'South Park' isn't done mocking Trump: Trailer for next episode skewers president again
"South Park" isn't finished with President Donald Trump. The Comedy Central show has dropped a trailer for its next episode, which suggests the series will continue mocking Trump after making waves for going after him in its Season 27 premiere. The 20-second trailer includes a shot of Trump attending a dinner, where he is sitting at a table with Satan. As a speaker is heard talking about honoring Trump's courage, the president rubs Satan's leg under the table, and Satan tells him to stop. It's unclear whether this scene will appear in the next episode, airing Aug. 6, or whether it was created solely for the trailer. "South Park" is notorious for not having episodes finished until soon before they air, and during a Comic-Con panel last week, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone acknowledged they created scenes just to use in a trailer for Season 27. But the trailer at least implies that Trump and his relationship with Satan will be a continuing storyline throughout the season, rather than a one-off plot. In its Season 27 premiere, which aired on July 23, "South Park" skewered Trump and showed him literally getting into bed with Satan. He was animated using real photos of the president placed on an animated body, a parody almost identical to the way the show's 1999 movie depicted Saddam Hussein. The White House fired back at the episode, with spokesperson Taylor Rogers saying in a statement to USA TODAY that "South Park" "hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention." One of the main plot lines in the season premiere, titled "Sermon on the 'Mount," was Trump suing the town of South Park. By the end of the episode, the town agrees to do pro-Trump messaging as part of a settlement. The show then cut to a faux public service announcement showing a live-action depiction of Trump taking off his clothes and crawling through a desert. The video was introduced with an on-screen graphic that said "PRO-TRUMP PSA 01 OF 50," suggesting there could be more to come in future episodes. In an appearance at San Diego Comic-Con last week, Parker and Stone sarcastically apologized for the episode. "We're terribly sorry," Parker jokingly said. During their July 24 Comic-Con panel, Parker and Stone also acknowledged that they didn't yet know what would happen in the next "South Park" episode, given how quickly episodes come together. "I don't know what the episode is next week," Parker said. "It's super stressful." Contributing: Brian Truitt

‘Does not belong in this country': Hockey Australia stands by Peris as more anti-Islam re-posts emerge
Hockey gold medallist and former Labor senator Nova Peris shared a series of social media posts scathing of Islam in the lead-up to her election as a director of the sport, including one which said the religion 'should be banned in the West'. Peris was voted onto the board of Hockey Australia last month, nearly three decades after her triumph with the national women's team, the Hockeyroos, at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. But her position as a director of the government-funded national federation has come under question because of comments she has re-posted online this year. This masthead reported that the pro-Israel campaigner shared a comment from another user on X in April that called Muslims 'Satan worshipping cockroaches that need to be eradicated'. That account is no longer active, but other Peris re-posts of anti-Islam rhetoric in the three months before her elevation to the Hockey Australia board have remained on her profile on the social media platform. The 54-year-old, who has 15,000 followers on X, shared a comment by right-wing commentator Kobie Thatcher on April 18 that denounced Muslims praying in public in Parramatta on Good Friday. 'An Islamic prayer service taking place in Prince Alfred Square. This does not belong in this country!' the post said. Peris re-posted material from another user on April 16 who said, 'Islam should be banned in the West'. The comment was made in reaction to a Muslim man in the US who told an interviewer: 'this American empire must fall' and 'people are willing to fight and put their lives on the line to bring these Western empires down'.
