South Park has set the internet abuzz with confusion regarding the show's possible cancellation. With Comedy Central gearing up for the show's 22nd season later this month, a new teaser has called upon the network to cancel the long-running animated series.
The 15-second teaser claims "America has reached a crossroads." In a sly reference to ABC's The Connors (the post-Rosanne era spin-off), the teaser asks, "What will we do next?" It's then capped off with the hashtag #CancelSouthPark.
Obviously, South Park is not being canceled. Despite the politically correct, hypersensitive climate that exists today, the show somehow seems to dodge the incessant calls for boycotts we see used so often by the offended. While I'm sure there are those who would love nothing more than to see South Park go off the air forever, it's not going to happen any time soon. The show, which has never shied away from controversy or prodding sensitive subjects, has already been renewed for a 23rd season. It will return for the debut of its 22nd season on September 26 on Comedy Central.
