We've been reading a lot of feedback on the site, and we know that sometimes you just want to watch an episode of South Park but don't know which one!
Well, worry no more!
Today we're trying out a "random episode" button to the front page of the site. Just click it and be taken to a totally random episode from our vast library of 12 seasons!

So good to have this random, it was the only thing missing.
Maybe you can add a random playlist, so it will be perfect :>
Jof - Waiting for the fourth episode :p

Cool idea.
Serious questions:
- What information is recorded, collected, available or can be seen by SP Digital Studios when a episode is down loaded to a PC?
- Can you see ISPs and other details, and what are those details?
- Is this information kept and, if so, what for?
Data protection laws differ from country to country so I hope SPDS is being as mindful as possible not to compromise anyone's right to privacy and personal information protection.
I noticed that if you cannot DL more than one episode at the time - even the same episode. Therefore some information is being read by a server/computer somewhere in the ether that is particular to the PC attempting to do that. How is that function implemented?

This was available on an illegal south park site. A good idea, and i'm glad it is now implemented. Regretfully, have watched possibly pirated material from other shows, but south park isn't one of them.
This seems counter intuitive, but being my favorite show, I refuse (and always have) to short change Matt, Trey, and all of the south park team.
This site is great, the design is superb, and the innovative step in media distribution is inspiring.
There is now no reason for anyone to watch pirated south park episodes, and if anyone does or know someone that does, they should stop and use only this site in my humble opinion.
Matt and Trey are always one step ahead. I wish the public at large would appreciate how smart the show is (on multiple levels) rather than discredit it as "potty mouth" humor, or attribute its success strictly to shock value.
South park is more intelligent and culturally relevant than most of the rest of television in its entirety. It's a little ironic that south park is a lonely bastion of integrity in media, isn't it?
From one Coloradan to another, Thanks guys.

Not sure if that would actually hold up in a European court of law but hey, who'd be bothered trying?! EU privacy laws and data protection legislation are more akin to California Privacy Laws - funny that...
* One more question - is this a record?

Please bring back the random episode button!
(Or if that's not possible, please post the URL to pull-up a random episode. Then I'll create my own shortcut to it.)
Thanks!

Can we get a link to the random episode service? That way, even when it's take down from the front page, we can still use it?
