South Park renames itself 'South America'
Creators of the animated series South Park have rebranded the show as South America, a sarcastic commentary on US President Donald Trump's attempts to rename geographic landmarks and the compliance of tech companies. The decision was inspired by the principles exemplified by Apple and Google. South Park co-creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone expressed gratitude to their parent company Paramount in a statement on X. The name change was announced a week before the show's 29th season premiere on Comedy Central on September 16.
The revision was made on South Park's X account but not on its website or Paramount+. The joke, according to the creators, is a promotional gag rather than a formal rebranding. The renaming comes as Trump had previously directed the renaming of Lake Ontario to Lake America, escalating a trade dispute with Canada.
