ATLANTA -- Comedy Central's "South Park" won its first Peabody Award on Wednesday, winning praise from judges as TV's boldest, most politically incorrect satirical series.

"South Park" was praised as a show that "pushes all the buttons, turns up the heat and shatters every taboo," Peabody Awards Director Horace Newcomb said. "Through that process of offending it reminds us of the need for being tolerant."

I think I read somewhere they did receives some threats. Nothing as serious as the Danish Cartoonists, but something to make them think twice.

I have heard that the creator Mitch Hurwitz has no interest in continuing AD as a tv show, but maybe doing a movie. If that's all I can get I will take it.

They cartooned Mohammed years ago in the "Super Best Friends" episode and no one complained.

How do you stop a 100 foot tall Abraham Lincoln statue that going on a destructive rampage? With a 100 foot tall statue of John Wilkes Booth!

Yikes!
