Chef's Back, Even If Hayes Isn't 'South Park' premiere trumpets character's return March 20 2006 LOS ANGELES -- "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone may yet have the final word on Isaac Hayes' departure from the show. The series, which has been the focus of much media speculation in the past week over Hayes leaving and Comedy Central's pulling of a Scientology-mocking episode, begins its 10th season Wednesday night with an episode called "The Return of Chef!" -- while making no mention of Hayes. In the episode, Chef makes a "triumphant homecoming" to South Park (even prior to...

The attorney for South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone issued this official statement to us via e-mail late yesterday addressing the Scientology-clowning, Tom-Cruise-baiting "Trapped in the Closet" episode that Comedy Central quietly disappeared on Wednesday night, reportedly because of threats Cruise made to parent company Viacom. And yes, it's really from their lawyer:...

The animated television series South Park has got grosser over the years - but its creators are getting away with it. Hardly anyone raised an eyebrow five years ago when the show depicted the Islamic prophet Mohammed, co-creator Trey Parker told Time magazine. "We created a brand for ourselves, so that now people can't get mad at what we do, because then they're just making fun of themselves," said Parker, 36, as the show heads into its 10th season. The first season was much tamer than shows of late, said co-creator Matt Stone, 34. "None of the shows we've done...

Remember push polls? Emerging just before elections, they pretend to desire the opinions of voters. Then, to those foolish enough to remain on the telephone, they proceed to shove political propaganda right down unsuspecting throats. In a variation, Al Franken has introduced the art of "push interviews", where in theory he's there to be asked questions. Pity the reporter, though, who believes it's anything other than Al's latest manipulation: an overbearing effort to persuade the other party his very line of inquiry is wrong. If Franken had his facts straight, that would one thing.....................snip...........................

South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone avoided poking fun at Scientology for years because they didn't want to upset show regular Isaac Hayes.

Is Cartman a crook? Peter and Bobby Farrelly, the gross-out gurus behind Dumb and Dumber and There's Something About Mary are accusing South Park masterminds Trey Parker and Matt Stone of ripping off a movie idea.

In their insightful and offbeat Freakonomics Steven Levitt and Stephen Dubner tell the remarkable story of Stetson Kennedy’s important role in preventing a substantial national revival of the Ku Klux Klan following World War II. Kennedy first infiltrated the Klan on his own and learned its secret structure, terminology, and passwords and then, in a stroke of genius, provided these to . . . The Adventures of Superman radio show. The script writers made great sport of the Klan’s goofy terminology (“Exalted Cyclopses,” “Kleagles,” “Klaverns,” etc.) as Superman battled against them. Very soon all over the country children were playing...

The recent South Park TV episode in which South Park educates the global community through humor on the dangers of the destructive, mind control cult Scientology has done a great service to societies and families everywhere their show airs around the world.

"South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have signed a three-year production deal with Paramount Pictures, which released their most recent film, the 2004 puppet comedy "Team America: World Police." The acerbic pair, best known for mocking pop culture icons, will need extra large business cards because they named their new banner Trunity, a Mediar company, a division of True Mediar, a Unity Corpbopoly.

South Park is my absolute FAVORITE TV show. I always look forward to flipping on the tube at 9:30 PM with a glass of rum in hand to watch that show. Even if it is a re-run I still love watching South Park. Therefore it was with great anticipation that I watched this season's NEW episode last night. If you missed it, you missed a gem. It was a satire on media misinformation about Hurricane Katrina along with panic over Global Warming. What happened was that Cartman and Stan accidentally caused the collapse of a dam that flooded Beaverton...

'Team America' unsettles Team Kim in Pyongyang Special to World Tribune.comEAST-ASIA-INTEL.COMWednesday, February 9, 2005 The caricature of North Korea's "Dear Leader", Kim Jong-Il, in the film, "Team America: World Police," is striking a discordant note among North Korean officials, and probably their supreme leader himself, despite his well-known love for private viewings of foreign movies. North Korean leader Kim Jung Il in Paramount's "Team America: World Police - 2004." Word from Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is that the North Korean embassy there is asking the government to ban the film, the creation of Trey Parker and Matt...

Facts to consider: The two have been seen at the Stoned Family Reunion held each year in Ithaca, New York. The content of their films and their production styles bear a striking similarity to one another. They both go to the same dentist. Both boys drive Peugeots. They both have a penchant for French wines and imported German Bratwurst. Oliver enjoys criticizing anything of real value. Matt enjoys criticizing anything. Both collect Jane Goodall documentaries. Both collect the musical works of Judy Garland and Cher. The list of their mutual likes and dislikes goes on and on, but these should...

Just wanted to add my .02 about this movie. It was one of the funniest movies that I have ever seen. Kim Jong Il was priceless, especially when he became mad. The songs were great. One song had lyrics like "America, f*@* yeah!" I simply cannot say anything taht will do this movie jsutice. I will have to see it again. The message was great, as these guys can deliver a great message. Be prepared for swearing, but not as bad as South Park, The movie.

FREEPER REVIEW OF TEAM AMERICA: WORLD POLICE OK, first I'm a hugh series fan of Trey Parker/Matt Stone fan. Parker is hands down one of the best saterical comedy writers alive today. However this is not South Park... and is DEFINATELY not for kids. The plot surrounds around an actor named Gary Johnston (Parker) who is recruited off of Broadway after starring in 'LEASE', singing the hit song "Everybody Has AID's" to join TEAM AMERICA by its leader Spotswood to use his increible acting ability to infiltrate Arab terrorist's WMD program and stop it. The World Police are a...

Matt Stone and Trey Parker have made their share of enemies, thanks to several seasons of "South Park." So it comes as no surprise that they're not too worried about their current feud with Sean Penn. The actor/activist recently wrote them a nasty letter after they made comments that seemed to downplay the importance of voting. Could it also be that Penn — a staunch opponent to the war in Iraq who's traveled to the Middle East to see situation firsthand — is upset with the way he's portrayed in the duo's new puppet action film, "Team America: World Police"?...
