1993’s Demolition Man is a ridiculous movie. There are poop-swabbing seashells, dystopian Taco Bells and a nude Sylvester Stallone dummy that later became the creepiest Planet Hollywood decoration of all-time. Seriously, who put this on the ceiling of a family restaurant and thought that it wouldn’t emotionally scar children?

Then there’s the cast. Instead of a more seasoned actor, the producers hired comedian Denis Leary to play Edgar Friendly, the leader of a guerrilla army of resistance fighters, which, I guess makes sense, considering that his rebels are opposed to the politically correct fascists who won’t let him have any fun. 

Trey Parker and Matt Stone have finally splurged on the purchasable honor of a gilded sidewalk square on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Maybe they’ll also join the Film Actors Guild while they’re at it.

Now, the natural reaction of a South Park fan who wisely pays little attention to the many ego-inflating honors and ceremonies that the entertainment industry’s A-and-B-listers award themselves on an annual basis will have to the recent news that the show’s creators are just now getting their names carved in gold on Hollywood Boulevard will be something along the lines of, “Wait, why the hell didn’t Trey Parker and Matt Stone already have a star on the Walk of Fame? What was Hollywood waiting for?”
