‘South Park’ targets federal takeover of DC police in latest episode
The federal takeover of the police force in Washington, D.C., was the subject of Wednesday’s episode of South Park, which continued its cartoon attack on the Trump administration.
In the most recent Comedy Central episode, the recurring character Towelie, a talking, walking towel, was shown riding in a bus past famous buildings including the Capitol and the Supreme Court building while armed forces marched through the streets. In front of the White House, a tank rolled by.
In addition to mocking artificial intelligence, the half-hour show ridiculed tech CEOs and foreign leaders for bowing to President Donald Trump. Towelie eventually found herself in the Oval Office beside the president.
Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of South Park, recently inked a five-year, reportedly $1.5 billion agreement with Paramount for the streaming rights and new episodes of their show, which debuted its 27th season this summer.
In allusion to a passage in the former South Dakota governor’s biography where she said she murdered the family dog due to its behavioral problems, their second episode of the season showed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem murdering pups. Additionally, Noem was shown needing to have her face reattached while being followed by a group of beauticians.
Noem responded to the program by telling Glenn Beck that it’s quite simple to make fun of women based just on their appearance.
Trump’s body was raunchyly mocked in the season premiere, which also showed him sleeping with Satan. In the show on Wednesday, same situation resurfaced.
South Park is no longer relevant and is a fourth-rate entertainment, according to the White House. However, it has been drawing notice; Comedy Central claimed that the Noem episode had the largest audience share in the history of the program, referring to the proportion of viewers who have televisions turned on.
