South Park to mock Tiger's press conference in season opener

Mar 15, 2010, 8:00 PM EDT

South Park breaks out Season No. 14 on Wednesday … South Park is 14 years old? Wait, what? Hard to believe, but yeah. And that’s good news for all of us, because the Comedy Central show lasted to see the Tiger Woods saga in all its glory. Co-creator Matt Stone, discussing the season premiere with the Huffington Post, said that not only was a Tiger-themed episode a no-brainer, but he had enough material to do “an entire Tiger-centric season.”
That would have been sweet.

“It’s such an important issue in America right now – the sex addiction outbreak,” Matt Stone, who makes the series with partner Trey Parker, said on Friday. “We’re all really concerned about him and hope he gets better.”

Sex addiction, the intersection of powerful men and willing women, late-night phone calls to the police and bad public relations gave them so much fodder they could have made an entire Tiger-centric season, Stone said.

“There’s a delicacy in talking about (Woods) that we don’t have to worry about,” Stone said.

He wouldn’t give many details about the episode, in part because he and Parker were still writing it on Friday. Stone said he was fascinated and disgusted by Woods’ public apology, so it’s likely that will be worked in.

Obviously since that interview appeared in the Huffington Post last week, Tiger’s press conference made the cut.
