Contrasting companies



I have chosen to compare the TV shows Futurama and Southpark, though they are both cartoons, they both appeal to different audiences, and give off different opinions by people.
Futurama is for all audiences, it could be compared to the simpsons, as they are created by the same man, they are funny in quick whitted family oriented sort of way, based on the stupidity of one of the main characters, and all the stupid things he does.
Southpark would appeal to more teenage veiwers, as the humour is still very whitty, but alot more offensive, containing racial slurs, swearing, strong sexual references, drugs, and mocking celebrities. Therefore alot of people would either find it as untasteful viewing, or be offended.
Personally I am more of a Southpark fan than futurama, I think southpark has alot of good ideas, and is fresh, it relates to what is the latest trend out there at the moment, like guitar hero, facebook, xbox 360's, pokemon etc. Unlike futurama which is set in the year 3000, considering what they could do with that factor, it gets boring and stale to me.
