South Park

South Park is a comedy animated series created by Matt Stone and Trey Parker. Distributed by and airing on Comedy Central since 1997, it follows the surreal adventures of four young boys who live in the small town of South Park, Colorado. South Park satirizes many aspects of American culture and current events, and challenges deepset convictions and taboos, usually using parody and black humor.

The show is noted for its characteristically blunt handling of current events while they are still current. For example, an episode involving the repatriation of Romanian quintuplets aired during the Eli?n Gonz?lez issue, and depicted Janet Reno, then U.S. Attorney General, as a murderous Easter Bunny. An episode that aired after the September 11, 2001 attacks had the boys stow away on a military transport to Afghanistan, where they encounter Osama bin Laden. More recently, the episode "Best Friends Forever" satirized both the Sony PSP and the Terri Schiavo case. In this episode, the town is at odds over the removal of a feeding tube from Kenny McCormick. The episode was recorded one week after the PSP was released and, coincidentally, was originally aired the night of March 30, less than twelve hours before Schiavo died. South Park won its first Emmy Award for that episode.
