Did you see this one? It's hard rhetorically to say you're victimized without seeing it. . . but hey.

Personally, I'd been wondering about this show specifically. I'm headed to NYC in a couple of weeks and was thinking about seeing a show. . . You can see this on standing room only for just a few bucks, so you don't have to pay $200.

I know one person who saw it and he recommended it highly.

I'm not afraid of my religion as the object of ridicule, but the scatalogical humor (Southpark style) does not appeal to me. So it's not likely I"ll go. Plus, I'd prefer to see a non-musical. We'll see.

I do, however, find it interesting that I see so many Mormons agonizing and hypothesizing about the effects of this musical. Maybe I should look at facebook a little less.

I don't find Southpark very funny in the first place. The feature movie I saw was lame.

I haven't seen anyone agonizing on FB, but my 14-16 yr old Sunday School class say they'd like to kick Matt Stone and Trey Parker in the head for all the grief their classmates give them about Mormonism.

I read this fairly positive review by Ken Jennings. http://articles.nydailynews.com/2011...ey-flower-girl
