Satan bunks with Saddam.

At The Hot Blog, David Poland has somehow gotten ahold of an obscenely funny memo from “South Park”‘s Matt Stone, sent to the MPAA Ratings Board during negotiations over the rating for 1999’s “South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut.” (WARNING: Explicit language — as if you couldn’t have anticipated that.) Stone even misspells “Sadaam.” Ah, those were such innocent times. It ends with one of the great kiss-offs in Hollywood studio correspondence history: “P.S. This is my favorite memo ever.” One of mine, too.
