SOUTH PARK Rides Again
Matt Stone and Trey Parker refuse to say what this Wednesday's premiere of South Park will skewer, so perhaps the best clues to what they'll be tackling can be found in this behind-the-scenes look at the show's production.
This pre-packaged newstory is an interesting look at both the strange political lines they delight in crossing and the challenges of producing cutting-edge comedy (Parker reveals his secret for handling late Tuesday nights: chugging Dayquil). It also showcases the South Park production offices, which are frickin' gorgeous.
As the show enters its eleventh year, Parker and Stone seem happy with the opportunity to ridicule every subject under the sun. And given how absurd the world continues to be, it seems unlikely they'll ever run out of material.
