NFL fans watching Sunday’s Philadelphia Eagles-Washington Redskins were treated to a rare sight during a fourth-quarter commercial break.
FOX aired a one-minute ad for the 18th season of “South Park” that was less a promo for the Comedy Central show and more a thorough takedown of the Redskins’ nickname and the controversy surrounding it.
“South Park” taking on the issue is no surprise — its demolition of the NCAA is tremendous stuff — but seeing it air during the middle of a Sunday afternoon game was strange, to say the least.
