South Park Wins Peabody Award

The Peabody Award winners have been announced by the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication, with Comedy Central’s irreverent South Park one of the winners, desribed in a release announcing the winners as a “notoriously rude, undeniably fearless lampoon of all that is self-important and hypocritical in American life, regardless of race, creed, color or celebrity status.”

Jon Stewart won a Peabody Award once for The Daily Show. We don’t hear about the Peabody Awards often, but they have got to be the only award organization out there that objectively judges shows based on their content, and not their political correctness.
