World of Warcraft

Video: South Park, World of Warcraft

This is one of my favorite South Park episodes of all time. I watched a mini-marathon last night, and can't believe how incredible this show is. The first three seasons of South Park were horrible and simply not funny, where Kenny dying was supposed to be funny. The writers were smart and began writing the shows to mock many of our current politicians (Hillary Clinton in a 24 parody), celebrities (Paris Hilton and Tom Cruise/scientology episodes) and current events (Terry Schiavo). I think that TV in the 80s will be remembered for Cheers/Cosby Show the 90s Friends/Seinfeld and the 00s as South Park/ The Sopranos (maybe not anymore after the finale).



Article: Jobs to Play Video Games

Incredible that there is a market for this... but these guys work full time, playing video games, specifically World of Warcraft, where they are then sold on a secondary market for real money. Granted the gamers themselves only make 30 cents an hour, but the person that packages these and sells the gold is a genius.

Touching song... gotta love it.
