Memorable quote from Team America: World Police

"See, there are three kinds of people: dicks, pussies, and assholes. Pussies think everyone can get along and dicks just want to fuck all the time without thinking it through. But then you got your assholes, Chuck. And all the assholes want is to shit all over everything. So pussies may get mad at dicks once in a while because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes, Chuck. And if they didn't fuck the assholes, you know what you'd get? You'd get your dick and your pussy all covered in shit!"



"Pussies don't like dicks because pussies get fucked by dicks. But dicks also fuck assholes. Assholes who just want to shit on everything. Pussies may think they can deal with assholes their way. But the only thing that can fuck an asshole is a dick, with some balls. The problem with dicks is that sometimes they fuck too much or fuck when it isn't appropriate. And it takes a pussy to show them that. But sometimes pussies get so full of shit that they become assholes themselves. Because pussies are only a inch and half away from assholes. I don't know much in this crazy crazy world, but I do know that if you don't let us fuck this asshole we're going to have our dicks and our pussies all covered in shit."



You know what? Sophomoric, toilet humor - most definitely. Lampooning ideas I hold dear - yes. Still, that's not a half-bad description of how it is. Trey Parker and Matt Stone are sharp. They once again score points as the preeminent satirists (and covert commentators) of Generation-X.

ADD: In political science terms, "pussies" stand in for the spiral model and "dicks" stand in for the deterrence model.
