South Park Sued for Copying YouTube Video
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Video
Many South Park fans remember the 2008 “Canada on Strike” episode, which celebrated/parodied some of the Internet’s biggest YouTube sensations. The “Chocolate Rain” guy, dramatic gopher and "Star Wars kid" were all portrayed in the episode … but none of them are the one who’s suing the show.
South Park, cable network Comedy Central and parent company Viacom are being collectively sued for copyright infringement of the YouTube hit “What What (in the Butt).” The video, which has scored over 33 million views, was re-made on Park, with Butters playing the role of YouTube singer Samwell. The video above shows a comparison of the two videos, highlighting the similarities.

South Park’s Mystery Deepens with Second Coon Episode
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Gossip, Video
Since the introduction of Mysterion to South Park in Season 13, the fan community has speculated on the “real” identity of the character.
Mysterion appeared in “The Coon,” a Dark Knight parody starring Eric Cartman as the superhero title character. Cartman’s dreams of glory were foiled when another superhero turned up suddenly ... with a cooler costume and a much more secret identity.
And the superhero’s haunting tagline, “Who is Mysterion?” has sparked debate among fans ever since. Wednesday night revealed the second chapter in the ongoing South Park superhero society (aptly named Coon and Friends) … yet, we still don’t have an answer to the burning question.

South Park Creators Apologize for Copying Original Content
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, News, Video
Although South Park's creators are known for producing controversial content, they don't usually say sorry for it.
Late last week, Trey Parker and Matt Stone apologized to the writers of a CollegeHumor.com video after they accidentally copied original content. Although the episode ("Insheeption") incorporated several lines from a clip called "Inception Characters Don't Understand Inception," Stone and Parker said they didn't know what they had done.
In an attempt to do an Inception-based episode, Matt and Trey tried to watch the movie for themselves -- unfortunately, they struck out finding a theater showing or a copy of the film. That is when they came across the College Humor clip (which can be seen after the jump).

South Park typically pulled no punches Wednesday night when mocking reality TV shows Jersey Shore and the Real Housewives of New Jersey. Now, some of the targets of the jokes have responded to seeing themselves immortalized in animation.
Former Housewives cast member Danielle Staub managed to take it all in stride. “I was pleasantly surprised it wasn’t just me being made fun of for a change,” she laughed. Staub said she was “honored to be mocked” by South Park, adding “Poor Snooki though! I got off easy compared to her!”

South Park Mocks Jersey Shore
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Gossip, Video
No one is safe when Trey Parker and Matt Stone are creating new episodes of South Park.
MTV’s Jersey Shore became the latest target of the series - but why stop there? The show also dissed Real Housewives and displayed a lot of ill humor by making an Al Qaeda connection.
But it was Snooki, the famously poofed reality star, who got the worst of it. Follow the jump to view the video that we’re pretty sure is going to send her right over the edge…

South Park to Target Jersey Shore
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Gossip
Finally.
South Park will make MTV’s Jersey Shore even more laughable on Wednesday night. That’s when the reality series will be spoofed on the animated series. The episode features “Jerseyites” who arrive in Colorado. Randy and Stan Marsh will defend the town against the onslaught.
The cast of Jersey Shore are looking forward to seeing themselves on Comedy Central. “I Always Wanted To Be On South Park !!!” Pauly D tweeted upon hearing the new. “SOUTH PARK GOES JERSEY SHORE! WEDNESDAY! Yes! Finally!!!!!” Snooki added moments later.
Let’s hope they’re still being good sports come Thursday morning.

Religious Activists Rally to Stop New Series…Before it Starts
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, Editorial, Gossip, Video
Comedy Central’s new animated series is still little more than a twinkle in the eye of the cable network. So far, there is no film on the series and nothing has officially started, but even so a religion-based coalition is doing absolutely everything in their power to put it to a stop. It’s sort of like trying to halt production on a car that’s still being debated on the drawing board.
The cable network made waves when it announced upcoming plans for an animated series starring Jesus Christ (son of God, water into wine, that one), but now the disturbance has turned into a typhoon of conservative proportions.
The presidents of the Media Research Center, Family Research Council, Catholic League and Television Council have helped to form the Coalition Against Religious Bigotry. Also in the fight: reps from the American Alliance of Jews and Christians and a talk radio host. Their first target: a tiny little animated comedy series which doesn’t even exist yet.
Anyone else get the feeling that maybe the Coalition Against Religious Bigotry has bigger fish to fry? (Pun intended).

The Simpsons Show Love for South Park
Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Animation, Comedy, Prime Time, Cable, FOX
If you caught the opening of The Simpsons on Sunday night, you saw the network show throw a little love toward their animated cable channel brethren - courtesy of Bart Simpson’s running opening gag.
On the ever-changing school chalkboard, Bart delivered a clear message to the South Park creators, who received death threats last week following a controversial episode of the series.
The message from The Simpsons? “South Park - We’d stand beside you if we weren’t so scared.” Classic.
