South Park is a comedy animated series created by Matt
Stone and Trey Parker. Distributed by Warner Bros. Television
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. New episodes in the show's ninth
season began airing March 9, 2005. Recent seasons have
aired in two parts; for example, half of the episodes
from the eighth season were put on hiatus for Team America:
World Police, another Stone and Parker production. The
show is noted for its characteristically blunt handling
of current events while they are still current.
