On the last episode of South Park, we got the “startling” conclusion to the two-part Pandemic saga.  The South Park boys, plus Craig, were flown to the Andes to supposedly infiltrate the origin of the Peruvian flute bands that had plagued their cities.  Yet since the head of Homeland security was too busy being an alien, the pilots didn't know what to do next after they were dropped off.  Back in Colorado, everything was being ravaged by guinea pigs, guinea bats, guinea bears, etc.  In the end, it was Craig who turned out to save the day.

Tonight on South Park, the long-running Comedy Central animated series takes part in the election fever a day after the nationwide vote in an episode called “About Last Night…” in reference to yesterday's polls.

“While the country celebrates the outcome of the election, the new President-elect catches everyone off guard when he arrives at the White House prematurely,” according to Comedy Central.  “… and the citizens of South Park are partying in the streets.  From the Oval Office, the new Commander-In-Chief assembles his team and prepares for the job ahead.”

In the preview clip, the current president is interrupted with news that the president-elect has arrived at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue a day too early.  Now it's everyone's guess if it's going to be Democratic bet Barack Obama or GOP presidential candidate John McCain who will be coming in through that door and enter the picture.  Obviously, the show's creators couldn't have known the results of last night's national election when they made this episode, but this is still South Park, after all, so I'm betting that whoever walks through the door, it's going to have us in stitches.



As usual, this new episode of South Park airs tonight at 10pm on Comedy Central.
