Slow South Park

After Colbert tonight I left the TV on for a bit of South Park, a show whose virtues are mostly ignored by me, thanks to its gratuitous profanity. But what hit me this time is how the voices of the kids are, in the tradition of David Seville and the Chipmunks, obviously sped up.

I grabbed 90+ seconds of audio, then slowed it down. A reduction of 25% sounded about right.

This is video of the mysterious objects being placed around Boston. This stunt ranks with the San Diego radio station contest that got a woman to drink water until she died, to win a Wii. But as stupid as The Cartoon Network was, Boston authorities must accept some blame for playing the part of Chicken Little.
