Often, in discussions about old movies, someone will say, "That movie couldn't be made today.", and inevitably someone else will disagree.

Heck yeah, the unedited or "Not Rated" DVD version had the uncut scene where she defecates on his chest! Quite funny at the time, but I cannot imagine then doing something like that now, nor all the 9/11 jokes. Plus making fun of NK's Jim Jong Il. I feel like you couldn't really do that without stirring the pot at least a little bit.

    Big disagree. It was outrageous then and it would be outrageous now. The southpark movie was fucking mindblowing when I saw it in the theater. Parker and Stone push boundaries, and it works for them every time. Theyre kind of American heroes in my book.
