‘South Park’ Creators Sued Over Lollipop King In ‘Imaginationland’
Step 1: Sue Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, for copyright violation.
Step 3: Profit!
Lollipops are meant to remain wholesome. This according to Exavier Wardlaw, creator of the children’s show “The Lollipop Forest,” who slapped Matt Stone and Trey Parker of “South Park” with a lawsuit claiming the show ripped off his lollipop character and defiled it.
TMZ obtained the details of the copyright infringement lawsuit against “South Park” filed by Wardlaw. The lawsuit alleges that the “South Park” character Lollipop King is a hack version of Wardlaw’s “Lollipop Forest” character Big Bad Lollipop. Wardlaw claims that his wholesome show was defiled when his character was exposed to “unwholesome language and sexual innuendo.”
Three episodes of “South Park” from 2007, entitled “Imaginationland,” featured Lollipop King and showed the candy being choked by a Storm Trooper, witnessing a suicide bombing and watching Kyle and Cartman engage in oral sex, TMZ notes. Still, “Imaginationland” scored an Emmy in 2008 for Outstanding Animated Program for a show one hour or more.
Wardlaw was seemingly unimpressed.

Boy, this could really suck. Or blow, depending on the type of lollipop.
I don’t even see anything on the web about this show existing other than this lawsuit.
What happened to “Step 2”?
