i had thought about bringing up Zoolander in my earlier post, but decided against it 'cuz i couldn't think of anything to sayZoolander does better, probably gets an earlier sequal.
Probably a more successful career for the Dixie Chicks.

I also feel like some of the humor of the aughts, with its focus on irony and nonsense, came from a place of confusion and helplessness inspired by events. Same thing with the glut of political humor. Although we might see the That's My Bush movie ittl.
That's My Bush may get a movie but the show was going to end, simply because it was super expensive to produce, especially on Comedy Central's budget at the time.
You're probably aware that That's My Bush! was initially conceived of as Everybody Loves Al, under the assumption that Al Gore was going to win the White House in 2000
well remember, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.Vaugely pro-terrorist storylines (ala the Bajoran ones in ST: DS9) aren't taboo in popular entertainment.
most definitely. what i had generally meant earlier is that ambiguous Muslims/Middle Easterns would be the antagonists less than IOTL because it isn't seen as okay to demonize them like IOTLBut if people think that Vaugley Middle Eastern Terrorists would fade away completely from pop-entertainment, I simply have to echo what LtNOWIS said about True Lies. But they would just be one of many rouge agents running around.

That might not last long though. Like in OTL, you would probably see filmmakers avoiding Chinese villains once people start realizing China is a lucrative market for American films (see Red Dawn).Might see a rise of films with Asian themed enemies (ala Tomorrow Never Dies), though I doubt they'd ever dominate popculture.
I have no idea but The Daily Show, but I'm quite a student of South Park's evolution and I'd say the 9/11 ep was "ahead of it's time" as far as the show goes, with a lot of the satire remaining softer for a year or two afterwards, so I don't think we'd see much change during Seasons 5-7, besides obviously eliminating "Osama bin Laden Has Farty Pants" and "A Ladder to Heaven". It's later down the line that the butterflies become apparent, especially during Seasons 10 and 11, which built quite a few storylines on national security and Islam.I am curious if South Park or The Daily Show take the turns they do without 9/11. I expect Jon Stewart and Co. could pull it off but I'm not sure Parker and Stone rethink their program without 9/11
