This week's new episode involves Cartman's obsession with the upcoming Wii launch. After a sleepless night of anticipation, he decides to freeze himself in the Rocky Mountains for three weeks until the console's release date. However, an avalanche covers his cryogenically frozen body so that Butters can't find it to dig him out. Things get pretty strange from there, as the ensuing events involve a war between atheist factions and highly evolved sea otters, set five hundred years in the future.
South Park episodes repeat several times throughout the week on Comedy Central, so check the network's website for the next showing. New episodes also frequently turn up on YouTube within a day or two of the original airing. This episode ends in a cliffhanger, so next week's episode (debuting Wednesday night) is also likely to mention Wii and its "motion control controller".

Being on South Park has been a kiss of death for game systems though.

The amount of purely positive Wii exposure in the episode is remarkable. However, knowing south park, I wouldn't be surprised if cartman finally gets his hands on it in the follow up and loathes it (or something of that sort).
