Mobile consumers using the application can directly access message boards, streaming video, behind-the-scenes news and blogs, ringtones, graphics and more. "South Park Mobile" was designed to incorporate standard online conventions from southparkstudios and comedycentral sites to allow new users to easily navigate through the show's mobile content via an interface specially made for mobiles.

"With the launch of the 'South Park Mobile' application, we are providing mobile consumers with a constant 'South Park' fix and access to exclusive content all in one central location."

The new application features the "South Park" character creator which allows users to build their own avatar to be displayed on the message boards and within their personal profiles, fresh video content updated weekly and delivered through a built-in media player, production blogs from South Park Studios, exclusive news, Q&A's with show creators Parker and Stone and other key players, flipbooks from exclusive "South Park" events, favorite episodes, as well as storyboard art and behind-the-scenes photos.

In addition, "South Park Mobile" will contain the ultimate Episode Guide featuring video, plot synopses and premium content from every episode of all 10 seasons of "South Park." A "South Park Mobile" store will also be available, allowing users to preview and purchase games, ringtones and wallpapers.
