Is there a Line South Park Won't Cross?

We are all familiar with those colorful little scamps from South Park; well in honor of the 11th season creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have crossed the line once again. The debut airing on Comedy Central will deliver the "N" word, not once, but instead a total of forty times. If there was ever an example of being over the top, this is clearly it.

In an episode several years ago, Parker and Stone pushed the limits using the word SH*t well over forty times. Today’s animated programs have gone well beyond their predecessors. I can't ever recall Homer Simpson hurling out the "N" word or even "Sh*t" for that matter. Where are we going as a culture? I am scared, but entertained.
