Here's How "South Park" Was Able To Get That Trump Micropenis Into The Episode
I'm sure you know about that Trump South Park episode by now. One of the biggest *stars* of the episode was a penis. A micropenis to be exact. That little nubbin' was just dangling everywhere. One PARTICULARLY explicit part of the episode featured a PSA with a deepfake of Trump getting naked in the desert. You can watch it here: At the end of the PSA, Trump is lying on the ground in the desert, seemingly not going to make it when his micropenis "gets up" and tells him to carry on. I'll spare you the image because it's a legit-looking penis. It ends with: "Trump: His penis is teeny tiny, but his love for us is large." WELL, now we know how they were able to show that little tallywacker. At a Comic Con panel in San Diego, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone revealed how they were able to sneak the two-eyed demon in there. "They're like, 'OK, but we're gonna blur the penis.' And I'm like, 'No, you're not gonna blur the penis,' Parker said. "But we did, we put eyes on the penis" Stone added. "We put little eyes on it." "If we put eyes on the penis, we won't blur it," the production company said. "And then that was a whole conversation with a lot of grown-up people for about four fucking days." Why? "Because then it's a character," Parker said. "It's a character." So, there you have it. You just have to add some googly eyes to a penis and suddenly it's a passable character for television. The more you know!

South Park's savage takedown shows Trump has picked a fight he can't win
Of all the dubious achievements of Donald Trump's time in office, the most surprising may be this: the US president has made South Park relevant again. The long-running animation – just days ago signing a record-breaking $1.5bn deal with Paramount to produce 50 new episodes over the next five years – used its long-awaited season premiere to launch a characteristically pugnacious critique of the president. Over the past weeks and months, Trump's antagonism towards his country's arts and media sector has intensified. Part of this has manifested in legislation – such as the cuts to PBS and NPR, the US's public service broadcasters, which were passed by congress earlier this month. The National Endowment for the Arts has undergone drastic cuts this year, slashing government investment in the humanities at a local level. At other times, Trump's ire has taken the form of litigation: Trump last year sued Paramount, the parent company of the network CBS, over what he contended was misleading editing in an interview with his opponent Kamala Harris ahead of the 2024 election. This month, legal action was also launched against The Wall Street Journal, NewsCorp and Rupert Murdoch, over the publication of the president's alleged birthday letter to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The fight with Paramount has an extra wrinkle: a proposed $8bn merger with Skydance Media, which requires the approval of the FCC, the federal regulatory body, to go ahead. Much of Paramount's recent decision-making has been interpreted as an attempt to pre-emptively pander to the forthcoming owners, and to the FCC, now under the leadership of Trump's hand-picked chairman Brendan Carr. This includes the announcement earlier this month that Stephen Colbert's popular TV stalwart The Late Show, long vocal in its criticism of the president, was not being renewed beyond next year. It was also announced that Paramount had agreed to settle what some have called the 'patently unconstitutional' Trump lawsuit for $16m – prompting claims of 'bribery' from Democratic senators. Titled 'Sermon on the Mount', the new episode of South Park folds these various controversies into one unwieldy blob of satire. One minute, you have South Park's breakout character, foul-mouthed schoolboy Eric Cartman, bemoaning the defunding of NPR. Later in the episode, Trump sues the town of South Park, with the figure of Jesus Christ – sent by Trump to impose himself in the local schools – telling the locals: 'You guys saw what happened to CBS! You really want to end up like Colbert?' The episode ends with the town being instructed to pay Trump $3.5m, and record a PSA of 'pro-Trump messaging'. These are, at least, the more tasteful criticisms of Trump that South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone deploy. Elsewhere, they resort to sledgehammer irreverence, South Park's usual weapon of choice. In one scene, Trump has a sexual encounter with Satan; another sees the cartoon president bare his genitals and reveal that he has a micropenis. Rumours that Trump appears on the widely discussed "Epstein list" are also mentioned. It's significant, perhaps, that South Park should enter its new era on Paramount with an episode that's so unapologetically anti-Trump. Where much of the entertainment industry has always skewed left-wing, South Park has always teetered somewhere in the middle, spitting its acid in both directions. It has a storied history of shunning political correctness, while never tipping over into right-wing reactionism. Parker and Stone's comic ethos – that both sides of any debate are usually just as fatuous as each other – has seen the show, and its creators, weather substantial criticism down the years. But they've stuck to it. South Park is, if not a voice of reason, then at the very least, a voice of uniform scepticism. You have to wonder what the bosses at Paramount are thinking right now; South Park hasn't just bitten the hand that feeds it, but torn it clean off the arm. (And in any case, it won't need feeding again for another five years.) The White House went so far as to issue a statement hitting out at South Park, branding it a 'fourth-rate show' that 'hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread' – criticisms that might hold more water if the ink on a billion-dollar licensing deal wasn't still wet. Parker and Stone were unrepentant during an appearance at Comic-Con after the episode aired, while an administration source told Deadline that the president was 'seething'. There's a lesson in here, when it comes to Trump. For all the legislative power he wields, and the not-inconsiderable influence he may hold over parts of the entertainment industry, a war with television is not one he can win. The more he tries to impose himself, the more mud will be flung his way. And some of it, inevitably, will stick.

