FROM NEXTMOVIE: Comedy Central's "South Park" returns for its 15th season this week ... with, naturally, an episode making fun of Asperger's Syndrome. (It's entitled "Ass Burgers.")
The show's cutout animation may be simple, but Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Kenny have become some of the most indelible characters in cartoon history.
So, naturally, we've always wondered how "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker would have applied their signature style to some of our favorite movie icons. Our old mate Old Red Jalopy was up to the task.
Welcome to Horror Bites, tasty little slivers of the week’s best horror news. Right now it’s a busy time for sequels in the horror universe. The announcement of 
The next season of "South Park" kicks off in April, a mere few weeks after another momentous development in the career of the crass cartoon series' creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. "The Book of Mormon," a musical that the duo developed alongside "Avenue Q" composer/lyicist Robert Lopez, will open at New York's Eugene O'Neill Theater in March. The story follows two modern-day Mormons in Africa, with scenes from the life of Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter Day Saints movement, peppered throughout.
For the past two Wednesday nights, "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone managed to tap back into the sort of controversy that originally put them in league with Hollywood's edgiest creatives. Episodes "200" and "201" received a lot of press for (not really) portraying Muhammad, the founder of Islam, as a character. This is something which has been a no-no since 2005, when a Dutch newspaper was censored for the same reason, inciting a maelstrom of commentary and criticism.
Based on the response, I'm guessing many of you saw 
Last night, "South Park" episode "201" -- literally the 201st episode of the series, following last week's appropriately titled cliffhanger "200" -- brought season 14 to a close. To celebrate the milestone, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone cooked up a very special two-part story. Instead of looking back with a retrospective clip show, the crass cultural commentators told an all-new tale incorporating many of the series' most popular themes and characters through the years.
Last night, "South Park" sent a message about Facebook: friends lists aren't status symbols. It was a typically zany treatment by creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, but the humor felt... off. In this time when fast-growing social network Twitter is frequently looked to as a source of news, Facebook is starting to feel outdated. Parker and Stone get ChatRoulette in there, the Farmville craze, a Jim Cramer/"Mad Money" reference, even a brief OLPC shout... but where was Twitter?
“Orphan.” Whether or not you plan on seeing this fright fest about a girl who terrorizes her newly adoptive parents, one thing is indisputable: that is one freaky lookin’ little girl. The dark, hooded eyes, the thick red ribbon bound across her neck, the do-you-feel-lucky-punk stare—this orphan named Esther is a shining example of the supreme creepitude that some pop culture children exude without saying a word.

'Family Guy' Vs. 'South Park': Which Anniversary Is More Offensive?
Posted 5/4/10 1:46 pm EST by Adam Rosenberg in Commentary
This past Sunday, "Family Guy" aired a 150th episode anniversary special (it was technically 150 in production order, not airing order, but who's counting?); it was an hour-long special which featured a standard-length episode followed by a series of musical clips, some never-before-used, from the series. I think both the "South Park" and "Family Guy" anniversary specials were thoroughly entertaining efforts, but I think there's an interesting contrast between the relatively innocuous content that was deemed unsuitable for broadcast on "South Park"'s basic cable network vs. the gross-out, past-the-borderline offensive humor on "Family Guy," a network series.
