Colorado Prof Cheers ‘South Park' Trump Mockery, Frustrated By Comics Not Doing Same
PHOENIX, ARIZONA - DECEMBER 22: U.S. President-elect Donald Trump looks on during Turning Point ... More USA's AmericaFest at the Phoenix Convention Center on December 22, 2024 in Phoenix, Arizona. The annual four day conference geared toward energizing and connecting conservative youth hosts some of the country's leading conservative politicians and activists. (Photo by) A Colorado professor said it was 'funny as hell' the way South Park went after President Donald Trump in its Season 27 premiere episode, yet he's frustrated that more comedians on the left aren't taking the same approach. South Park, of course, is set in the fictionalized Colorado city of South Park, which follows four elementary school friends: Cartman, Stan, Kyle and Kenny. In the new episode, called Sermon on the 'Mount, series creators and voice stars Trey Parker and Matt Stone skewered the president by, among other things, giving him small genitalia both in South Park-style animation and through a live-action AI deepfake. The episode also showed a South Park-animated version of Trump in bed with Satan and in some not-so-flattering 'White House portraits,' plus it also refers to 'Epstein's list.' The debut of the South Park Season 27 episode came only hours after Paramount Global announced a deal it made with Parker and Stone to bring South Park and 50 new episodes to its Paramount+ streaming platform, as well as the first 26 seasons of the Comedy Central series. The deal, which is for five years, was reported by several outlets to be worth $1.5 billion and comes just as Skydance finalizes its acquisition of Paramount Global. Given the classic animated Comedy Central series' history where everyone is subject to ridicule, Parker and Stone also took aim not only at Trump, but Paramount Global in its Season 27 premiere episode on Thursday. The episode not only called out the company's $16 million lawsuit settlement with Trump over a 60 Minutes segment, but it also skewered the company's decision to cancel its late-night talk show The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Colorado State University Associate Professor of Film and Media Studies Nick Marx told Wired in an article published Thursday that he was refreshed by the way South Park went after Trump following the methods the ousted talk show host and others have used criticize the president. 'It's f---ing funny as hell that they seek to sexually humiliate Trump,' Marx told Wired, noting how Parker and Stone were going after the president's 'vanity and insecurity.' However, now that Parker and Stone went there with Trump, Marx told Wired that he's frustrated by how more comedians aren't doing the same. 'I think that is the card to play … and I am frustrated that more of the comedians that I love on the left haven't leaned into that really harsh attack of him,' Marx told Wired. SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA - JULY 24: (L-R) Matt Stone and Trey Parker speak onstage at Comedy Central ... More Adult Animation: "South Park", "Beavis & Butt-Head", and "Digman" Panel during 2025 Comic-Con International: San Diego at San Diego Convention Center on July 24, 2025 in San Diego, California. (Photo by) Trey Parker Briefly Addressed The White House Criticism At San Diego Comic Con While media outlets lauded the South Park Season 27 premiere episode, White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers slammed it in a statement to media outlets on Friday. '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,' Rogers said in the statement (via Variety). '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.' In his reaction by the White House during a San Diego Comic Con panel on Friday (via Deadline), Parker simply responded in a not-so-sincere manner, saying, 'We're terribly sorry.' In addition, Parker and Stone assured viewers that, in spite of the release of a promotional reel for Season 27 earlier this year, fans will still get topical episodes of South Park and none of them are pre-packaged. 'You seriously think we made a bunch of shows ahead of time and baked them for later? We're not doing any of that,' Parker exclaimed, to which Stone quipped, 'No politics. None of that s---.' South Park Season 27 is new on Comedy Central on cable and streaming on Paramount+.

