If you blinked you probably missed the first clip of South Park’s epic teaser trailer. It’s no coincidence that George Zimmerman was the first image in a trailer devoted to “going there.” The easiest bet on the board is Matt Stone and Trey Parker commenting on the outcome of the Trayvon Martin trial. No one has been better at taking a tragedy and finding a way to cast a humorous, and often shocking, light on the people that unexpectedly come into the public spotlight. Although the shooting and subsequent trial took place long before season 17 started production, the topic is still relevant because of the latest Zimmerman allegations. Could be an ideal fit for the first episode if South Park really wants to return with a loud bang.

2. Miley Cyrus

The United States was on the verge of war with Syria, but the only thing that the public seemed interested in talking about was Miley Cyrus and her incendiary VMA’s performance. Scantily clad, tongue wagging and twerking up a storm, Miley created an uproar. Her turn from Disney princess to shock provocateur is perfect for Matt and Trey to pick apart. Expect a skewering similar to those given to Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. Who knows, it may even be time for another “harvest”.
