South Park Announces Name Change to 'South America' in Satirical Response to TrumpPreviousNext

The creators of the animated satire South Park announced a tongue-in-cheek name change to "South America," mocking US President Donald Trump's recent efforts to rename geographical landmarks such as Lake Ontario and the Gulf of Mexico. The announcement, made via the show's official X account, also took a jab at its parent company Paramount following its deal with Skydance. The show's 29th season is set to premiere on September 16, continuing its history of satirizing political and social issues.
