No fan of South Park
Eva Longoria is furious with South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Apparently, she is a big fan of comedian Carlos Mencia and thinks that the portrayal of him, seen recently on the Fishticks episode, borders on racism. Eva believes that Carlos Mencia is one of the most talented comedians ever. She is rumored to be telling people that portraying Carlos Mencia as one of the characters on Carlito's Way is not only stupid; it's also racist.
South Park has a history of lampooning popular celebrities, political figures, and religious leaders. Nobody, even Oprah Winfrey or the Pope, is safe from South Park. I'm not even sure Eva Longoria watched the show. I think South Park was making fun of the fact that, as talented as Carlos Mencia is, he rips off a lot of jokes from other people. I don't think their portrayal of him had anything to do with race. What do you think?

I think Eva may soon find herself on South Park
I'm Spanish and did not find that episode racist at all, it was just plain hilarious. Eva Longoria needs to get over herself and if she thinks Carlos Mencia is talented then she definitely needs to be made fun of on South Park.
naahh, she's just being hypocrite. carlos mencia himself made a lot of racist joke. just google his name and a video of him making fun of other race would come up. if she enjoy watching him, she must enjoy one of his racist joke. but it sucks when the joke is on you right?
If you watch Carlos's set on "Comedy Central Presents", he makes a serious lecture that people shouldn't be so up tight and offended by jokes involving race. How about you listen to that set again Eva, and have some S.T.F.U juice.
Wow! If that episode was racist she would explode over JLo's TACO FLAVORED KEESES!!
I haven't seen the episode but I am Spanish and I do not think that portraying Carlos in a stereotypical way is "racist". That's y ppl like SOUTHPARK anyway, cause of its humor (that not all find funny...apparently)
It's amusing that Eva Longoria's grandmother doesn't approve of her husband's skin color. Apparently, her family members are racist against blacks and other minorities. Maybe she should be trying to educate her own family about being tolerant...
