Just found out some news regarding a possible new episode plot. Even if it's a joke, it's still pretty funny, so I'll post it here: From South Park Alliance: Tonight on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Matt Stone and Trey Parker discussed an episode idea. This could be for real or could be a joke.
The idea was basically that there is a vote for a school mascot, and the choices are a big douche and a terd sandwich. Stan decides that he doesn't want to vote for either, and people are angry because of this.
Along with the idea they also showed a "clip" which was actually about 4 words and a shot that looked like a storyboard image.

Originally posted by newhook_1: South Park was never about sutbility, but over exaggerating the current situation to the point where it becomes ultra stupid. By showing the paralells that this ridicules situation has with the real situation, it generally shows how stupid the real situation itslef actually is. Remember Red Hot Catholic Love? I'm going to stand alone on this, but I really hate when South Park touches upon the "current" controversy. The episodes are usually poorly written and painful to watch in repeat. My examples? "Child Abduction is Not Funny," nor "Quintuplets." Those kind of episodes did not age well at all. Personally, I think it's lazy writing to take the story of the day and write a show about it. It generally isn't that hard to insert the cast into the wacky situation of the news. Any hack comedian can do that. IMO, the best South Parks are the ones where they either come up with their own plotlines, or when they spoof current trends, like "Lil Crime Stoppers." Even for the latter, they tend to overdo it, making those types of episodes weak.

No we're not - Season 8 has only had 7 episodes air in America so far, the new upcoming U.S. episodes are the remainder of the current season. We're only half a season behind, and considering this season's only going to have 14 episodes, it won't be long before we've caught up with them.

Originally posted by canned eggs: Newhook, man, you forgot to mention the best part: the "America! Fuck yeah!" song. Here to save the motherfuckin' day yeah! America! Fuck yeah! So you can lick my butt and suck my balls yeah I finally saw Team America last night. Went to a midnight showing after work, so I was only one of 8 people in the theater and wasn't drowned out by laughter. My favorite parts: -The puking scene...I didn't know a puppet could puke so violently. -"If you fuck this up, I'm going to rip off your balls and shove them up your ass! That way when you take a shit, you'll be shitting all over your balls!" -The "Pearl Harbor Sucked" song...that was just comedic gold. -While basically disturbing, the puppet sex scene was strangely hilarious. -The part where it showed all the Film Actors Guild people on TV with "F.A.G." next to their name -When we first see Gary's terrorist costume...oh man, so great.

The whole story behind this is the fact that quite a few celebrities (namely P. Diddy) have recently been campaigning, telling people that it's incredibly important to vote. Matt & Trey went out publically saying that you should only vote if you truly know what the hell you're talking about, and this caused a little controversy... in fact, that was actually one of the main things Sean Penn was angry about in his letter. When you think about it, this is a perfect plot for a SP episode right now. Not only does it give Matt & Trey a chance to blast the election, sattirizing both the candidates and the pro-voting celebrities, but also to justify their point. Either way, it'll definately be a more in-depth election parody than the sub-plot of Trapper Keeper was, we'll just have to wait and see if it's funnier or not. By the way, I've got great news for Australians. Remember before when the Team America release date for here was early March 2005? Well, I saw a commercial for Team America during the season premiere of South Park on SBS, and it looks as if the release date has been pushed forward to December 2. Hurrah!

It was pretty good, but as DTBM said, the message about politics is something that everyone has said already. That's ok, because it's pretty much true, but it would have been nice if they added something new to it as they did in Team America. I'm pretty sure everyone knew that both candidantes usually suck in any election, and you vote for the lesser of two evils. As a vegeterin I absolutly hate PETA, because they give us all a bad name, and I thought it was awesome when they all died. *Edit* Also as a side note, I don't think this scene was in the episode. My theroy is that it was lame so Matt and Trey took it out and replaced it with Jimmy's "Wait 10 seconds" scene, or extended the Dr. Cornwallace scene. Did any one else expect Dr. Cornwallace to be Mr. Hanky's son Cornwallace?
