LAist wasn't quite sure what to make of Trey Parker, Matt Stone and their patriotic puppets when we first got wind of Team America: World Police earlier this year, but after catching an early screening last night at the Paramount lot, we may just have to take one for the team. In addition to the language, violent situations, and insensitive commentary most will expect from the creators of "South Park", Team America: World Police......
