Can't blame Canada for this

The American Film Institute has one glaring omission from its 25 best musicals: "South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut."

Seriously.

I'm not lobbying to put it atop the list, but couldn't we bump ultra-trendy "Moulin Rouge!" (#25) or the dopey "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers" (#21)? I truly believe SP:BL&U is a wonderful example of satire. And the songs are enjoyable if not downright clever; even the Academy agrees with me, nominating "Blame Canada" for best song.

And if you don't see the humor in mirroring "Oklahoma!" in the song "Uncle Fucka," well, how bad do you suck?
