For years Southpark has been one of the most viewed and downloaded TV series on the internet. And none of it was filling the pockets of the show’s creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker. So alongside with the network which airs the episodes, Viacom, they have decided to offer them online. For free!
All episodes will be offered free of charge, but there will be ads during the episodes. The idea was raised last November, but has finally been executed.
The creative minds behind the show, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, have used the latest episode to express their feelings towards the latest operation. They also took the opportunity to ridicule the Writer’s strike of last year. Script writers are compared to Canadians who are going on strike, simply because they want more money. They suggest the money they receive could come from new internet revenues. Stan, Kyle, Cartman and Butters decide to create a viral video in hope of generating revenue, which can then be given to the Canadians.
