Virtually no subject has been taboo for Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of “South Park”. The long running Comedy Central series will begin its 14th season on March 17 by poking fun at Tiger Woods.
Woods of course has been at the center of controversy since a November 25 automobile accident mushroomed into a full fledged scandal, revealing the troubled golfer’s sordid affairs with at least 11 women, two of which are porn stars.
The cartoon will feature Woods recent public apology with Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman in attendance.
“It’s such an important issue in America right now – the sex addiction outbreak,” said Stone. “We’re all really concerned about him and hope he gets better.”
In fact, there’s so much material available to use that Stone said South Park could spend an entire season focusing on Woods.
“There’s a delicacy in talking about (Woods) that we don’t have to worry about,” Stone said.
He wouldn’t give many details about the episode, in part because he and Parker were still writing it. Stone said he was fascinated and disgusted by Woods’ public apology, so it’s likely that will be worked in.
Since the Peabody Award-winning show’s first episode in 1997, Parker and Stone haven’t worried about lines between good taste and bad if they can get a laugh. They mocked the Church of Scientology to the point of annoying Tom Cruise.
“South Park” will air its 200th episode next month.
