"South Park" Shakes Networks as Trump Takes Deepfake Scenario Too Seriously

In an episode that raised more than a few eyebrows, "South Park" just premiered its 27th season by diving headfirst into some seriously daring content. Keeping it tastefully absurd, the episode paints a wild picture of President Trump begging the devil himself for a night of passion, and also showcases a not-so-flattering deepfake PSA littered with naked Trump shenanigans.

Always ready for a combative soundbite, the White House wasn't too pleased with the animated show's adventurous storyline. Taylor Rogers, a White House spokesperson, hit back with a splash of high brow dread, "The Left's hypocrisy truly has no end – for years they've chastised 'South Park' for controversial content, yet now they're singing its praises."

For Rogers, this episode just proves that "the Left has no original content," and that their "popularity continues to sink to unfathomable lows."

He went on to spin the whole affair into an exercise in political resilience, “This show hasn't been relevant for two decades and is clinging to life with unoriginal ideas in the hopes of getting noticed," he continued, "President Trump has achieved more in six months than any other president ever – no fourth-tier show can halt President Trump’s momentum."

The Season 27 premiere of “South Park” drew viewers into a storyline revolving around Trump hitting back at his adversaries through lawsuits. Much to viewers' amusement, he's seen getting cozy with Satan in his presidential suite. In true “South Park” style, they throw in an outrageous curveball - Jesus Christ put a damper on everyone's protest against the president, warning that the show risks cancellation if they keep taking swipes at Trump, bringing up the recent “60 Minutes” settlement as potential proof of the backlash they face.

Reflecting on the sensational premiere, “South Park” posted the deepfake PSA shown in the episode on their new launch site. The clip artfully shows a deepfake Trump wandering desolate landscapes, shedding his clothing down to his unassuming anatomy. The voice-over adds a humorous twist, conveying admiration for Trump's relentless determination - albeit with a nod to his less impressive physical attributes.

Paramount seems unfazed by the controversy, standing strong on their recent five-year deal with "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, which includes an impressive 50 new episodes and streaming rights for all seasons on Paramount+. Taking big comedic risks is business as usual in the animated world of “South Park”, never holding back when it comes to treading controversial waters, giving audiences something to talk about, time and time again.
