"Team America" is on Showtime now. Interesting how it seems...
...like more of a fly-on-the-wall documentary than satire these days...

2. A movie made by the South Park guys.
It's done with puppets, like the old 'Stingray' and 'Thunderbirds' shows from the 60s, but is a tad more scathing. Here are some links:

4. There are some very funny moments...
...and it certainly gets the idea that we destroy things to save them right on (blitzing the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and the Louvre to catch three 'terraists').

It's typical Trey Parker humor, so if you like that, you'll find it funny.

7. PUPPET SEX!!!
The "puppet sex" scene is HYSTERICAL! Everthing I ever wanted to do with Barbie and Ken, and more!

And Kim Jong-Il made the movie for me. I kept singing "I'm so ronery" during the whole missile thing.

It was absolutely off the hook funny! I remember doing the same with Barbie and Ken.... :evilgrin:

Oh yeah, KJI's singing "I'm So Ronery" was funny, LOL!
