This is some of the best news of the day, and not just because I love South Park and World of Warcraft.
In the creative arts group of the 59th annual Primetime Emmy Awards from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, South Park’s beloved “Make Love, Not Warcraft” episode won in the Animated Program (for Programming Less Than One Hour) category. This episode of Comedy Central’s animated series originally aired on October 4, 2006. The South Park creators collaborated with Blizzard Entertainment to craft machinima scenes using shots of in-game footage. “We were excited to hear that the creators of South Park were interested in featuring World of Warcraft in the opening of their new season, and we really enjoyed collaborating with them to make this happen,” said Mike Morhaime, president and cofounder of Blizzard Entertainment.
Yay! Congrats to Matt and Trey and everyone else involved. You create one of the funniest and intelligent cartoons around. Keep it coming!

But it does. Maybe because I was one of the few people who occasionally stood up for the girl. At the very least I was fairly neutral about her.
But now? Now I can’t stand her her. This is enough to tip me over the edge. Because I hate Family Guy. With a passion. I think Cartman from South Park (which is a quality animated series, people, and I am not joking when I say that) really sums it up for me.
“Don’t you ever, EVER compare me to Family Guy, you hear me Kyle? Compare me to Family Guy again and so help me, I will kill you where you stand! Do you have any idea what it’s like? Everywhere I go: “Hey Cartman you must like Family Guy, right?”, “Hey, your sense of humor reminds me of Family Guy, Cartman!” I am nothing like Family Guy! When I make jokes they are inherent to a story! Deep situational and emotional jokes based on what is relevant and has a point, not just one random interchangeable joke after another!”
