Respect Their Authoritay! South Park Reupped—but for How Long?
South Park fans, rejoice!
Show masterminds Trey Parker and Matt Stone have signed a new deal with Comedy Central that will see the Peabody Award-winning 'toon sticking around for at least three more seasons, taking it into its 20th season and making it the longest-running animated series on basic cable.
So will Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny and the rest of the gang finally graduate from fourth grade?
UPDATE!
Did Scientology Go Gunning for South Park Guys?
Trey Parker and Matt Stone probably could have guessed the Church of Scientology couldn't take a joke.
According to an alleged internal church document leaked to the Internet, the leaders of L. Ron Hubbard's religion ordered a private investigation to dig up dirt on the South Park Emmy winners in retaliation for mocking the church's beliefs in the infamous 2005 episode "Trapped in the Closet."
Here's the story.
Schwarzenegger Scandal Gets South Park Skewering: That Was Fast
You don't need to be a time-traveling cyborg to make a quick killing in the comedy world.
In the latest South Park, Arnold Schwarzenegger's love child scandal becomes the talk of the lunchroom, even if Butters doesn't really get that the Terminator isn't real and that Arnold's love child isn't planning to time travel to battle Skeletor.
As far as we know, anyway.
Of course, this show's scorn even scorches Maria Shriver a bit (um, hasn't she had a bad enough week, guys?), but thankfully Cartman comes in talking about penis size and the show moves on from there.
No Harry Potter or Spider-Man, but God Bless Those Mormons! Five Things to Know About the Tonys
Ah, the Tony nominations. The time of year when everyone west of the Hudson offers a collective shoulder shrug (come on, you can admit it), while back in New York, the lights of Broadway start to shine a little brighter.
But what do you really know about the Tony Awards, currently in its 65th year? Well, for starters, we're guessing you were not aware that the event's full name is actually the American Theatre Wing's Antoinette Perry "Tony" Awards. Or that this year's event is shaping up to be a veritable Hollywood on the Hudson.
The glitz! The glamour! The controversy! The snubs! Break out the pancake makeup and get in here, because these are the five things you need to know about this year's Tonys...
UPDATE!
"What, What" Bites South Park in the Butt
South Park just got kicked in the you-know-what-what.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the show's brain trust, are on the receiving end of a lawsuit for allegedly ripping off the viral video hit "What, What (In My Butt)" in a 2008 episode.
Say, what?
South Park's Cure for Bieber Fever: Kill Justin
Oh my god! They killed Kenny Justin Bieber!
Never ones to pull their punches (especially when it comes to celebrities), in last night's episode of South Park—the final installment of a four-parter—Cartman as "The Coon" took on his "most challenging and most evil opponent."
Hint: it wasn't Whole Foods.
Inception Deception? South Park Guys Apologize for Stealing Lines From Web Spoof
It seems like cartoon honchos Matt Stone & Trey Parker slipped on a banana peel in their rush to make a South Park video spoof of Inception. According to reports, their video titled Insheeption "accidentally" lifted lines from a live-action parody video on CollegeHumor.com.
How does that happen, exactly?
South Park Flips the Tables on Jersey's Housewives and Shore...and al-Qaida
This video clip contains adult language. It's just a Jersey thing.
What do you do when the state of New Jersey starts infiltrating not just your cable lineup but every aspect of your day-to-day life, as well?
If you live in South Park, you call on al-Qaida.
Yup, that's what Stan's dad decided had to be done once the Jersey border started creeping further and further west, all the way to Denver, N.J., bringing with it face-shaving housewives who think everyone else is the crazy bitch, and a wild, margarita-guzzling animal called a Snooki.
South Park Prepares for Jersey Shore Invasion
Blame New Jersey.
It's true: South Park is facing a greater threat than Canada! The Garden State—aka home to a certain MTV phenomenon—is rapidly seizing control over the nation, and if the citizens of our favorite fictional town don't do something fast, Colorado could very well become West Jersey. But is it too late?
South Park Terrorizer Busted on Terrorism Charges
UPDATE Oct. 20, 2010: Chesser pleaded guilty to supporting a terrorist group and to two counts of communicating threats and soliciting crimes of violence.
________
Guess he didn't respect their authoritah!
A man behind the veiled threats against South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone over their depiction of the prophet Muhammad in a two-part cliffhanger last April has been arrested on unrelated terror charges.
Zachary Chesser, 20, was taken into custody Wednesday and charged with giving material support to the Somali-based terrorist group al-Shabab by attempting to travel to the African country and become a foreign fighter.
Kinda like when Cartman convinced the boys to go to Somalia to be pirates, no?
