New York -- The state of New Jersey and its inhabitants are the focus of the humor on an upcoming episode of the animated series "South Park," Comedy Central said.

The show's Garden State-themed episode is to air Oct. 13.

"Everything east of the Rockies is now part of New Jersey! South Park is in danger of becoming West Jersey within the week. As the Jerseyites spill into Colorado and approach South Park, Randy and the boys stand strong against the onslaught," the network said in a synopsis of the installment.
