According to tv.msn.com the creators of "South Park," Trey Parker and Matt Stone are being sued over a "King Lollipop," character which was aired on their show three times in 2009.
Exavier Wardlaw is suing the comedic duo for the use of the character which he claims is included in his "Imaginationland, trilogy based on the Big Bad Lollipop character from "The Lollipop Forest."
Wardlaw wants to take action against the show that airs on Comedy Central show because he believes that the show isn't family friendly and tarnishes his character the "King Lollipop."
The creator of "Imaginationland," claims that the team at "South Park," stole his character and used it without permission or attribution of authorship or compensation for use.
A complaint further reads. "The 'South Park' television broadcast diminished/tarnished the value of 'The Lollipop Forest' as a wholesome family show by association within the context of unwholesome language and sexual innuendo."
The satiric show "South Park," was created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone in the early 90s and is currently in its 16th season and features the voices of the two creators along with Mona Marshall and April Stewart and formerly Issac Hayes, Mary Kay Bergmann and Eliza Schneider.
The series centers around the exploits of four young boys "Eric Cartman," "Stan Marsh," "Kyle Broflovski" and "Kenny McCormick."
The television broadcast is not exempted from controversy as it has offended many individuals and groups including religious factions in Islam, Christianity and Scientology as well as ethnic groups such as blacks.
