South Park and Philosophy: Bigger, Longer, and More Penetrating is a non-fiction book analyzing the philosophy and popular culture effects of South Park, published by Open Court. The book is edited by Richard Hanley. In an interview about the book, Richard Hanley explained why he chose the topic of South Park for philosophical analysis: "South Park is like the Simpsons, but with a lot less restrictions, and almost every episode pushes the envelope." In addition to editing the work, Hanley also wrote fourteen out of the twenty-two essays in the book. The title is an allusion to the film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut. Both titles are also double entendres that can also refer to a penis. Source: Wikipedia (en)
