A justification for American militarism from the South Park guys in the form of “dicks have to fuck assholes” or whatever.

    Taken on its own, the first scene of this movie - where Team America blows up France for basically no reason - could be read as a critique of American interventionism. “This is what we do to other countries, imagine if we did it to white people!”

    Also, if you were to take the final monologue, and put the text “THIS IS WHAT AMERICANS ACTUALLY BELIEVE” under it, it would actually become really funny.

      Imagine if those two credulous dipshits were self-aware enough to link Scientology and Mormonism to America, the place that birthed those cults.

      That would have been a hell of a film.
