South Park iPhone App rejected by Apple
Just checked my Google alerts when I saw this little piece…
The creators of the hit Comedy Central series “South Park” have announced that Apple rejected their proposed iPhone application that would have allowed fans to watch episodes for free on their phones.
The application was announced last October and was submitted to Apple a couple of times for approval, according to Matt Stone and Trey Parker on their SouthParkStudios.com site. However, they reported, Apple rejected it as “potentially offensive.”
According to Parker and Stone, Apple told them the standards would evolve, citing that when iTunes first launched it didn’t sell any music with explicit lyrics.
Several bloggers speculated the move had less to do with content and more to do with profit, as uncensored “South Park” episodes are sold at the iTunes store for $1.99 each.

I love Apple, but I think it licks balls that the good people at South Park wanted to give us the gift of their dirty little show for free and Apple cockblocked the idea! I also love that they cited the “potentially offensive” nature of the show as the reason. Yes, because apparently you can’t buy anything offensive on iTunes, not “Freak-a-leek” or any of the other graphic songs out there. Oh wait, you totally CAN buy those things on iTunes… BUY being the operative word there. How lame! Give us free South Park or at least make a web browser that can play videos and handle flash so we can watch it off southparkstudios.com!
The Whitest Kids U’ Know come to Denver
I have been a fan of the Whitest Kids U’Know since back in the day when the series was on Fuse. Trashwire even featured a piece about the evolution of tv sketch comedy focusing on WKUK as well as other sketch shows like Human Giant and the short-lived Acceptable TV. Last Monday, I capped off an outrageously fun weekend by heading to the Oriental Theatre in Denver where all five members of the Whitest Kids U’Know were performing live…..

Attack of the Diablo Cody fans
I recently published a review of Diablo Cody’s new series, United States of Tara, on Trashwire. In the review, I talked about how I tried to get into the show, but found the teenage dialogue so annoying that I just couldn’t make it through a second episode.
As I was getting ready to go to bed last night, I saw that a few people had already responded and even had a couple messages in my inbox about the review.
Apparently Cody is a sacred cow in this crazy series of tubes that is the interweb because people were downright pissed that I’d described her writing as anything less than stellar. Continue reading
