 This short was made for FOX executive Brian Graden (qv) to send  out to his friends as a Christmas card. Because of some of the  content he realized when it was completed that he really couldnt  send it out to all his friends. The ones that did get it, passed it  around and the resulting buzz led to the possibility for a  television series _"South Park" (1997)_ (qv), first at FOX and  finally at Comedy Central.
