Do you think that there is some message from Simpson's cartoons? Do they really reflect American life? And South Park standings on Canadians?

ABSOLUTELY

The "message", if anything, of the Simpsons is simply that American culture is quite odd and unintentionally humourous. It's just parody, mate.
South Park simply prides itself on being completely irreverant and goes out of its way to try to demonstrate how little regard and respect they have for ANYTHING. The mistake South Park supporters make is in buying into this nihilistic drivel that somehow this is admirable - it's not hard to insult and disrespect something that someone else holds dear...but that's not wit, or cleverness.
It's simply destructive and antisocial.
As such, it means absolutely nothing, finally, about Canadians or anything else it trys to poke at.

We get more of the truth from the Simpson's and South Park than from any politician, or religion. Trey Parker and Matt Stone have tremendous insight and are brutally honest while poking fun at our collective ignorance, and apathy. They tear into hypocrites, the greedy, and the institutions that seek to control us through fear, and or deception. I'd give them a freaking medal! BTW they have nothing at all going on with the Canadians.

I think the producers of the show are trying to tell us that there are more people out there just like the Simpsons then we'd like to admit. South Park does touch on some serious topics again, whether we'd like to admit it or not. Good question!!

Plenty of messages...they do give a distorted reflection of life for the purpose of making you laugh. If you are not finding them funny then you'll have to figure out why. Don't get it? Too obvious? Taking things too seriously?
Don't all Canadians have a split head?

Matt Groening has a very entertaining way of looking at the world.
South Park is different, it's educational. I have been to Canada, and just like Terrance & Philip those people love to fart, and they really do have heads like that, they come off when they talk excitedly, it's very strange!

The wise can get "messages" from cartoons
The dumb will go to philosophy lectures for entertainment

Um...no, both shows are based on stereotypes to enhance the humor.
