Lincoln mocks Lenny

Also just a quick question.

What have ea done to offend Americans? I've not completed the quest chain yet and eager to know what the fuss is about
  • They've done nothing. Apparently there are just a few people who take things way too serious & have gotten their panties in a bunch because they seem to forget that this is merely a game based on a animated series

    Did you come on yesterday and get your free fireworks? They said "sorry for our behaviour the last 10 years" and Abe comments on them "being a little bit racist after 150 years"

    But it's a cartoon so shouldn't be offended


    I totally agree that nobody should be offended, and those that are offended are incapable of self criticism and are lacking a sense of humor. But simply because the show is animated does not mean it lacks substance and cannot be a means of espousing ideas or beliefs. Shows like Simpsons and South Park have always brought up views that reflect the opinions of the shows writers and or creators, some very hot button issues have been brought up over the years, as they should be.


    My point is that it is just as relevaent a platform as any other, be it music, books, film or live action TV for that matter.

    Drama Queens will be Drama Queens regardless of where the material that offends them comes from.
  • I know lol.

    Im just gonna stop here as i dont really care about it.

    South Park was created by Canadians and makes fun of Canada so much lol

    Matt and Trey are both from Colorado, with Matt being born in Texas.
  • Nope. Trey was married to a Japanese woman which is why Japanese has a heavy prominence in the series, but that's it. They mock all countries and cultures, USA included. USA especially.

    I must have missed the racist comment. Maybe I tapped through too fast. Still not offended, and in a way the comment is right on for some people...

    Ya Lisa was all like he Abe we have a black president and he's like wow took ya long enough give yourselves a pat on the back for being a little less racist after 150 years I would've thought you'd have a black president by 1920 or 1930

    Oh, yeah. I kind of remember that now. They're jokes along the lines of "A gay republican for president in 2084." Nothing new to the series I don't think.
