I find the timing curious that Rolling Stone magazine has this feature article on South Park, and Youtube just recently pulled most of their original South Park content.

The eleventh season started this week. That explains both.

That is likely unrelated - Viacom who owns Comedy Central is in an ongoing war with Google.

>>Google was slammed today by a demand from Viacom to remove over 100,000 MTV, Daily Show, SouthPark BET and other copyrighted materials. This comes after months of failed negotiations between the two companies to find a way for Google to compensate Viacom for this content. According to Viacom, he clips in question have been viewed over 1 billion times.<<

Timing had nothing to do with it VIACOM told Youtube to remove ALL VIACOM content off its web site (South Park, Nickalodian Cartoons, old reruns) or they would sue Youtube and charge them $150,000 per video of any their copywritten product being broadcast! Not just South Park but for ANY episode from ANY series they owned. Thats why they are gone. NBC/Universal is also starting to threatening to do the same thing.
