AN INFESTATION OF HEAD LICE PLAGUES SOUTH PARK ELEMENTARY IN AN ALL-NEW "SOUTH PARK" ON WEDNESDAY, MARCH 21 AT 10:00 P.M. ON COMEDY CENTRAL�

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NEW YORK, March 19, 2007 -- The fourth grade class won't be denied their rights as children to make fun of the unfortunate kid who has lice in an all-new "South Park" entitled, "Lice Capades," premiering on Wednesday, March 21 at 10:00 p.m. on COMEDY CENTRAL.

Confidentiality about who has head lice must be maintained so no child is embarrassed; so says the administration at South Park Elementary. When Garrison refuses to name names, Cartman finds a way to detect who has the head cooties.

Launched in 1997, "South Park," now in its 11th season, remains the highest-rated series on COMEDY CENTRAL. "South Park" repeats Wednesdays at 12:00 a.m., Thursdays at 10:00 p.m. and 12:30 a.m., Fridays at 12:00 a.m. and Sundays at 11:00 p.m.
