South Park misses deadline.

I have never been a huge fan of South Park. I find some of their stuff funny. I think they are masters at pushing the satire envelope. There movie was simply amazing. However, I've never made South Park regular viewing. I had no idea the time table that they put themselves under.

17 Seasons in, South Park Misses Its First Deadline

6 days to write and complete an animated show seems ridiculously insane. They may be the masters of potty humor and tend to take that satire envelope and just throw it right in the fire now and then. But it's damn impressive to have such a short turn around.

Also, knowing the marketing savvy of these guys, I wouldn't put it out of bounds to think this might have been calculated. How big will the ratings be next week?

And for fun. Blame Canada at the Academy Awards.
