It seems as though the always crass, clever and comedic South Park has never been better as creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone lead Stan, Kyle, Kenny and Cartman to tonight’s 200th show. From the episode “Medicinal Fried Chicken” two weeks ago (the town’s KFC is replaced by a medical marijuana dispensary leading to Stan’s dad giving himself testicular cancer and Cartman to a Scarface-like fried chicken habit) to last week’s episode “You Have 0 Friends” (Stan gets sucked into the Tron-centric world of Facebook, literally), the timely and scathing satire of South Park has far surpassed the likes of other adult oriented animated shows like Family Guy (random acts of unsophisticated comedy) and my beloved The Simpsons (sometimes solid but best days are behind them).

Tonight the gang get their just due as every celebrity the show has ever (hilariously) offended, from Tom Cruise to Kanye West to Mickey Mouse, exact their revenge on the town of South Park. Wednesday, April 14th at 10pm on Comedy Central.

Another new mesmerizing music video from my N.A.S.A. homeboys (Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon) as they unleash the Kool Keith/Tom Waits collabo “Spacious Thoughts” from their debut banger, The Spirit of Apollo. One of many original art-meets-animation music videos spawned from the N.A.S.A. project, “Spacious Thoughts” is directed, designed and animated by Fluorescent Hill and once again guided by the steady hands of creative director Syd Garon and producer by Susan Applegate.

“A Volta” is the latest music video collaboration from N.A.S.A. spacemen Squeak E. Clean and DJ Zegon and features the amazing artwork of The Date Farmers brought to life by the ultra talented directing team known simply as Logan. Having already given us several breakthrough videos to go along with their breakthrough album The Spirit of Apollo, the NAStronauts now bring together the musical stylings of Sizzla, Amanda Blank, and Love Foxxx of CSS in this their most obscenly violent and graphic video “chock full of evil bosses, sadistic henchmen, vigilantes, important briefcases, ghetto birds and piles of cash”.

Read more about the “8-bit narco nightmare” in BoingBoing.net’s interview with Logan’s Alexei Tylevich. And be sure to check out Logan’s mockumentary “making of” with The Date Farmers’ characters calling the shots:
