“South Park”: Dead Celebrities
I laughed until I nearly choked last night as I watched the season premiere of “South Park” (clips of it have been removed online by Viacom). The episode was a salute (irreverent, of course: you don’t think this show is “Lassie,” do you?) to “celebrities that died over the summer.” Farrah and Jacko turned up, but so did Walter Cronkite. And Billy Mays’ spirit pitched a new product, “Shipoltaway,” which helped folks who’d eaten too much spicy fast-food remove stains from a certain item of clothing.
