i dont believe this has been posted b4, if it has sorry: i got this from the digital bits

We've got some news that you South Park fans are going to find pretty disappointing. It seems that Warner's dumped all of the Trey Parker and Matt Stone audio commentaries off of the episodes on their South Park: The Complete First Season DVDs. But Comedy Central.com is offering all of the commentaries on a multi-disc CD set as a bonus if you buy the DVDs through their website. Sez Matt Stone of the commentary:

"Warner Brothers would not release it on the DVD without editing some of its content for "standards" issues. Trey and I simply love the sounds of our own voices to let this happen. We also believe in a little thing called the First Amendment. After you hear it you may wonder "What was the big deal about it anyway?" Good question. And one better directed at Warner Brothers than at a TV screen. So let them know what you think. Trey and I did. And enjoy our first ever sober audio commentary."

Note that you can also get the bonus commentary CDs by sending in your proof of purchase with a small shipping and handling fee to Comedy Central, and they'll mail you the CDs. You can visit Trey and Matt's South Park Studios for the address information soon. Thanks to Bits reader Randall G. for sending the link over.


so at least it looks like if we mail in a few things we get the cd in the mail after buying the DVDs!!

SOUTH PARK rocks big time. Wednesday nights are awesome just for that reason. Loved the movie too. It's in the Guiness book for most curses used in a film. The best thing about this series is that nobody is safe from being ripped. At least they call it like they see it.

This is interesting news. They must've been very off-color to warrant the removal of the commentaries, or Warner Bros. are run by monkeys (which explains the last Batman movie)

According to [Matt] Stone, problems arose when Warner asked them to remove comments that ripped on Warner titles, among them a rant on Contact, which includes [Trey] Parker's account of waiting through "all the suckiness and badness" for an alien-less ending.

Stone says they spent weeks trying to save the commentary because it was their first attempt on anything South Park-related. (After battling with Paramount while making the 1999 feature, they didn't record one for the DVD out of spite.)

The duo threw in the towel after hearing that a Warner lawyer had allegedly tried to get Jodie Foster's permission to leave in the lengthy Contact dis. "I just could not swallow tha fact that I"m gonna take out something because it might offend Jodie Foster," Stone says.

This box set has been out here in the UK for about a year now. In fact all the seasnons are out as box sets. I don't know the details but they aren't as good looking as this one.

Take a look at Amazon.co.uk if your interested.