Chris Stapleton's Rollicking And Powerful ‘Road Show' Makes A Stop In The Big Apple
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE - NOVEMBER 20: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY) Chris Stapleton performs onstage during The ... More 58th Annual CMA Awards at Bridgestone Arena on November 20, 2024 in Nashville, Tennessee (Photo by Astrida Valigorsky/WireImage) For two nights, New York City was briefly transformed into Music City U.S.A., when country singer-guitarist Chris Stapleton brought his ongoing All-American Road Show tour to Madison Square Garden showing once again what a generational talent he is. On Saturday, the second of a two-night sold-out stand at the Garden, Stapleton and his superb band performed an exhaustive set of favorites from his catalog. That included a good portion of songs from his 2015 breakthrough debut album Traveller, which recently marked its 10th anniversary. The current tour comes on the heels of Stapleton, a recipient of multiple awards, being named Male Artist of the Year at the 60th Annual ACM Awards for the fifth time this past May. What makes Stapleton's music so unique and compelling is that while he is country in the traditional sense, the musician also incorporates other influences such as blues, heartland rock, Southern rock and soul, all of which conjures legends such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton and Otis Redding. Additionally, his hard-bitten yet tender lyrics are quite relatable in the everyman vein of Bruce Springsteen and Bob Seger in addition to paying homage to the outlaw greats such as Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson. Chris Stapleton at New York City's Madison Square Garden on July 26, 2025. The diverse nature of Stapleton's country sound was evident at Saturday's show, which kicked off with the rock-soul hybrid 'Bad as I Used to Be,' his latest single that appears on the F1 movie soundtrack. Afterwards, it was one powerful performance after another during the two-hour set that varied between outlaw-styled rockers ('Devil Always Made Think Twice,' 'Hard Livin'' and 'Midnight Train to Memphis') and soulful ballads (among them 'It Takes a Woman' and 'What Am I Gonna Do,' both off his last studio album, 2023's Higher). Stapleton and the band were superb throughout the night, and the guitarist blew everybody away with his instrumental prowess, especially on 'I Was Wrong' and the gut-wrenching 'Cold,' and during his solo spotlight, where it was just him and his six-string on 'Maggie's Song' and 'Barely Alive.' His gritty, soulful vocals sent chills, particularly on the blues ballad 'Sometimes I Cry.' That quality in his distinctive singing made his songs, especially about heartbreak and love gone awry, so resonant and authentic. New York City is not generally known as a hub for country music. But the faithful in their cowboy hats were full force that Saturday night at the Garden (at times, they were singing the words to certain songs), while Stapleton effortlessly had the packed crowd under his spell. Chris Stapleton's All-American Road Show continues through October.

A historic merger in Denver's art scene: The Kirkland joins the Denver Art Museum
On Sunday, July 27, the Denver Art Museum (DAM) and the Kirkland Museum of Fine & Decorative Art commemorated their official merger with a vibrant Block Party celebration marking a new era of creativity, accessibility, and community engagement. The free, family-friendly event welcomed visitors with hands-on artmaking, music, food trucks, shopping, and open access to both museums. But beyond the festivities, the day symbolized something much bigger: the full integration of the Kirkland Museum into the DAM campus and programming. "This has been a really good exchange between the two groups," said Merle Chambers, Co-Founder of The Kirkland. "As a smaller museum, we didn't have everything we needed to make it better. Now we do." The merger brings with it more than 35,000 objects from the Kirkland's extensive collection, boosting DAM's permanent holdings by roughly 30%. Visitors who purchase a ticket to the Denver Art Museum can now access The Kirkland as well, breaking down cost and accessibility barriers for art lovers of all ages. That shift is already making an impact. Lauren Potter, who visited from Texas with her young son, said discovering the Kirkland during their summer trip to Denver was an unexpected highlight. "Where we are in Texas, not only are the arts kind of under attack, but they're almost nonexistent," she said. "It's a really neat thing to bring kids to the museum and have it be a friendly, accessible experience." The Kirkland now features greater accessibility for families, including improvements to accommodate small children, something it previously lacked. Potter said she appreciated how the newly integrated space invites kids into the creative world in a hands-on, welcoming way. "We pretended like we were shopping for our house," she laughed. "It's been so kid-friendly, especially for a kid who loves the arts."
