So Apparently South Park is getting sued now for a parody they ran in an Episode of the "What What In the Butt" video everyone has seen on Youtube, wait you haven't? Okay fine. Loser.
So that is the original video, here is the parody that aired on South Park in 2008.
You be the judge, but according to Huffington Post, South Park, Viacom, and Comedy Central are being sued for copyright infringment by Brownmark Films.
Now look here "Brownmark Films." Are you really going to go after South Park? I mean, their legal team is probably one of the best and most in-practice law group ever. The only time they have really gotten fucked they showed Muhammed, a prophet of a major religion. So what makes you think this is going to come out a W? Look at the official statement by Comedy Central,
"Courts have consistently recognized that parody enjoys broad protections under the First Amendment and the Copyright Act. We believe 'South Park's' parody of the 'What What (In the Butt)' viral music video that appeared in the 2008 episode of 'South Park' entitled 'Canada on Strike,' is fully protected against any copyright infringement claims under the fair-use doctrine and the First Amendment and we plan to vigorously defend those rights." from Huffington Post
You know what that means in plain English? Fuck you guys we have the First Amendment. Welcome to the future of the world, anything you put on the internet can be made fun of, sorry dudes. Plus this episode is from 2008? What these "Brownmark" guys aren't up on their South Park? What douche bags. I hope South Park files a counter-suit and gives them something in the butt.
