For 14 years, South Park has taken the news and given it a unique and timely twist with a no-holds-barred candor that often leaves viewers in stitches. Tonight’s Season 15 premiere – which took on the issue of Apple’s secret tracking of iPhone and iPad users and added a disgustingly sinister twist courtesy of Steve Jobs – continued that tradition in truly stellar form. Here’s our handy little highlight reel. More »
South Park’s 15th season is kicking off this Wednesday with an introduction of Apple’s lastest revolutionary new product: The HUMANCENTiPad. Yup. It’s exactly what it sounds like. The Human Centipede, which was disturbingly gross, combined with the iPad, which hasn’t been gross until now. More »
Every time I forget about South Park, they go and do something to remind me just how funny they still are. This time, it’s skewering Inception. More »
The beating of a 12-year-old redheaded boy this past Friday is linked to two of the favourite punching bags of those unwilling to directly blame the dickface kids responsible: Facebook and South Park. More »

The South Park guys clearly get it. They’ve already put every episode ever online for free. Now they’ve come up with a snazzy South Park iPhone app Xeni at BoingBoing got the first look at. While it doesn’t look like it’ll stream or download full episodes (yet), it’ll grab clips, snag wallpapers, drop news and do other wackiness, like assign Butters’ face as your awkward roommate’s picture. Overall, it looks pretty slick and Xeni says it “functioned beautifully,” but what’d make it truly killer is being able to stream full episodes.
I love when life imitates art. A few weeks after a South Park episode where indignant Canadians go on strike and are rewarded with Bennigan’s coupons, indignant Canadian iPod owners go to court and win roughly the equivalent of a meal at Bennigan’s: $44. Why? Because the 1G, 2G and 3G iPods that were supposed to have battery life of up to 8 hours instead delivered a paltry 3 hours, according to two separate rulings in Canadian court. Still up for settlement: the lawsuit by the Canadian gentleman who discovered that his 8GB nano only has 7.45GB of storage. He wants $220, but he’ll take $92. [InformationWeek]

What does such an internet-connected society do when faced with such a technological dilemma? Face the giant Linksys router that controls all traffic in the country. And do This (see the video.) Something we’re sure you’re all familiar with. But seriously guys, did you see the ghost? It ran through here! [South Park]
