The Mormons basically said, this show tries to entertain you for an evening, but Mormonism changes peoples’ lives for eternity.

Stone: That’s a very bighearted, perfect First Amendment-loving reaction. Prop. 8 aside, I wish more religions acted like the Mormon Church.

What is the most prescient episode in the 15-year history of “South Park”?

Stone: We did the Mel Gibson episode after “Passion of the Christ” came out, and there was that huge national debate on whether he was an anti-Semite. It wasn’t obvious.

You made him a kinky masochist, right?

Stone: Yeah, a torture-obsessed loon, but the anti-Semitism was inherent because Cartman liked him. Then, like, two years later he’s bitching at a cop in Malibu, calling him a Jew. We’re like, O.K., good, we were right about that one.

Do you owe anyone an apology for how you portrayed them?

Stone: I can tell you exactly who we were wrong about — Gary Condit. We did a Gary Condit joke where we just said: “You know you killed your intern. You know you’re guilty.” When someone is arrested for something or pointed at for doing something, our brains go guilty until proven innocent, you know?

Parker: And we were wrong about the Ramseys too — in the same episode. At least it wasn’t spread out.

I very rarely feel bad for anybody you portray on “South Park,” but I winced when I saw you give Sarah Jessica Parker an enormous nose and huge, crossed eyes.

Parker: My girlfriend’s the same way. She loves every show, but she’s like, “You guys were really mean to her.”

Stone: When we were doing the episode, all the women in the room were like, “That’s really mean.” But what’s so mean? She’s on the cover of Vogue with her wispy clothes and her made-up face, and you’re like, O.K., you put yourself out there as a sex symbol. . . . She bums me out. If I’m on the cover of Funny Animator, that kind of makes sense. But if I was on the cover of Men’s Health, it would be knives out on Matt Stone.

Her husband, Matthew Broderick, is pretty much the king of Broadway. Have you met him?

Parker: No. But I’m sure that if we had, he would have said, “You guys are so right.”
