South Park Spoofs Election Chaos
In less time that it has taken to recount the votes, South Park has put together an episode parodying the chaos that erupted in Florida last week over the presidential election.
The Nov. 15 episode focuses on an election for kindergarten class president that is too close to call, so a recount begins to determine the winner. "When you put this same situation in with kindergarteners, everyone's actions make a lot more sense," co-creator Matt Stone told the New York Post.
With the help of 70 animators, computer engineers and actors, the show was expected to be completed early Wednesday morning. The show airs Wednesday nights at 10 p.m. ET and repeats Thursday at 12:30 a.m. ET and Saturday at 10 p.m. ET.
This is not the first time Stone and co-creator Trey Parker have assembled a show so quickly. In April, the South Park team rushed together an episode in the wake of the Eli�n Gonz�lez raid.
