I just watched 3 episodes of SouthPark on my computer with a related theme of the impact of the Internet on society.

Collectively, the video clips provide uniques insights on where we or our children are on digital spaces and raise interesting questions about the use of technology and tech dependence, what MMORPGs are like, online porn, the digital divide, friendship on FaceBook, parenting the Net Gen, etc.  I am planning to use this in a class for discussion with my students at the Singapore Bible College. Consider the fact that I watched it on my laptop, not on TV.  What does it say about new media?

The language in SouthPark is coarse, so be warned!
