South Park Satirically Renames Itself 'South America' Ahead of Season 29 Premiere
Ahead of its 29th season premiere on September 16, the animated series South Park announced a satirical name change to "South America." Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone mocked US President Donald Trump's efforts to rename geographic landmarks, such as Lake Ontario to Lake America, and criticized tech companies Apple and Google for complying with these changes. The announcement also included a jab at their parent company Paramount amid its corporate dealings. The move continues South Park's history of political satire, particularly targeting the Trump administration.
