Outrageous satirical comedy from the creators of 'South Park', with
puppets. In the 'War on Terror' Team America is the United States'
first line of defence, an elite unit of counter-terrorist
operatives whose adventures take them all over the world -
frequently destroying most of it as they go. When the team learn
that evil Korean dictator Kim Jong-Il is planning to destroy the
world, they recruit a Broadway star to go undercover in his
hideout. On the way, the team manage to wipe out lots of
real-estate as well as take on bleeding-heart, liberal Hollywood
celebrities like Sean Penn and film-maker Michael Moore.
This unique and timely collection examines childhood and the child
character throughout Stephen King's works, from his early novels
and short stories, through film adaptations, to his most recent
publications. King's use of child characters within the framework
of horror (or of horrific childhood) raises questions about adult
expectations of children, childhood, the American family, child
agency, and the nature of fear and terror for (or by) children. The
ways in which King presents, complicates, challenges, or terrorizes
children and notions of childhood provide a unique lens through
which to examine American culture, including both adult and social
anxieties about children and childhood across the decades of King's
works.
