South Park: All Episodes, Onlineby Joe Katzman at March 28, 2008 3:33 AM
The creators of hit comedy show South Park have made every episode available online - for free, with ad support, as a joint venture with Comedy Central. These episodes were already wildly popular online as shared clips; all this does it ensure that the creators pick up revenue from the naturally viral nature of their show. That's is how we managed to show Marc "Armed Liberal" Danziger the immortal episode featuring the Hippiedigger for Thanksgiving, after all. I certainly give thanks for South Park's brilliant social satire. Along the way, they've made it impossible for me to watch The Omen movies without laughing, and even changed my political views on at least one issue. As a fan of the movie Heavy Metal, I'd also be totally remiss if I didn't recommend yesterday's parody/homage to you. South Park Digital Studios features all episodes and archives, including 3,000 embeddable video clips, and games. Due to continuing contractual obligations, however, all new episodes will be available online for 7 days after they premiere on Comedy Central. Then they disappear for 3 weeks or so, before returning permanently to the site 30 days after they air. Come on down to South Park and meet some friends of mine.... All rights reserved.
