Secrets of 'South Park'
ABC News ^ | September 22, 2006 | Jake Tapper and Dan Morris

Posted on 09/22/2006 10:33:17 PM PDT by EveningStar

Comedy Central's vulgar, profane, hilarious animated hit "South Park" begins its 10th season on Oct. 4 in an uncertain place.

In the past year, the show and its creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, won their first Emmy and were also honored with a Peabody for best electronic media. But the year was also fraught with moments of censorship that caused the show's creators to wonder if the world had changed so much in the last 10 years that "South Park" could really no longer thrive...

With the world as their muse, they'd be hard pressed to find anything not funny write about...what I wouldn't give to sit down and have a few beers with those two and just watch their minds work.

THAT is one of their greatest shows ever, IMHO. Whenever I'm feeling real down, I just have Butters in my head telling me how wonderful life really is.

"What, praytell, is Wahhabism?"

The brand of islam that is supported by our friends the Saudis and the brand of islam taught in the Saudi-funded schools in the US.

"We don't wish Tom Cruise any ill will," Parker says. "He's just kind of a freak, you know? He's like Michael Jackson."

I've been hoping for a Hugo Chavez and Ahmannutjob episode. They have to do it.
Chavez calls Bush "the devil", and Saddam escapes and starts wooing him. Meanwhile no one wants to go near Ahmanijad because of.....errrrr...."hygiene issues".

"What, praytell, is Wahhabism?"

The inability to ignore that piece of green sushi on your plate, to the point that you eat it first, by itself. :)

(I've done it, damnit)

From the article:

So who did they vote for? John Kerry or George W. Bush?



Parker says anyone interested can look at their show that ran just before the 2004 election called "Douche and Turd." In it the South Park Elementary School students are forced to choose between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich as a new school mascot. The character Stan protests, saying he doesn't find either option attractive, and is decried by the school, his parents and P. Diddy for not voting.



"When people ask how did you vote, it's like: 'Watch that episode. You'll know exactly who we voted for,'" Parker says.



I can't recall which was voted in at the boys' school, but I think I know who the giant douche was supposed to be depicting.

Wasabism is a group of people who like their tongues burned off with Japanese mustard.
