"And the Americans headed to the West, the final frontier, to boldy go where no man has gone before, and kill a lot more Indians."

You may know Trey Parker as co-creator of South Park and Book of Mormon, but he's also the auteur behind this award-winning student film, “American History.” The animated college film from 1992 won a Student Academy Award. It features the narration of Parker's college roommate Junichi Nishimura, for whom English was a second language. May this short film live forever on YouTube.

This is also an excuse to post my favorite photo of Matt Stone and Trey Parker here on Boing Boing.
