The tale of Scrootie Mcboogerballs.

Ok. So I have decided to write a post on every new South Park episode. The more I watch it, my passion just grows for it.

So, have you ever come across a book which is so revolting that you have felt like throwing up (metaphorically or literally) and yet read it fully and enjoyed it? Alternatively have you ever read a banned book and thought , why in the name of Lord was this banned? If either of the answer is yes, then you need to watch the latest episode of southpark - The tale of scrootie Mcboogerballs. Yeah, funny name. Thats what the kids come up with for a most vulgar novel - and instead of getting banned, it gets to be one of the best sellers! Unfortunately the kids cant take credit for it because they have already framed the vulgarity on Butters, before the book becomes a hit. The prime reason why the kids come up with a vulgar book is because they are disappointed by reading a banned book which has no vulgarity in it. They feel cheated by their school and decide to get back at everyone by writing a book so vulgar that readers vomit their guts while reading it.

It seems that many times a book takes on a meaning of its own. It is the reader's interpretation rather than the author's that is important in making a book a hit or a failure. And when the collective interpretation of readers converge, it reflects the mentality of that culture and generation. In that sense, books are nothing but monsters unleashed on us by well meaning authors. Once published, they no longer remain under the control of the author. Why books, this applies equally well to all art forms which are under public scrutiny.
