Is South Park so offensive that this park should change their name?

south park is a offensive show and i could see why the park would want it's name to be changed. i do not blame them

I personally don't watch this show because I have seen previews for it and it is inapporpiate for my 2 yr. old and I have heard a few things from friends as well,as for the park I think I would do the same I like the new name Greenwood, its good.

that actually is kind of dumb, we have a south park area where we live and everytime I drive by the sign to get to that place I laugh a little, I think it is cool to have a great and successful show be named from the town that maybe inspired it.

I think that it is such a waste of time to do that. Just because South Park the television show is offensive in its language doesn't mean that the park is offensive. It is like saying that you wanted to change your name because you knew someone that had the same name and they were offensive and rude. But, you wanted to drop everything that you were working on or need to do just because you need to change your name! That is just silly, huh? But, Greenwood Park is a great name. I use to like near a Greenwood Park, Greenwood Middle School, and Elementary. And, a Greenwood Park sundivision where we lived!! Haha. LOL :DD

Very... odd... For a town to switch it's name just because the show south park has the same name But really, i think that it was a good idea because if they hadn't done so there reputation would have gone down the drain because people would be like, isn't that that crazy place in that TV show. On the other hand they are taking this too seriously i mean it's just a show and alot of... offensive stuff goes ont here. But that doesn't mean anything goes wrong at the real place...

I am not familar with the park but I do know that people's preceptions of places are influenced by TV shows quite frequently.

i dont know, i think it is offensive in some ways, but its just an adult comedy show. nothing in it should be taken to heart. its all in good fun, and i actually enjoy watching it! i think its kinda ridiculous that the town is changing its name. i mean, if the show is that offensive then every "eric cartman" in the world should change his name too.

if they are changing their name i think they are taking things way too seriously, what next will springfield change its name? hahaha where do we stop. I once heard that the city of Manchester in England was seriously thinking about changing its name to person chester as not to offend anyone, i just think it is all getting out of hand

uhmm for me its a bit funny.. i love south park even lots of people are going against it. south park may have a bad attitude but in the end you can still see that they do teach you some lesson in a more clear and realistic manner. i think they are free to change the name of the park since its a public place. if that will make them feel better and think that i can bring a difference.

I think the people in that city are just overreating. The show is just simply awesome. Why would they want a park named after a funny show?

I really like South Park, and I would get a kick out of having a park in my town by the same name. But the thing is, South Park the show is a town, and South Park, Ohio is pretty much just a park. I mean, it's a good idea to have a name change if the park doesn't want to be associated with the show, but I don't think it was necessary.

I love Southpark , it has to be one of my favourite shows, but there's hardly any group that hasn't been mocked by them at some point, so I totally understand that there are some people that would hate to be associated with the show.

I think their stretching things a bit. Not like they've got statues of the characters about or anything.

I think this has got to be the dumbest thing I've heard all day. Anyone who watches "South Park" knows that it is in Colorado, so there should be no confusion about it being a park in Ohio....But i guess the park district really beleives that people are just that stupid.

"South Park" is not offensive to me, what is offensive to me is people who have zero sense of humor and people who do not spend time with their children educating them on what life is all about. What is offensive to me is stupidity and people who use religion and God as an excuse to get through life.

Honestly, I think that is such a waste of time and funding to do such a thing. They are wasting time addressing this when other things with more meaning could be discussed. Then they are wasting funds because not only are their salaries funded by the taxed and brough back to wasting time, but now the signs will have to be changed and maps will be outdated. Then there are websites that could be directing someone to a South Park that does not exsist. I live in a town that has South Parks. There is a South Park Business Center, South Park Vet, South Park Self Storage, South Park Housing Community, and many other South Parks. I don't see anyone here getting upset. It is just a name. And just because one does not like the name of a show, does not make another place named the same bad.

That is just silly. Did they ever think it might help them get people to come there? Yes the show can bring up contriversial stuff sometimes. I even think they go to far sometimes. It's just a show though.

How funny. Obviously they feel that people are so thick they cannot differentiate between a park with trees and gardens to an adult cartoon show. I suppose I get their point. I may be thinking as I walk through this park that I might bump into Cartman or Mr Hankey. Although where I live I meet Mr Hankey everywhere in all the parks!! Is this being done so people don't loose touch with what is reality and what isn't. I have heard it all now. Theres a street in the UK called Mandela Road. Does this mean I will meet Mr Mandela if I walk down it? Sometimes I wonder who we need protecting from.

Yeh this is silly. Its not like people will actually thihk of this certain park as they do of South Park. Its a funny show and it would attract a few tourists, so what? I dont think they shouldve changed it. this is an extreme and is insulting.

Well, the show South Park was made for inbred morons who can get a cheap laugh out of someone else being made fun of :P. So yes I would find it offensive. The name of the show, not the park. Heh.
