Rest In Peace, Isaac Hayes

BuzzSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 11:33:42 -0700

It was a pretty depressing weekend in the world of entertainment as we lost first Bernie Mac and then Isaac Hayes. Hayes passed away on Sunday in Memphis, Tennessee at the age of 65.

Many people know Hayes as the deep-voiced singer who brought the theme song to Shaft into the world. In 1972, he won the Oscar for that song, becoming the first African-American to win an Oscar in a non-acting category. Hayes went on to pick up three Grammy awards and was inducted into the Rock 'n' Roll Hall of Fame in 2002.

For people of a younger generation, however, Hayes will be remembered as the voice of Chef on South Park. To enjoy a video set to Chef's "Chocolate Salty Balls" in Hayes's honor, just read more.

Warning: The video includes some content that is NSFW, but it is also hilarious.

Watch Almost Every Episode of South Park Free, Right Now

BuzzSugar — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 14:31:17 -0700

If you like free stuff, and you like South Park, you will like this: South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are now streaming nearly every episode of the series online, plus clips and behind-the-scenes information. In a press release, Parker and Stone gave a typically flippant reason for the launch: "We got really sick of having to download our own show illegally all the time so we gave ourselves a legal alternative."

The site currently has 168 of the 169 episodes of South Park available. (I'm not sure which one's missing.) Because of various contract issues, new episodes will appear on the site right after they air and be available for seven days before being temporarily taken down; after 30 days, they'll be added back to the site for good. The episodes can't be embedded on other sites, but they can be shared on sites like Facebook.

There's clearly still some work to be done on the site (the episode guide feature is pretty buggy for me), but who am I to complain when there's more than a decade of South Park episodes to be watched at my leisure? Are there any old episodes you're particularly interested in checking out again?
