Mock the vote: Team America

Just a hunch here, but methinks Team America: World Police will reach more potential nonvoters and undecideds than either Fahrenheit 9/11 or Stolen Honor. The guys from South Park managed to make one funny marionette movie. In interviews promoting the movie, the guys have said that uninformed people shouldn't vote. But the movie's climactic speech/theory on life may make some viewers look at the election differently. Or perhaps they'll just look at marionettes differently. I'm still trying to figure out how the MPAA could have given the film a preliminary NC-17 rating if the male marionettes are not, shall we say, anatomically correct?
