This news comes to us courtesy of the official Comedy Central website for all things
South Park-related:
SouthParkStudios.com. There they cheerfully point us to
this interview with Matt Stone that was published today in the
New York Post, where the info about the upcoming DVD is revealed. Fans of Barbra Streisand should take an antacid before reading.
Stay tuned, and we'll be back as soon as possible with more info and cover art for
