'South Park' Wins Peabody Award


Jon Stewart hosted this year's Peabody Awards, so there was plenty of snark going on. They gave out some awards regarding the disaster that was Hurricane Katrina, so there was a seriousness about it. But, c'mon! South Park won an award. So you know there was some chuckles.

The biggest cheers went to Trey Parker and Matt Stone, co-creators of Comedy Central’s “South Park.” In introducing them, Stewart said he marveled at “at their ability to keep the show fresh and hilarious” after nearly 10 years on the air. The two, though, kept their remarks brief and irreverent, with Parker throwing a swear word into a joke about their “artistic responsibility” and Stone spending his time praising fellow honorees “Battlestar Galactica.”

Aw, in the immortal words of Cartman:

"I love you guys."
