South Park
Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone announced Tuesday that “South Park” will supposedly change its title to “South America” for the show’s upcoming 29th season. The move is in reference to the Trump administration’s attempts to rename things like the Gulf of Mexico and Lake Ontario as Gulf of America and Lake America.
In a press release, Parker and Stone say: “Inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, we are changing the name of South Park to SOUTH AMERICA. We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount — a Skydance Capitulation.” The series returns on September 16th. [Source: THR]
