Wednesday’s episode of South Park is likely to be a timely address of the election which is playing off today. It looks like they are going to play a game of, “Who’s president-elect” between McCain and Obama. If it’s anything like the episodes “Douche and Turd” and “Best Friends Forever,” which were produced very quickly in the wake of the 2004 election and the Terri Schiavo controversy respectively, the episode could be a surprising example of the quickness of modern animation production. Do you remember the episode “Christmas in Canada” where the makers of South Park produced a Saddam Hussein-themed episode just days after he was captured in Iraq?

Let’s see if Matt and Trey are up to it again.

Does anyone remember Making Fiends? Did anyone ever watch Making Fiends? Making Fiends was a glorious Web cartoon that ran from 2003 to 2006 about the vicious Vendetta, her cavalcade of fiends and the innocent Charlotte, who just wants to be Vendetta’s friend. Well, that cartoon ended unceremoniously with the cast of characters drifting out onto an uncertain sea. Well, two years later, we finally see where they ended up!

Making Fiends creator Amy Winfrey, responsible for equally enjoyable creations Muffin Films and Big Bunny, sold her fiends to Nickelodeon, which has invested in Winfrey’s idea and transformed her cartoon into a brand new Nicktoon. I guess this means Vendetta could be the next SpongeBob, but who knows.

Winfrey says you can get schedule information here. She also alludes unconvincingly to the possibility that the new cartoons will begin becoming available online on Oct. 10. Here’s hoping that’s true (and also that they become available on iTunes, because I’d totally be game for a season pass!)

Here’s the new intro. For you fiendish virgins, check it out, it’s very cool.
