Satirical art about government issues has been around for years from from early centuries to the present, but the masters of satire in my opinion are Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the creators of the cartoon "South Park".  These lads attack and slag everyone and everything, from issues like abortion, legalising weed and homelessness to just attacking random people like Barbara Streisand, Britney Spears, Jesus, Buddah, Mel Gibson, the long list goes on.  They incorporate complete and utter absurdity while mocking various people and topics, one of which is Barbara Streisand as a killer robot destroying the town or comparing homelessness with zombie films by making homeless people look and act like zombies spreading the disease of homelessness.  Every episode is made a week before its released.  As a result, it becomes completely and utterly ridiculous and crazy, which is why its so popular.

The main storyline is made up of 4 boys, Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick (Kenny seems to die in nearly every episode) who go on bizarre adventures around their home town, South Park in Colorado.
