Perhaps this is worth a laugh for some of you. It's strange which "celebrities" are payed to promote South Park.

Comedy Central Germany decided to do some kind of South Park Christmas Special this year, and so they showed 11 episodes in a row. Nice idea, but unfortunately they had a guest host too... Lorielle London.
She was called Lorenzo when taking part in the German version of "Pop Idol" back in 2003 and was made fun of due to her lack of talent. Since then Lorenzo decided to become a woman and show her face and fake tits on TV. But her only "success" was taking part in "I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!" and a cooking show, she never hosted a show herself or was successful in acting or singing.

So... why is someone like this chosen to promote South Park? It's a shame, because getting known because of failing in casting shows is the poorest way of them all. Why not choosing a real Comedian?
And to make it even worse Lorielle London dressed up as "Mrs. Hankey", here's a little scary trailer:

Do you know of other degrading promotions in your own country? I guess the U.S. don't do those things, because Trey and Matt would intervene.

Mrs. Hankey, the Christmas Poo? Well, if Mr. Garrison can become a woman, then a man with a detachable penis, why not? :lol:

I guess Viacom is fine with this, since it handles the merchandising and promotion of the show.

I dunno. Who cares who hosts a batch of episodes?
I'd like to see Sean Penn host a handful of his faves... or least faves.

I think it's that she has failure written all over her career in either gender. "Tacky" is putting it nicely.

Janina, check out the latest entry on my site. :)

Yes, it's not about her being a transvestite - there could be many better choices if they wanted to show a transsexual piece of poo and it's nothing bad.

What pisses of many fans around here is the fact, that they often promoted South Park as a mindless show for stupid people. They like to reduce it to the swear words and don't care about the satiric potential. Losers from casting shows are the lowest type of celebs you can get here.

@Will: Oh, I'm sure that's the most notable appearance of her on an international website now! :D

I'm sure s/he has some sort of fan base. I have to admit to occasionally watching RuPaul's show "Drag Race", where drag queens compete against each other in drag related contests like dressing up butch girls as drag queens, doing another drag queen's make-up, etc.
