Live action shows have the misfortune of people getting old. Most animated shows have the misfortune of kids growing up and the new kids not liking the old shows. But animated shows for teens and adults (and some kids)? Those can last just about forever for as long as it's still popular. I mean, Simpsons maaaaan.

See, if they were planning on making season 15 the lastest of last one, they would be telling us by now. They'd never be dickish enough to say "Derp, this is the end of the show!" right before it's all over. The only reason they like to do the contract in short spurts of seasons at a time is if something really bad happens in-between. You know, like if everybody suddenly stops watching the show, or if Trey or Matt puke their intestines out or something.

Actually, according to Wikipedia, their contract holds them up until 2013. By then, the show would be 15 YEARS OLD, not 15 seasons. So yeah, we've got another three-and-a-half years with South Park. And at this point, even more after that. I'm not worried.
