Do all the cartoons need to have a huge message to it? I agree on the merits of the South Park show. However, family guy's episode has a point too, intelligent design does not explain anything beyond magically appearing fully-formed lifeforms. Not that this approach is particularly usefull in convincing anyone. The Simpsons, well it is a somewhat funny movie, but i like the older episodes better, but i cant say they shouldnt try make new ones.
