This NYT profile of “South Park” by Virginia Heffernan includes absolutely no material that isn’t completely obvious to anyone who has watched the past season of the show, while at the same time completely ignoring the “South Park Republican” phenomenon. At least the reporter remembered to quote Andrew “Big Gay Al is not a leftist” Sullivan.
But the Times treatment does get one thing right- it establishes that the show had its best season in years, and may actually be better than ever. Really puts the lie to that whole “jump the shark” myth.
