'South Park': Eric Cartman is the 1%

south-park-1-percent.jpgGod bless "South Park" for its ability, alone among half-hour animated shows, to turn out episodes on basically a moment's notice.

Thanks to that quick turnaround time, Trey Parker and Matt Stone will offer up their take on the 1 percent vs. 99 percent argument that's fueling the various Occupy protests across the country. The episode, appropriately titled "1%," airs Wednesday (Nov. 2).

"South Park" airs at 10 p.m. ET Wednesday on Comedy Central.
