in programmes such as South park/ Family Guy etc is ironic. It is really just holding a mirror up to society and addressing some of the ridiculous prejudices which people hold. However you really do have to be an adult to understand this and therefore see the humour it intends, this is why it is probably not a good idea to allow young children to watch it. It wasn't designed to be for children, which is why it pisses me off when I see their logos on kids clothes and toys.

For God's sake, I always fall for zombie bloody threads aaaarrrrggghhh!
Dis someone mention Game of Thrones?

Southpark is a cartoon. For adults!
I would never want my child thinking it's OK to make fun of disabled children or explaining what the 'search for the clit' was!
I've watched it as a young adult and the content is totally inappropriate. Big no!

[FaFoutis]

Age 11 they learn about clits at school, and Timmy is challenging disabled stereotypes.

[BaggyCheeks]

Yay a Zombie Thread!

I am young enough to have been at school when South Park first came out. All it lead to was primary aged children getting told off for swearing at each other - Oh my God, you killed Kenny/Susan/Peter! You bastard! 11 year olds really aren't that sophisticated.

South Park is shocking. The attitudes against disabled people, constant reference to kyle the " jew" it.is totally for adults. As ppl said you need to appreciate the irony in it if you can tolerate watching it. I think 15 is a reasonable age before that it's just a recipe for disaster. I agree with the soaps though, I never had a problem with it then when ""robron" started with some very raunchy gay scenes I've not let mine watch a soap since. ( and yes i would have said the same had it been hetero sex although that would have take a bit less explanation)
Yes it's real life but they don't need to see it.

Zombie Thread

[Hadenoughoftumble]

This thread is 4 years old and I'm not sure if people still watch sp?
And ee is just as awful as it has always been!

[StrawberrytallCake]

Weird that a zombie thread is advertised on the home page

Urgh South Park. Would far rather let an 11 year old watch EastEnders than South Park any day.

[Andrewofgg]

If I was bringing up a child now there's be no TV in the house, and that includes my room.

My great-niece, now 22 month, is being brought up without one and I will see with interest how it turns out. There was not one in my home till I was ten and I still turn instinctively to the radio before the television for entertainment.

[Unicorn1981]

I've been watching Eastenders since I was about five and I'm ok 😆

[TheJediSmurf]

No no no no no 11 years old and watching south park !?!???? I'd make it very clear that no soaps or South Park will not be going on tv in my house.

[CherryPicking]

Why not just let him watch something better? Coronation St is something I'm growing to love. Although I do realise your son is 11, not 67.

[HarryPottersMagicWand]

THE SON IS NOT 11, HE WILL BE 16 NOW. IT'S A 4 YEAR OLD THREAD

[CherryPicking]

Well it might be interesting to see if he'll join us for a web chat so we can see how SP has affected his moral character then. I make him 15 BTW, and please don't shout.

[SoupDragon]

You didn't make him 15 2 hours ago.
