South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker have been known to ruffle more than a few feathers. When Jerry Seinfeld got in contact to say he would be interested in becoming a voice actor for the show, Stone and Parker offered him the non-speaking part of “Turkey No. 2”. Offended, Seinfeld rejected the offer. Once Stone and Parker even wore the same dresses Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Lopez wore the year earlier and attended the Oscars on acid.
South Park was the first show in television history to be classified by the FCC as “TV-MA”, meaning only suitable for mature audiences. Before the release of the movie South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut in 1999, the MPAA requested that they change the film so that it could be rated R, instead of NC-17. The difference in rating would allow children under the age of 17 to be accompanied by an a parent or adult guardian.
This is the official memo sent by Matt Stone:
Transcript
Here is our new cut of the South Park movie to submit to the MPAA. I wanted to tell you exactly what notes we did and did not address.
1. We left in both the “fisting” and the “rimjob” references in the counselor’s office scene. We did cut the word “hole” from “asshole” as per our conversation.
2. We took out the entire “God has fucked me in the ass so many times…” It is gone.
3. Although it is not animated yet, we put a new storyboard in for clarification in the scene with Saddam Hussein’s penis. The intent now is that you never see Saddam’s real penis, he in fact is using dildos both times.
4. We have the shot animated that reveals the fact that Winona is not shooting ping-pong balls from her vagina. She is, in fact, hitting the balls with a ping-pong paddle.
5. We took out the only reference to “cum-sucking ass” in the film. It was in the counselor’s office and we took it out.
6. We left in the scenes with Cartman’s mom and the horse as per our conversation. This is the one joke we really want to fight for.
Call with any questions.
Matt
P.S. This is my favorite memo ever.
