The South Park season 27 has chosen the biggest fight of the show-what’s going on now?

A few hours before the first in season 27 of Trey Parker and “South Park” by Matt Stone, they finally signed an $ 1.5 billion agreement with Paramount in the middle of the “S *** show” of a merger between the inherited studio and Skydance Media. The new contract extends the relation of Paramount with South Park Studios for five years, guaranteeing 50 new episodes of the program for Comedy Central, as well as obtaining the library of the 26 previous seasons for Paramount +. To celebrate, they published “Sermon on the” Mount “, an episode where they practically beg the president twice and charged the criminal Donald Trump to pursue them, using Jesus Christ himself to comment on the trial of CBS with Trump and the subsequent cancellation of” the end of the late show with Stepphen Colbert “, and the retraction of the abject horror” Get them “to press them to sleep a clock in one which is merged into a bomb on the point of leaving.

Trump is obviously very unhappy with the episode. Less than 24 hours earlier, the president took the time to direct the country to draw angry messages on his account of verification on Joy Behar after affirming “The View” that he was jealous of the eyes of former President Barack Obama, and it was just a comment of passage. This is an entire episode filled with naked, raw and hilarious representations of the commander -in -chief, including a fake deep with a speaking micropenis (with its own website). In order for the Paramount / Skydance merger to take place, companies needed the approval of the Federal Commission for Trump Communications (FCC), and many speculated (me including) which acts as the payment of the underlying trial against CBS, the dismissal of Colbert, and announcing that they were putting an end to Dei’s initiatives were all in order to appease Trump to win his approval.

The FCC gave its approval to the merger the day after the broadcast of the episode, apparently proving that the capitulation of oppressors who wish to tighten the restrictions on the media is the only way to get what you want. Or if we want to look at this even more cynically, these institutions do exactly what they always wanted to do and now use the “Trump pressure” as a scapegoat. Anyway, it’s pathetic.

As the first in season 27 rightly points out when Cartman cries the fact that “Woke is dead” and the fanatics feel comfortable getting rid of their nonsense proudly and openly, America begins to feel beyond satire. Fortunately, “South Park” still has a lot to say as long as the Americans are ready to listen to. The show has been our biggest Rorschach cultural test for over 25 years, and even if I will never simplify for the rich extravagant, the fact that they have drawn this movement immediately After catching an agreement of $ 1.5 billion is so impious hilarious that it feels directly outside an episode of “South Park”. “This program has not been relevant for more than 20 years and has been hung by a thread with ideas without inspiration in a desperate attempt at attention,” read a White House declaration. “President Trump has held more promises in just six months than any other president of the history of our country – and no fourth -order program can derail the hot sequence of President Trump.” A “fourth row” show? I am sure that Parker and Stone will cry on this sick burn while they sign all the documents and deposit this billion dollars check. Despite the often repeated line on social networks, the satire is not dead, and “South Park” refusing to firm it is proof.

To satiate America (and especially its political leaders) requires confidence, bravery and understanding that, no matter how much you make your comedy, there will always be people who terribly ignore your message, and you constantly run the risk of being censored. Whatever the person staff The feelings about “South Park” or Parker and Stone as a creative duo, which they did by freeing “Sermon on the” Mount “was daring as hell. The emperor does not have clothes, and they will not all let us be slipped into thought of the contrary. It is just ridiculous that no one else is ready to swing for fences as they have.

The president of the FCC appointed by Trump, Brendan Carr, pushed hard Against the alleged “media biases”, focused mainly on news. However, it would be stupid to believe that this accusation of “media biases” will begin and stop with reports and will not extend to other programs broadcast in the masses. Parker and Stone were obviously aware that this episode could mark the end of “South Park”, adding a secondary intrigue of suicide between Butters (Stone) and Cartman (Parker) which serves as metatextual recognition if the spectacle will die, it will be in hand and anyone else.

And of course, there will be many whips in hand and miss the mouth on the way they chose Lampoon, President Trump, and many pearls on the way he was juvenile of the shame of the body and comparing him to Saddam Hussein instead of criticizing him for his policy or his opinions. Journalists and political experts have spent years calling Trump a racist, fascist and legally responsible sexual attacker, and it did Nothing. The man sells goods with his mugshot on it, for having shouted aloud. You can’t be ashamed of someone for something he doesn’t feel ashamed. To blur in a way that In fact gets through it, they had to speak the language of the oppressor and arm his own toxic feelings and opinions against him. But by not playing well, we don’t know what reprisals will be. By essentially noting the president and his own parent company, “South Park” threw the perfect trap, where punishing them would demand that the reprisals party is said to be his actions.

Whether you find what Parker and Stone said in this funny episode (or any episode), appropriate or in good taste, because they express their rights to the first amendment to freedom of expression. Satirialists, actors, journalists and academics are among the most obvious objectives of fascist regimes. Because in its strongest and most effective form, satire addresses hard truths and truth is the enemy of those in power. As ridiculous as it may seem, the future of “South Park” will serve as herald for the future of all of us.

Maybe we will really be beyond satire.
