'South Park'

The long-running animated series is back for a 16th season, ready and willing to offend most anyone. In tonight's episode (titled "Faith Hilling") the boys attend a GOP presidential debate. Yes, this is a cartoon, but do I need to remind you that it is not for children? Or the easily offended? 10 p.m. Wednesday on Comedy Central (seattletimes.com/tvlistings).
