What keeps fans returning to South Park is the seemingly bottomless well of shock humor the show’s creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, come up with each year. South Park will begin its 11th season on Comedy Central March 7th, and as always, loyalists will tune in to see if the four crudely-drawn kids from Colorado can top themselves yet again.

The show, Comedy Central’s highest rated, will feature seven new episodes. Early rumors say the latest targets will include Fox Television’s “24” and Hilary Clinton.

There’s also a twist to look forward to this season: uncensored downloads of new episodes on iTunes. Fans will find the show available for download the Tuesday after an episode’s first airing, beginning on March 13.

Comedy Central is owned by Comedy Partners, a division of Viacom.
