World Of Warcraft In South Park!

http://www.gamesetwatch.com/sparkwow.jpg Oop, was a bit slow on this (seeing as we're not really a _pro_ blogging site, actually!), but WorldOfWarcraft.com is noting that the 'season' premiere of South Park will feature World Of Warcraft later this week.

There's a video link, and Kotaku has a link to the handy YouTube version, if you don't want to download - as they comment: "Check the preview for a sneak peek at Wednesday's upcoming ultimate crossover for night elves and the boys who love them."

This is particularly interesting because it looks like Blizzard is completely in on the joke - at least, they got a teaser ahead of time, and seem to be cool with it. Does this mean that MMOs are actually treated in an adult, sensible manner, or does the plot involve addiction and hilarious permadeath? Only time will tell!
