Video: Exit through the Genius Bar

Once you get past the elaborate poop joke, South Park's Apple send-up is spot on

Source: South Park Studios

Comedy Central didn't do its South Park franchise any favors with the clip it chose to promote the 15th season premier: The keynote where Steve Jobs unveils the HumancentiPad. Jobs send-ups are comedic cliches and the centiPad -- a scatalogical spoof on a Dutch horror film few Americans have seen -- is almost unwatchable.

That's a shame, because the episode is a brilliant parody of all things Apple (AAPL) -- albeit one intended for adult audiences that aren't offended by repeated (and pitch perfect) use of the F word.

We're particularly fond of the Genius Bar scenes -- represented by the first clip posted below the fold. The second clip may be the funniest, but it's not suitable for viewing (or listening to) at work.

You can view the full 22-minute episode here. Flash required.

• Stephen Colbert breaks down AT&T's latest moves

  The comedian seems to have a handle on the AT&T-T-Mobile situation.

  By the way, this aired all the way back in 2007 when SBC was absorbing AT&T wireless and the brand.  It seems even more applicable now that that T-Mobile is the latest mobile carrier to get's sucked into the "new" AT&T (T).

• Stephen Colbert needs an iPad 2

  He's not sleeping. He's not eating. He's not even sleep-eating.

  Stephen Colbert capped his Grammy monologue last year by reaching under his suit jacket and pulling out an iPad -- four days after Steve Jobs unveiled it and two months before it went on sale.

  It was, as we wrote at the time, a triumph of product placement.

  This year Colbert isn't getting any special treatment from Apple (AAPL). At least not MORE

• Clash of the titans: the cable wars, continued

  News Corp. vs Cablevision. Cablevision vs. Disney. The list goes on and on. An updated tally of cable licensing deals gone horribly awry.

  As the Cablevision and News Corp. feud continues, more than three million subscribers remain without Fox programming. Cablevision blames News Corp. for demanding an extortionate increase in retransmission fees; News Corp. argues Cablevision isn't negotiating in good faith. Regardless of which party is at fault, the cable MORE

• Can Steve Jobs unplug cable TV?

  CBS and Disney may join Apple's $30 per month TV service, says the Wall St. Journal

  This could be totally disruptive. Or it could be another "hobby" like Apple TV that never quite takes off.

  In a front-page story published Tuesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that CBS (CBS) and Disney (DIS) are "considering participating" in Apple's (AAPL) plan to offer television subscriptions over the Internet.

  It was the first hint of interest MORE
