    Other than the Daily Show they’re the only reason that Comedy Central is even still a TV network. They seriously don’t have any pull in these deals? I call bullshit especially since Matt Stone hardly contributes to writing and mostly is the business-side guy.

    South Park creators, Parker and Stone, extended their contract with Comedy Central to allow for three more seasons, with episodes through 2011. Part of the agreement states that Comedy Central will financially back the official South Park site, SouthParkStudios.com. Along with the agreement, Parker and Stone joined an agreement that gives them equal partnership in their new digital venture.

    In 2008 they were able to leverage their deal with Comedy Central to get CC to fund southparkstudios.com to allow them to post them all online. You think they somehow lost that leverage? They still signed their names to these deals and you’re saying they had no choice?
