Yelp is suing South Park for $10 million.

I don't think that Yelp could have snapped up the bait any harder than they did.

_San Francisco, CA — Today Yelp Inc. filed a $10 million dollar lawsuit against the creators of South Park and Comedy Central. In the lawsuit, Yelp is seeking damages caused by the latest episode of South Park which lampooned the customer review and local business rating website.

Paul Horner, who is a spokesman for Yelp, spoke with NBC News about details of the lawsuit.

“Our company, along with its millions of users, take Yelp very seriously. The South Park episode was in extremely bad taste and not funny whatsoever. To say our critics are out there trying to get free food and using racist slurs on little Mexican children is beyond ridiculous. To compare the users of Yelp to terrorists is not only cruel, but the definition of libel and slander. I believe any reasonable court in America will agree with the lawsuit and rule in our favor.”

Matt Stone and Trey Parker, creators of the popular animated series, were quick to issue a statement of their own.

“We’ve taken a hard look at the information presented to us, and after reviewing it, we have given Yelp and their lawsuit only one star. Their lawyers delivered us legal documents in a very unprofessional manner; not bothering to smile or even a quick handshake. The writing on the envelope was barely legible and in two different colors. It is our personal opinion that Yelp could do a much better job by not suing us for ten million dollars.”_

If you haven't seen the latest episode, it's pretty freaking awesome.

Love that show.

Thanks for that

That episode of South Park was great. Seems pretty classless that yelp is so butt-hurt over it.

In this day and age being spoofed by SP should be a badge of honour (like having a song covered by Weird Al), not something to file frivolous lawsuit over…

That was a brilliant response to it too…

It's a gag article. Yelp isn't suing. Although the reference to Fappy the Dolphin is a nice touch

I'm going to go hang my head in shame now. Totally took the bait myself.

New South Park is killing it

i dunno, do want his number so you can call him and ask?

I've seen the South Park movie and maybe 10 minutes of 2 different episodes. I find it devoid of humour. However, I like jokes ! I enjoy laughing. I must be missing out on something or just don't have a sense of humour.

What episode would you suggest for a person like me (and idiot like me) that might do what the movie could not and make me smile or laugh.

Don't get me wrong, I get that South Park does some pretty edgy stuff (who knew tom cruise was gay or that Kanye west was a fish stick?) … I just doesn't do it in a way that tickles my fancy.

The upside is , if I end up liking it, I've got a shit tonne of TV to watch.

southpark gets a whole foods in season 19.. so I recommend that season
18 is pretty damn good too
if you can watch that and not laugh then you should watch bojack horseman cause its the best show ever.
