Howl at the Too Obscene

How is Howl too obscene (see what I did there)? I swear, people can be incredibly hypocritical sometimes. It's ok to have South Park swearing and making fun of Jews, but this is considered too obscene? South Park had an episode where Cartman fed a boy his parent's as chili. Read that again. Here, I'll even type it out in case you didn't go back and read it. CARTMAN FED A BOY HIS PARENTS AS CHILI. Let that one sink in. Which one do you think is more obscene? South Park, or Howl? The way I see it, if we can have South Park on TV, whether Howl is considered more obscene or not, should not matter. The fact is more people watch TV nowdays than read books (especially poems and short stories). If we can say its acceptable for something that is as offensive and obscene as South Park on TV which is the most used media other than internet, than Allen Ginsberg's Howl should be fine. South Park had an episode where they grew a penis on a rat's back. One more time. SOUTH PARK GREW A PENIS ON A RAT'S BACK. AND. They showed it ON TV UNCENSORED. We can't show a real penis on TV, but South Park gets away with it because it is a cartoon. I find that we are incredibly hypocritical. I don't know if it's just Americans or humans in general, but it's true.
