While South Park has offended a lot of viewers over the years, only one of the show’s early episodes can boast that the outing managed to annoy a country’s actual, real-life government. South Park season 27’s delays might annoy some longtime fans, but this is hardly the first time that the long-running satirical cartoon has earned the ire of viewers. South Park has been met with controversy since the show began life as a viral e-card that depicted Jesus Christ and Santa Claus doing a bloody battle over who was the guardian of the Christmas spirit.
