Tonight is South Park’s 200th episode and what better way to celebrate the milestone than to have a class action suit filed against them from all the celebrities they have mocked throughout the 199 previous episodes. Tiger Woods, Britney Spears, Kanye West, Mel Gibson, Oprah Winfrey and Barbra Streisand are all back to get their revenge. Hopefully they won’t kill Kenny. So tune in to Comedy Central at 10p tonight to find out who will this fight…South Park or the celebrities?
Saddam Hussein has been forced to watch South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut, according to the film’s co-creator Matt Stone.The former Iraqi leader is portrayed in the movie as a homosexual who is in a relationship with the devil, and Stone claims the prisoner is being forced to watch it "repeatedly" as he is held by US Marines.The South Park movie was banned on release in Iraq seven years ago.Stone reveals: "I have it on pretty good information from the Marines on detail in Iraq that they showed him the movie. That’s really adding insult to injury. I bet that made him really happy."
Comedy Central, which leaped into its archives and reaired a South Park episode lampooning Tom Cruise when the episode was nominated for an Emmy, announced over the weekend that it will rerun an episode that was aimed at Mel Gibson on Wednesday night. The episode, which aired in 2004, is called "The Passion of the Jew," a take-off on Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ and at one point implies that Gibson is an anti-Semite. Meanwhile, TV Guide is reporting that Icon Productions, Mel Gibson’s production company, is planning to battle ABC if it refuses to proceed with a planned miniseries that deals in part with the Holocaust — or if it engages another production company to take on the project.
