South Park to torment Tiger
2010-03-13
Golf clubs in hands or not, the children of South Park are ready to take on Tiger Woods.

Creators of the Comedy Central cartoon have long since proven that no subject is sacred to them. So for the opening of its 14th season on Wednesday, the troubled golfer encounters Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman in their animated Colorado town.

"It's such an important issue in America right now -- the sex addiction outbreak," Matt Stone, who makes the series with partner Trey Parker, said. "We're all really concerned about him and hope he gets better."

Sex addiction, the intersection of powerful men and willing women, late-night phone calls to the police and bad public relations gave them so much fodder they could have made an entire Tiger-centric season, Stone said.

Since the Peabody Award-winning show's first episode in 1997, Parker and Stone haven't worried about lines between good taste and bad if they can get a laugh.

"There's a delicacy in talking about (Woods) that we don't have to worry about," Stone said.

He wouldn't give many details about the episode, in part because he and Parker were still writing it. Stone said he was fascinated and disgusted by Woods' public apology, so it's likely that will be worked in.

'South Park' is airing its 200th episode next month. "We can't even believe we're still here doing this," he said.

#2  South Park at its best, can't be topped. 'Whale Whores' this season was awesome, looking at reality television.
BTW, all the episodes are available for free streaming, and they're only 20 minutes long. Just google 'south park studios.'
