CableTica Asks MTV To Explaining
Airing Of South Park episode
Costa Rican government officials
didn't think South Park
one bit funny. Now, Cable Tica
has decided to send a letter to
MTV to ask for an explanation.
The local cable operator, with
is part of Teletica, is incensed
about MTV's airing of the South
Park episode where the
characters, while in Costa Rica,
declared Costa Rica, among other
things, that it smells..."like
ass":
The main characters, a group of
children, are on a trip to San
San José, aboard a bus from
which a teacher shows them the
city.
The woman explains that Costa
Rica is a third world country,
as the children observe through
the windows prostitutes,
shantytowns and trash, and they
complain of the smell "of ass"
that they detect in an
unidentified government
building.
When the episode first aired
last month, Costa Rica's Tourism
Minister, Carlos Benavides, put
it like this:
"We should look at it as the
trash that it is. It's a program
of that nature on a network
designed for people with a lowly
upbringing and bad customs.
