'South Park' retorts to White House with 5-word NSFW tweet
South Park is in a battle of sorts with Donald Trump and the White House, and the ante just got upped. Some recent history: The first episode of Season 27 of the Comedy Central cartoon featured some VERY NSFW depictions of Trump. And with a second episode coming this week, we're all waiting to see if it'll be about Trump. MORE SOUTH PARK: Why was the series removed from HBO Max? It might be about ICE, according to images released by the show (see below), and the Department of Homeland Security used South Park images to recruit people to ICE. South Park's response? Well, it connected to what a White House spokesperson said: "This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention." A tweet from the South Park X account read: "Wait, so we ARE relevant? #eatabagof[expletives]." Whew. We'll see what South Park has in store on Wednesday night. Is the new South Park episode going to feature Donald Trump? We don't know yet. But we do know that it'll be focused on ICE, which could mean a Trump appearance or two.

South Park depicts Trump in bed with Satan and targets Paramount after inking new $1.5b deal
SOUTH PARK HAS kicked off its 27 th season with an episode that takes aim at both US President Donald Trump and the show's network partner Paramount. The season opener, Sermon on the Mount, shows Trump in bed with Satan, who is a recurring character in the show. The episode also touches on Trump's lawsuit with Paramount and the recent announcement of the cancellation of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which airs on the Paramount-owned CBS. On Wednesday, South Park's creators penned a licensing agreement with Paramount worth a reported $1.5 billion. Epstein In the episode, Trump's character is asked directly by Satan about if he is on the 'Epstein list'. In a July 7 memo, the Justice Department said the Epstein 'client list' that Attorney General Pam Bondi claimed to have been reviewing did not in fact exist. Satan asks Trump if it's on the Epstein list. 'It's weird that whenever it comes up, you just tell everyone to relax,' Satan says.

Trump's ties to Epstein are extensive. The pair were pictured partying together during a 15-year friendship before they fell out in 2004 over a property deal, and when Trump subsequently denounced his former ally.

Paramount In addition to taking aim at Trump, the latest South Park episode criticises Paramount and its decision to cancel The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. In the latest episode, a row erupts in the fictional South Park over the literal presence of Jesus in schools. Advertisement When the South Park parents protest to Trump that they don't want Jesus in the classroom, the cartoon-Trump threatens to sue them for $5 billion. Jesus begs them to settle and adds: 'You guys saw what happened to CBS! You really want to end up like Colbert? You guys gotta stop being stupid.' CBS is owned by Paramount, and it decided to end its long running 'Late Show' days after its host Stephen Colbert blasted Paramount's $16 million settlement with Trump as 'a big fat bribe.' Colbert is a high-profile critic of the US president and told Trump to 'go fuck yourself' after his show's cancellation. CBS has insisted that the cancellation was 'purely a financial decision.'

Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo Trump had sued Paramount for $20 billion last year, alleging that CBS News' '60 Minutes' news program deceptively edited an interview with his 2024 election rival, Kamala Harris, in her favour. Meanwhile, Paramount is seeking to close its $8 billion merger with the entertainment company Skydance, which needs approval from the Trump-controlled Federal Communications Commission. Some critics alleged that the $16 million dollar settlement and cancellation of The Late Show are attempts to curry favour with Trump ahead of the merger. Meanwhile, South Park's criticism of Paramount comes a day after it penned a deal with the company worth a reported $1.5 billion. On Wednesday, South Park Digital Studios announced it had entered into an exclusive five-year license deal with Paramount+. South Park Digital Studios is a joint venture by Paramount and South Park creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker. The deal will see 50 new episodes aired on the Paramount-owned Comedy Central over five years, which will stream exclusively on Paramount+ worldwide. The entire South Park library will also be made available on Paramount+ in the US. In a post on X, Dylan Byers, a senior correspondent at US media company Puck, wrote: 'Hard to think of anything more defiant in media and entertainment recently than Trey Parker and Matt Stone going scorched earth on Paramount in a South Park season premiere on the heels of netting a $1.5 billion deal with the very same company.'
