Life Lessons from Team America
Discover the profound life lessons learned from Team America.
In 2004, the creator’s of the animated “South Park” show Matt Stone and Trey Parker made audiences break out in laughter when they produced a satire film about an elite counter-terrorism team of marionettes that was tasked with saving the world from corrupt leader Kim Jong-il.In the laugh-out-loud comedy “Team America: World Police” With the help of a newly recruited Broadway actor, Gary Johnston, the team will travel the world attempting to stop terrorists from destroying many innocent countries with their WMDs.Although this film is fiction (believe it or not), it raises many solid points on how our world is run.Check out our whacky list of valuable lessons we learned from watching those life-like puppets on a string.

5. We shouldn’t always rely on computers
After Team America is temporary defeated, the world’s greatest computer “I.N.T.E.L.L.I.G.E.N.C.E.” had one job: decoding and analyzing what the terrorists were going to do next. It failed us when we needed it the most.[caption id="attachment_12788" align="aligncenter" width="891"]
