Some bought it, singing along to the government tune. But once the Serbs wake up from their agitprop reverie, they will discover a country in ruins. Some were already...
...ratings board and Paramount executives, with whom they have fought over the upcoming film, they admit they refuse to compromise. "It's not that we don't care about our careers. We're just not insane about our careers like some people here are," says Parker. "We know this is going to end. I don't want to be 55 and doing South Park...
