It has been reported on southparkstudios.com that the first episode of the tenth season, which premiers on wednesday at 10, will be about World of Warcraft. "The boys dedicate their lives to defeating a mad gamer and saving the World of Warcraft." As a person who is currently wasting their life away on WoW, i'm very excited about this... Parker and Stone always seem to take every topic and hit it spot on. I can't wait to see me and everyone I play with mocked for 22mins straight.![]()

"5 Reasons We Still Love South Park"
by Danny Spiegel of TV Guide (Oct. 2-8, 2006)
1. No taboos. While it may have all started with talking poo, it has gone on to tackle the touchiest subjects, from stem-cell research ["Kenny Dies"] to the Terri Schiavo case ["Best Friends Forever"] to Scientology ["Trapped in the Closet"]. "We never sit down and go, 'Who can we take on this week?'" Parker says. "Our job is to say, 'Here's this thing. What do you think about that?'"
2. The animation rocks. Still reveling in its brilliant crudeness, the show's visual signature is unique in this Pixar-ish world. (And seriously, check out the depth of the backgrounds now as opposed to, say, Season 1.)
3. It reminds us how some kids really are. Let's face it, there's more than one "Cartman" out there. "Kids are so selfish," says Stone. "Part of being a kid is just being a big jerk."
4. They keep it current. It takes nine months for most animated shows to be produced, but South Park is done in six days thanks to a cohesive, veteran staff and a cutting-edge computer process. Their "Passion of the Christ" parody ["The Passion of the Jew"] aired only a month after the film was released.
5. It's still the same two guys putting it together. Parker and Stone have been there from Day 1 and their enthusiasm remains undiminished. "After 10 years," says Stone, "you look back and grudgingly go, 'Aw, OK, I'm kind of proud of that.' We've actually been through quite a bit. So... cool."
