The homeless population is on the rise in an all-new “South Park” entitled, “Night of the Living Homeless,” premiering on Wednesday, April 18 at 10:00 p.m. (ET/PT) on Comedy Central.

Increasing numbers of homeless are eating, sleeping and asking for change all over South Park. While the adults are working on creative solutions to care for the homeless, the boys are busy solving the problem once and for all

Discussion about the episode, here.

As usual, Viacom would like you to know that they will sent takedown notice for any South Park episode footage uploaded on YouTube. So please, for the sake of Viacom; do not go to sites like mrtwig.net where you can find torrent files for high quality AVI and RM South Park episodes. Comedy Central is owned by Viacom, and Viacom is suing YouTube nad essentially you. Once again, Viacom and Comedy Central do not condone downloading high Quality South Park episodes off the intraweb.

Did I say anything about not finding the torrent easily at mrtwig.net? I’m not sure if I mentioned mrtwig.net enough as the example of where not to go. Just because mrtwig.net has the link to the high quality AVI and RM torrents, doesn’t mean you have to disregard Viacom and Comedy Central wishes.

South Park Season 11 Episode 7 on iTunes Store – UNCENSORED (available on Saturday April 21th, 2007)

Meanwhile, South Park – The Complete Ninth Season DVD was released on March 06th, 2007. It includes the infamous “Trapped in A Closet” and the Emmy® Award-winning episode, “Best Friends Forever.”

South Park Studios is the official South Park site and that’s where all the new informations come from. There will be no spoilers discussed here until the episode airs.

Apple: 100 Million iPods Sold

Apple announces today that the 100 millionth iPod® has been sold.

The first iPod was introduced back in November 2001 with a $399 retail price. As a matter of fact I still have a working first generation iPod that I pre-ordered the day it was announced (what was I thinking?).

From Apple PR:

CUPERTINO, California—April 9, 2007—Apple® today announced that the 100 millionth iPod® has been sold, making the iPod the fastest selling music player in history. The first iPod was sold five and a half years ago, in November 2001, and since then Apple has introduced more than 10 new iPod models, including five generations of iPod, two generations of iPod mini, two generations of iPod nano and two generations of iPod shuffle. Along with iTunes® and the iTunes online music store, the iPod has transformed how tens of millions of music lovers acquire, manage and listen to their music.