White House fires back after South Park mocks Trump and Paramount settlement
The White House fired back at South Park on Thursday for mocking President Donald Trump during its season premiere. South Park's 27th season premiere on Wednesday depicted the president in bed with Satan while talking about his alleged Jeffrey Epstein cover-up, and took shots at his recent settlement with Paramount. Both scenes included crude depictions of his genitalia. "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," White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Fox News Digital. "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." The episode featured Trump suing the town of South Park and eventually reaching a settlement with the fictional Colorado town for $3.5 million and a commitment to produce pro-Trump public service ads (PSA). In one of the ads, a lifelike depiction of an overweight Trump was shown walking through a desert. A voiceover for the ad stated, "Donald J. Trump. No matter how hot it gets, he's not afraid to fight for America." As the scene continued, Trump stripped off his clothes and collapsed onto the sand naked. The next shot featured his penis – shown as comically small – rising and stating, "I'm Donald J. Trump and I endorse this message." The voiceover added, "Trump. His penis is teeny-tiny but his love for us is large." The mock PSA appeared to be a parody of Trump's recent settlement with CBS and parent company Paramount Global. Trump has said the settlement includes an eight-figure allocation set aside for advertisements, public service announcements, or other similar transmissions, in support of conservative causes by the network in the future, that will be paid for by incoming owners following a long-planned merger. South Park, which reached a $1.5 billion streaming deal with Paramount on Monday, which also reportedly includes 10 new episodes a year. The show's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, took shots at Paramount earlier this month after its season premiere was delayed by two weeks. On X, the show's official account blamed the pending Paramount and Skydance merger for its delay. "This merger is a s---show and it's f---ing up South Park," Parker and Stone said. "We are at the studio working on new episodes, and we hope the fans get to see them somehow." Elsewhere in the episode, Trump was shown dodging accusations of hiding the details of sex predator Jeffrey Epstein's case from the public, including accusations from Satan, who was depicted as Trump's lover. As Trump stripped off his clothes to get into bed with Satan – revealing his genitalia again – Satan mentioned he heard that the president was on the Epstein list. "The Epstein list? Are we still talking about that?," Trump responded. "Well, are you on the list or not? It's weird that whenever it comes up, you just tell everyone to relax," Satan continued. Trump replied, "I'm not telling everyone to relax! Relax, guy!" The scene appeared to be mocking Trump for rebuking his supporters who continue to ask about the Epstein files. Earlier this month, the DOJ and the FBI released a memo concluding that Epstein committed suicide in his cell, there is no "client list," and the supposed "Epstein files" are thousands of illegal child sex abuse material and other pornography subject to court-ordered sealing. Since then, Trump has ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to work on releasing more files related to the Epstein case. The White House also criticized liberals who are now praising South Park when they had previously called it offensive. "The Left's hypocrisy truly has no end – for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as 'offense' 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," Rogers told Fox News Digital. Paramount did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
