built 221 days ago
Trey Parker and Matt Stone are at it again. Seven years after their subversive cartoon South Park debuted on Comedy Central, they're still causing trouble, pissing people off and making the news for it. This weekend, Paramount Pictures releases their latest project, Team America: World Police, a big budget action adventure movie about a group that fights terrorists all over the globe. It was done completely with puppets.

Born in Conifer, Colorado, Trey Parker began playing piano at the age of twelve. He majored in music and Japanese at the University of Colorado in Boulder, but after meeting Matt Stone, with whom he would go on to create the award-winning animated series South Park, he got sidetracked. The two skipped classes in order to produce comedic shorts.

Over the next year, Parker & Stone made Orgazmo, a low-budget live-action comedy about a Mormon porn star, and meanwhile, The Spirit of Christmas quickly became an underground hit in Hollywood. Steven Spielberg, George Clooney, and Tom Cruise had copies, and when they started mentioning it in their cocktail conversations, it added to Parker & Stone's growing buzz. The Spirit of Christmas ... won an award from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. As an official show biz "flavor of the month", Parker & Stone took myriad meetings and heard and made many proposals, before Comedy Central gave South Park a green light. With Graden aboard as executive producer, the show premiered on 13 August 1997. Vulgar, subversive, and inappropriate for children, it was an immediate hit.
