South Park won its first Peabody Award on Wednesday, winning praise from judges as TV's boldest, most politically incorrect satirical series. The George Foster Peabody Awards, for broadcasting excellence in both news and entertainment, are given annually by the University of Georgia. The series was praised as a show that "pushes all the buttons, turns up the heat, and shatters every taboo," Peabody Awards Director Horace Newcomb said. "Through that process of offending it reminds us of the need for being tolerant."
