Today is a Holiday*

Why, you may ask?

Because today SEASON 10 OF SOUTH PARK COMES TO DVD*
*This post was supposed to be published a few days ago, but I tried to write my own episode descriptions and it sucked. So it came out on tuesday, and despite the next paragraph, I did NOT buy it because I maxed out my credit card. Soon, my precious, soon

I don't have enough money to buy that, or any cds to feed my growing interest in psy-trance and goa-trance music. But is that gonna stop me from buying both? PROBABLY NOT

Season 10 was what many people considered to be a pivotal season for South Park. After season 9, which gave us classics like "Ginger Kids" "Free Wilzyx" "Die, Hippie, Die" "Trapped in the Closet" and the Emmy award winning "Best Friends Forever", Trey and Matt knew they really had to step it up. They succeeded in creating what would come to be known as possibly the most outrageous, inappropriate and fucking hilarious season yet. In addition, season 10 brought us new advances in animation and satire that had never been seen before. A quick analysis of episodes follows, courtesy of south park studios dot com
