Americans have come to grips with its South Park-esque entertainment legacy for over a decade now. David Foster Wallace was one of the first critics of trashy popculture:
"Postmodern irony and cynicism’s become an end in itself, a measure of hip sophistication and literary savvy. Few artists dare to try to talk about ways of working toward redeeming what’s wrong"

Maybe it changed over the years, but the South Park I remember always went out of its way to explicitly call out the bad behavior earlier in the episode and provide a moral. It was usually pretty easy to segregate those that actually watched it from those that didn't and have some vision of what it was informed by others views instead of their own, as this fact was generally left out.
