“South Park” returned with the 27th season at the beginning of this week. And caused a sensation because President Donald Trump was portrayed with a “tiny little” penis. During a appearance on the comic-Con yesterday, the creator Trey Parker and Matt Stone reacted to the immense response to the episode.
Controversy about Trump presentation
“We are terribly sorry,” Parker joked when he was asked if they had followed the reactions. The makers did not want to comment further. However, they explained that large parts of the episode only arose three days before the broadcast. “We thought: ‘I don’t know if people will like it,'” said Parker (via Deadline). “We read things in the newspaper. And thought: ‘Let’s put it in!'”
The episode – with the title “Sermon on the ‘Mount” – put Trump’s obsession on the grain, with the help of lawsuits with the media and political opponents, as well as chatt, the introduction of religion in public schools in America, state censorship and creasing corporations. In one scene, the president is naked in bed. With a small penis. And tries to seduce Satan. A series character says to Trump: “I don’t see anything. It is so small.”
Parker told the audience at the comic-Con that most of the comments from Paramount had referred to Trump’s penis, who was seen in the animated scene with Satan and in a Deepfake PSA with a naked Trump.
“They said: ‘We’ll pixel the penis’, and we said: ‘No, you will not pixelate the penis’,” said Parker. Stone added: “If we give the penis eyes, we don’t pixelate it. Adults have discussed four damn days for this! It’s a character.”
The moderator joked that Parker and Stone would soon receive a summons. “Already okay, man – I’m ready,” replied Parker.
No “planned” consequences – and supposedly “no politics”
The duo added that they have not yet known how the new season would develop. Parker said they had never produced a number of episodes in advance, and the trailer, which was published before the premiere, was only done to accommodate the broadcaster. “We don’t do it all,” said Parker. Stone joked that future episodes would include “no politics”. “None at all,” he said with a smile. “No such shit.”
Successful deal with Paramount
The relay premiere of “South Park” took place less than 24 hours after the makers had completed a $ 1.5 billion with Paramount Plus. “We are grateful for this opportunity and feel honored by the trust they have placed in us. It is more than just a contract – it is about our commitment to this organization, our teammates and our fans,” said Parker in a explanation. “We focus on building something special and doing everything to bring championships to this city.”
Reaction from the White House
The white house reacted to the episode yesterday. Trump’s spokeswoman Taylor Rogers told Rolling Stone: “The hypocrisy of the left really knows no boundaries – for years they have attacked ‘South Park’ because of allegedly ‘offensive’ content, but suddenly they celebrate the series. Just like the makers of ‘South Park’, the left has no authentic or original content, which is why this series has not been reached for over 20 years Relevant and only keeps up with uninspired ideas to get attention.
