South Park's No. 1 Fan: Saddam Hussein?

South Park, Saddam, Satan Comedy Central

Before "gay fish" Kanye West, there was...Saddam Hussein?!

South Park masterminds Matt Stone and Trey Parker have revealed members of the U.S. military sent them a photograph autographed by the Iraqi dictator before he was executed in December 2006.

The South Park duo told Britain's Telegraph that members of the U.S. Army's 4th Infantry Division repeatedly screened the 1999 film South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut for Saddam while he was in custody.

Stone and Parker relished poking fun at the bellicose leader over the years. Their 'toon version of Hussein made his debut in an early episode "Terrance and Phillip in Not Without My Anus," when he mounted a failed invasion of Canada. In the big-screen South Park, he is the major villain, having a torrid affair with Satan and eventually impaled on a spike.

"We're very proud of our signed Saddam picture and what it means," Stone told the Telegraph. "I have it on pretty good information from the Marines on detail in Iraq that they showed Saddam the movie. Over and over again—which is a pretty funny thought.

"That's really adding insult to injury."
