The New Hotness: Free!

Ooooooh! You know what's so hot right now?

Free.

It seems that there is money to be made in giving things away for free. We're not sure how exactly, something to do with page clicks or banner ads or something, but the point is that the cost of good and services, especially online services is dwindling, and in many cases, that dwindling means that things are completely free.

Gmail: Free
Youtube: Free
Wikipedia: Free
CNN.com: Free
Slashdot: Free
Fandango: Free
Skype: Free

And now we've got two more runners in the "give it away, give it away, give it away now" race.

Photoshop and South Park.

Unlikely bedfellows, we know.

Seriously, go to South Park Studios and watch every episode from every season, streaming instantly, when and where you want it.

Free! All for free!

What's next?

Free cars? Free houses? Free clothes?

Where will it all end?

We're excited to find out!
