'South Park' creators owe success to late planning
Indo-Asian News Service

London, July 19 (IANS) Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of the "South Park" cartoon show, say that they owe the success of their controversial series to last-minute
planning.

According to contactmusic.com, they believe that their ideas would have not been allowed if TV lawyers had time to think about their controversial storylines. The two have
managed to upset religious groups, celebrities and family groups. Their episodes featured Jesus, Saddam Hussein and Tom Cruise.

They were surprised when their TV network Comedy Central allowed their controversial Scientology episode, which poked at Cruise's sexuality, to be shown.

Stone says: "We kind of avoided doing the episode for a long time because of Scientology's reputation for taking you to court. And when we ran the idea past the lawyers, they said, 'That's cool.'"

Parker adds: "Since we do a show basically the week of, it was really the Wednesday before that show aired that we said, 'Let's do a Scientology show.' The lawyers didn't have time to start talking."
