On April 27, 201, Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman, Kenny McCormick, and the rest of the South Park gang will return on our TV set as South Park premiere 15th Season. South Park is the longest-running animated TV series in Comedy Central. The concept of the series started way back in 1992 by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The series was one of the first Internet viral videos and in 1997 the show debut on TV.
Although it is an animated series, South Park is intended for mature audiences, the show has become famous for its crude language, surreal, satirical, and dark humor that lampoons a wide range of topics. One of the most controversial episode was the 200th and 201st episode which was aired in Season 14 where the show deliver a satirical depiction of the Islamic prophet, Muhammad. The website for the organization Revolution Muslim, a New York-based radical Muslim organization, posted an entry that included a warning to creators Parker and Stone that they risk violent retribution for their depictions of Muhammad. In response to the so-called Muslim threat the “Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!” was launched. It is as movement started on Facebook that encourages people to draw Muhammad on May 20, even the South Park biggest competition The Simpsons supported the movement.
On April 27, 2011 the South Park Season 15 Episode 1 will air on Comedy Central in their usual timeslot this fall. South Park did not release a title for this episode yet.
