Old School. Biblically Independent.

South Park has not been particularly popular among folks on the left for years. It’s often criticized — including last night’s episode — for playing both sides. Over the last five years, it’s gleefully shredded “wokeism,” only to return this week and go after the right for taking things too far in the other direction.
That whiplash earned the episode some begrudging respect from viewers who don’t typically like South Park. But it also trafficked in gay slurs, used the r-word, and suggested that NPR is staffed exclusively by “lesbians and Jews who complain a lot.” The thing about South Park is that it’s not trying to please both sides — it’s trying to piss them both off. And over two decades, it’s done so successfully.
The President hasn’t commented yet on South Park’s depiction of his miniature member, but White House Assistant Press Secretary Taylor Rogers has, telling Deadline:
“The Left’s hypocrisy truly has no end - for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as ‘offensive’ content, but suddenly they are praising the show. Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. This show hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history - and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”
It’s a jumble of words, but the gist seems to be an attempt to equate South Park with the left (ha!), while also criticizing the left for enjoying this episode. Still, for the White House, the attack on South Park is relatively mild — calling it “fourth-rate” and irrelevant — considering the actual content of the episode. And if the President does come out against it, I’m guessing he’s only going to attract more eyeballs to the episode (and his miniature member).
That said, the White House would be hard-pressed to claim “low ratings” for a show that just signed a $1.5 billion deal with Paramount and likely had its most-watched episode in years last night. And while Paramount may have been capitulating to the White House for the last six months, if I were the President, I might be kissing Matt Parker and Trey Stone’s ass. They have the attention of both sides of the political spectrum right now and 22 minutes a week to say whatever the hell they want, and they clearly give no f***s what the President thinks, what the left thinks, or what Joe Rogan thinks (pleasegoafterJoeRogannextweekPleasePleasePlease).
