I agree completely, both Christian and secular music and art has schlock.
I think the point South Park was trying to make (I happened across the
last 10 minutes while channel surfing) is that a lot of Christians will
not only tolerate, but actually support, schlock just because it says
"Jesus." It's the same attitude as "the guitar player up front during
worship this morning stank, but because he was 'playing for the Lord' it's
okay."
In the secular music world, if something is bad, word gets around, and
sales drop (in general). In the Christian world, it tends to be accepted.
Read CCM magazine some time. If one of the CD reviewers has the guts to
actually criticize a new release, they are immediately villified in the
letters to the editor = "How dare you criticize a brother or sister!
They're doing the Lord's work and deserve our support! You might hurt
their feelings!"
Remember, this is the industry that has the term "JPM" - Jesus Per Minute
- as a way of rating the "Christian-ness" of a recording.
