South Park fans, today is a day worth celebrating.  SouthPark Studios has made every episode of the show available for free online viewing.

Every episode is available for streaming but there is one catch; you will have to watch ads.  According to Gizmodo there will be about three ads per episode and are marked by white lines in the timeline.  You can avoid them by clicking past the line which is a limited way to around them.

Also, the episodes are shown uncensored so all the “bad” language will be present.  The streams are fast and video quality is a bar above what most users will be used to.

As of now, the most recent episode is missing from the site and won’t be posted until April.

The episodes are available to residents of the United States, it appears that Canadian users do not have access to the site.  Though, that is probably true for other countries as well.  If you aren’t accessing from the United States it would be my guess that you will not have access to the site.

Ready to watch?  Of course you are; then head on over to the official SouthPark website and watch ’till you drop.

[Update:] Readers in Australia report that the site comes up as “Sorry Australia, Full Episodes Coming soon.”  My guess is that users arriving to the website from countries other than the US will see similar messages.
