Oh my Jonas: Guess who got spoofed on South Park!
Maybe the potty-mouthed kids from South Park could use a visit from the too-wholesome-to-be-true Jonas Brothers.
Or maybe putting the two groups on the same screen takes something away from both of them. Who knows?
I missed last night's season premiere of the raunchy Comedy Central staple, and in truth, South Park hasn't been on my required viewing list for years. Generally, I think it's hysterical. I just don't have time for it.
In any event, it seems they took on the Jonas Brothers in an episode that, according to one reviewer, somehow managed to stand up for religion and sexual freedom at the same time.
The basic plot is that Kenny (the one who's always dying) has a girlfriend he tries to get into bed, so he takes her to a Jonas Brothers concert, where they receive purity rings. The brothers end up standing up to Disney, which (in the show) is using the brothers in an underhanded way to promote adolescent sex.
My younger stepdaughter is a big Jonas Brothers fan, and she doesn't take too kindly to seeing them mocked.
Will she want to see this episode? I don't know. If she does want to see it, should she be allowed to?
Fortunately, the show's not on my stepkids' radar, so my wife and I are spared the responsibility of deciding how to handle it.
But knowing how over-the-top the creators of South Park can be, I just wonder how we would deal with it if they did want to see it.
At what age would you let your kids watch South Park? And if you've seen the Jonas Brothers episode, would you feel comfortable letting a 13-year-old watch it?
