Blame Canada

Here is an inside tidbit. I have been hypnotized by lyrics. Each and every song which has any meaningful line in its lyrics, I like whole-heartedly. If you have noted, I posted a few lyrics before. In the same tradition, here are the super-awesome lyrics of Oscar nominated song from South park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, titled 'Blame Canada'

Sheila: Times have changed
Our kids are getting worse
They won't obey their parents
They just want to fart and curse!
Sharon: Should we blame the government?
Liane: Or blame society?
Dads: Or should we blame the images on TV?
Sheila: No, blame Canada
Everyone: Blame Canada
Sheila: With all their beady little eyes
And flapping heads so full of lies
Everyone: Blame Canada
Blame Canada
Sheila: We need to form a full assault
Everyone: It's Canada's fault!
Sharon: Don't blame me
For my son Stan
He saw the damn cartoon
And now he's off to join the Klan!
Liane: And my boy Eric once
Had my picture on his shelf
But now when I see him he tells me to fuck myself!
Sheila: Well, blame Canada
Everyone: Blame Canada
Sheila: It seems that everything's gone wrong
Since Canada came along
Everyone: Blame Canada
Blame Canada
Copy Guy: They're not even a real country anyway
Ms. McCormick: My son could've been a doctor or a lawyer rich and true,
Instead he burned up like a piggy on the barbecue
Everyone: Should we blame the matches?
Should we blame the fire?
Or the doctors who allowed him to expire?
Sheila: heck no!
Everyone: Blame Canada
Blame Canada
Sheila: With all their hockey hullabaloo
Liane: And that bitch Anne Murray too
Everyone: Blame Canada
Shame on Canada
For...
The smut we must stop
The trash we must bash
The Laughter and fun
Must all be undone
We must blame them and cause a fuss
Before somebody thinks of blaming uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus!!!!

Its friendship day....Sandeep came home and I finished Resident Evil 4

Its friendship day folks! So happy friendship day to all of my friends, old and new. 

Coming on regular topics. Sandeep came home today and will be staying for two days. I am planning to go to Chhoti sadri now and again on Rakhi, but will have to see how that turns out.

I finished Resident Evil 4 and it rocks! A full review is in pipeline. As of now, there arent many games to play. I am playing Flatout: Ultimate carnage and Condmned: Criminal Origins as of now.

Time is boring a bit. Apart from studies, what am I supposed to do? I have finished watching Friends and Joey, Smallville and Prison break are still far from their next seasons. No decent game is getting released. All I do these days is playing some remaining games and watching 'South park' here and there.

But when it will start, I will be under an avalanche of entertainment. Smallville and Prison break will return. Many high profile games like Far Cry 2, Dead space, Just cause 2, Tomb raider: Underworld, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear sky, Spore, Crysis: warhead, Brother in arms: Hell's highway, Fallout 3, Project Origin, End war, Call of duty: World at war, Mirror's edge, Need for speed: undercover and Prince of Persia will release. 

Also, right from the day Square Enix announced Final Fantasy XIII going multi-platform, I was angry at them. Partly because of being a Sony fanboy, but more because of the possibilities of corners cutting for the game. It was a consolation that Versus is still a PS3 exclusive. 

But the announcement from Enix that there DKS3713 (this is one mighty strange name I must day) event will turn the ball in favor of Sony, made me a little excited. Today was first day of the two day event where they announced a few things. All were related to Sony platforms. These can be summarized as follows-

- The 3rd Birthday will be on the PSP as well. Nomura's team will be working on it.  
- The FFXIII demo will be included in FFVII-Advent Children Complete, as will trailers for Versus XIII and AgitoXIII.
- There will also be a FFVIIAdvent Children Complete PS3 bundle. The release will be in March 2009.
- FF Agito XIII will also be released on the PSP, no release window. The 3rd Birthday PSP will be out in 2009.
- FF VersusXIII's trailer says "Playstation3 only Worldwide".
- Dissidia PSP bundle confirmed. Release date will be in Dec 2008.
- KH PSP is 2009.

All in all, these are surely good announcements from Sony perspective, especially for PSP (I love my PSP :kisses PSP:). But I still dont think that the ball is in favor of Sony now. How can you swing the ball in favor of Sony when you announce Last Remnant, Kingdom hearts and Infinite Undiscovery timed exclusives for Xbox 360, Star Ocean 4 an exclusive to Xbox 360 and making Final Fantasy XIII a multi plat? Sony remains with only one Square Enix exclusive then, Final Fantasy XIII- Versus.

There is a day left and there must be a huge announcement in favor of Sony to really swing the ball. Something as big as announcement of Final Fantasy VII remake, though I doubt that will happen.

Anyways, I am waiting for tomorrow.......... 

South Park- Extremely offensive but funny nonetheless

Being offended is completely subjective, varying with everything involved. So something which is offensive for me, might not be for someone else. But in South park, they leave little possibility of not being offensive. It satirizes every sensitive topic. Be it homosexuality, religion, terrorism or racism. 

I have just started watching it, so as of now, I am not offended by anything. But considering the scope and number of episodes, it is highly possible that eventually, it will become offfensive to me.

But before becoming offensive, what it has already become is funny. The animation might seem strange and blocky and the low production values might turn off you for a while but hang in for a while and you will be drawn into the world of four foul-speaking kids. Somtimes the language is blatatntly and outrageously slapstick, by which I mean outrageous and slapstick both at the same time. S**t, f**k, a*s and any other imaginable word of this kind are common. I am not really sure if these are used as to be offensive, cute, strange or plain funny. But what I am sure of is that they do add a lot to charcters. They wont be what they are if they dont use these.

My favorite, so far, is Eric cartman. He is at odds with the group most of the times and also is the most cunning, selfish and fat. His voice is most funny (voiced by series co-creator Tery parker) and his way of tackling situations is no less.

Somehow, almost all other major characters are equally funny for me. Not only three remaigning main characters (Kyle, Stan and Kenny), but every other character. Be it Officer Barbarady, Chef or Mr.Harrison. But I hate Mayor McDaniels, cant stand her character. 

I have only started to watch it, so in no way I am in a position to write a review of it. But one thing that I can still recommend is that if you like to laugh and dont mind crude language, it wont disappoint.
