"This could mean the end of the world! ... of Warcraft."

[mikailborg]

A couple weeks ago, South Park did an episode about "World of Warcraft". I don't keep up with South Park, myself - in fact, this was the first episode I ever watched - but I'll admit there was some funny stuff in it. They got the game references almost completely right. (If you'd like to see it, and haven't, it's all over the web, with the apparent approval of the show's creators. There is one rather unnecessary scatological joke, unfortunately.)

Machinima.com has an article about the episode, where the show creators discuss working wth Blizzard. Among other trivia, the episode was apparently filmed in the Burning Crusade alpha-test server.

Edit: And since I'm discussing the intersection of South Park and geekdom, here's a parody snippet that we children of the 80's will find familiar...

Heh, children of the early 80's perhaps. I had to struggle to place that, because it was pretty much out of syndication by the time I started remembering TV in 85 or 86.

Guess it depends where in country you live too... I was watching TV around the same time and I watched Buck Rogers all the time. But, when your young even a year or two makes a difference I guess.
