The most recent South Park episode, featuring a naked Donald Trump, may have violated the law.
While this article is technically correct on some things, it’s somewhat missing the entire point of what Matt and Trey did very intentionally. They want Trump to try and sue them.
Trump has inappropriately promoted and used various AI depictions of some seriously fucked up shit, and therefore would immediately lose in court if trying to sure based on the existing laws. In fact, they never showed Trump’s dick. They just alluded to it being his dick…with AI.
I would FUCKING LOVE for Trump to try and sue them, because Matt and Trey will make it the circus it deserves to be, get some amazing stuff in discovery, and they can fucking afford not only defending themselves and their content from frivolous lawsuits, but then countersue and fuck Trump and all of his cronies up when it comes out who has been pulling the strings with the absolutely batshit insane stuff that gets posted on his accounts, and government accounts being misused in an official capacity to push dogshit.
I look forward to this with a shwaybone.
Matt and Trey really don’t give a fuck. They tried to show Muhammed in multiple cartoons, and when the network vociferously shouted them down about it (because it might get them killed or their offices attacked), they snuck him in anyway in multiple places and just didn’t tell anyone. When one of the foundational members of their cast didn’t want them to trash Scientology, they trashed it ten times harder and told him not to let the door hit him on the ass on the way out. They made out with each other for a long time in “Baseketball.”
However valuable or not you feel like their message / their humor is, they are among the very few voices in mainstream media who are simply unafraid and doing their own thing, completely without reservation.
Agreed, except Isaac Hayes never wanted to quit. The fucking Scientologists did it “for him” while he was incapacitated in the hospital. Reportedly, Hayes loved doing the show and wouldn’t have quit on his own.
Trey and Matt have simply said that they miss their friend.
Jesus Christ, I didn’t know that. That’s worse.
I highly recommend watching the Joe Rogan interview with David Miscavige’s dad, it’s just wild and weird.
Also, where’s Shelly? Where did she go?
“Matt and tray so loved America they were willing to burn $1.5 billion to save it.”
I have a feeling they’re going to be fine moneywise whatever happens. Their personal safety is probably fine. Maybe not, but probably they don’t have to worry too much.
It’s still courage that they’re doing it.
Where are all those liberals at who just recently defended Dems for voting with Republicans to pass this law?? Where are all their bullshit justifications now?
i find it very interesting how suddenly trump loves a law that focuses on consent. so, he does understand what that means?
According to the article im a Joe Rogan and Andrew Tate fan. I’ve only seen Rogan a few times from Fear Factor and no idea who Andrew Tate is, so I guess they fucked up there.
What do you mean? The article just points out that the show’s demographic may somewhat overlap with, for example, Rogan’s demographic:
The show’s core demographic—predominantly men aged 18 to 49—overlaps meaningfully with the audiences of figures like Joe Rogan and, to a lesser extent, Andrew Tate.
They are not saying that Rogan listeners also watch South Park, or that South Park is republican. The article is just pointing out that this demographic of men aged between 18 and 49 overlaps with “Joe Rogan[’s] and, to a lesser extent, Andrew Tate[’s demographic].”
They even frame this as a potential advantage, saying that
South Park holds a rare cultural position in that it can potentially speak directly to groups adjacent to the MAGA movement without preaching, pandering, or being immediately dismissed [emphasis added].
I don’t know about you, but it didn’t feel like it was calling South Park fans like us Joe Rogan listeners. It felt more like the article was pointing out that some, maybe even a majority, of fans could also be Rogan fans, which would make the audiences that South Park reaches with this anti-Trump episode especially influential.
Idk; I certainly didn’t feel offended or anything like that, but I might be misunderstanding you here.
