Not sure if serious.
A) That will never happen. Of course,one day it will be cancelled because no tv show goes on forever, but for everyone ever to forget about it? No.
B) It is crude, but at the same time it is satire and often - well at least in the beginning - was very good at targeting social issues that people tended to treat as a while elephant or perhaps too seriously. Read 'A Modest Proposal' by Jonathan Swift for more information on what satire is.
C) Everyone is affected differently by the media. I have watched South Park on several occasions, but there have been no detrimental effects on my character or soul - I am not a person who is affected by what I watch or read that easily. Your mom may believe that people are affected like that when they watch it... but that doesn't mean that she's right or that it's true.
D) I wouldn't pray for that even if it did so because I believe that even things like South Park provide insight into a society and culture. We know barely anything about other times and periods in history because people covered them up or destroyed the bits they didn't like, and we are the poorer for it. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it didn't happen. Trying to hide it or pretending it didn't happen means that there's a lie about the people and culture of the time that's being perpetuated.
In all honesty, this sounds more like you hoping that they cancel and forget about it simply because you haven't been allowed to watch it, and that's a tad childish and insecure for you. You probably wouldn't gain anything by watching it, but so what if you haven't?
