“South Park” Rebrands as “South America” in Satirical Swipe

Published on

In a surprising move reminiscent of Donald Trump’s actions, the long-running animated series “South Park” is shaking things up by changing its title for the upcoming 29th season to “South America.”

The decision to rebrand the show is a satirical jab at the U.S. president’s penchant for renaming geographical features to include “America,” following the lead of tech giants Apple and Google. Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone made the announcement, thanking their parent company Paramount with a sly reference to Paramount Skydance’s ownership by David Ellison, who has denied any affiliation with Trump despite facing legal scrutiny for alleged dealings related to industry mergers.

Trump’s trend of renaming landmarks began during his second term, with recent attempts to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the “Gulf of America” and Lake Ontario to “Lake America.” While some entities have resisted these changes, Apple and Google have come under fire for adapting to the new monikers on their maps.

The renaming of “South Park” to “South America” coincided with Trump’s musings on renaming New Mexico to “New America,” hinting at potential ongoing satire in the upcoming season. The show, known for its bold humor and frequent lampooning of Trump, has won Emmys and stirred controversy with its irreverent take on political figures.

As “South America” gears up for its premiere on Sept. 16, fans can expect more biting humor and sharp commentary in line with the show’s tradition of pushing boundaries.
