Doesnt sound very interesting. Where is the societal issues that SP has been famous for mocking?
They said they plan on mocking atheists sometime. If this Warcraft subject is more interesting than an atheist issue, then wow...
Stay far far away. It's addictive as hell.
Never trust the plot outline of a South Park episode. Anyway WoW is a disgustingly popular game and probably deserves some mocking.
It's a societal issue, all right, you just may not be familiar with it.
"We were excited to hear that the creators of 'South Park' were interested in featuring World of Warcraft in the opening of their new season and we really enjoyed collaborating with them to make this happen," said Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment. "We're looking forward to sharing the experience with our employees and our players as well when the season debuts this week."
World of Warcraft is the world's most popular massively multiplayer online role-playing game, with millions of players worldwide. In World of Warcraft, players assume the roles of legendary heroes as they develop friendships, forge alliances and compete with enemies for power and glory. The game's upcoming expansion pack, World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade, is due out by the end of this year.

Hit the link and look at the picture of the boys from this episode (everybody has gotten Cartman sized and has zits). I think they'll be hitting on what happens when people game too much.
Well at least I have avoided WOW addiction. 3 years of dedication to EQ was enough for me!
Can't Wait!
Sounds like Professor Chaos is at it again.
It's entertainment, not social studies class, lighten up a little :~) and plus...some of the best episodes have rather innocuous subject titles.
They already mocked atheists in Red Hot Cath. Love... they had crap coming out of their mouths. :~)
WoW has become a societal issue...it isn't for those with addictive personalities, that's for sure. Some might say it might be healthier to take up drinking for a living because, at least then, you're out interacting with the world...
Some SP episodes are about nothing so much as kids being kids. Stupid, venal, funny as hell kids, but kids.
You must get out of the house too much if you don't know what WoW is.
It's more addictive than crack and has basically the same effect on people.
Here's the preview to tonight's episode, on YouTube
