Fifteen seasons! That's incredible, that a cartoon that started out as bits of paper arranged into vaguely human-shaped forms has lasted this long. One has to credit the show's ability to make timely pop-culture references (thanks to a short episode turnaround time) and its willingness to target sacred cows. So what facet of pop culture will Trey and Matt be tackling in their first episode of the season, I wonder? Apparently, South Park is all abuzz over the newest Apple product -- the "HumancentiPad"! ... Huh. Cough.
So they've mashed up one of the most talked-about products of the year with one of the most talked-about films of last year, to create a highly disgusting and sexualized parody product? It's certainly not groundbreaking, but neither is it particularly clever. Hopefully, Cartman's iPad-craving storyline takes us beyond the disturbing visual of Kyle being the middle in a three-person digestive system and into some sort of commentary on our over-reliance on gadgets, or possibly our rapidly dwindling national fondness for torture porn. Fingers crossed.
South Park airs tonight at 10/9C on Comedy Central, opposite new episodes of Happy Endings, Justified, Top Chef Masters, The Real World, Tori and Dean and House of Payne. And it's followed by a new Workaholics!
