If you're in the market for a new South Park shirt and want to give to a good cause, you're in luck. Designer Marc Jacobs, who appeared as "Muscle Man Marc" in a South Park episode in November has created licensed shirts featuring Cartman, Butters and Randy March to benefit The Interdisciplinary Melanoma Cooperative Group at New York University.
Jacobs' business partner Robert Duffy said that Trey Parker and Matt Stone were very involved in the process. "They're very, very cautious about collaborations," he said. "We've worked with so many artists in the past, and I'd say Trey and Matt are the most protective of their brand. They were so involved, to the point of wanting to know the texture of the T-shirt and how thick the paint is on the silk screen. I really wanted to do Kenny, but they said there was absolutely no way they were going to let me use Kenny. I wanted to see what he looks like without his coat."
