Gournelos ably mobilizes South Park's challenge to traditional broadcasting and marketing strategies, to mount a convincing and insightful case about oppositional culture in the contemporary era. His Taoist model of allusive, responsive and disruptive processes reveals South Park and similar texts as models which both critique a range of political discourses and the contradictory media practices which mount them. Gournelos' scholarship is comprehensive, offering an engaging and persuasive account of post 9/11 ideological flux and moral ambiguity
