South Park Creators Rebrand Show 'South America' in Apparent Trump Reference
The animated series' title change echoes President Trump's efforts to rename geographic locations using the word 'America,' according to a BBC News report.
The creators of the animated television series South Park have renamed the show "South America," in what BBC News described as an apparent reference to US President Donald Trump.
According to the report, the renaming coincides with actions taken by Trump since the start of his second term, during which he has sought to use the word "America" in renaming a lake, a gulf, and even a US state.
BBC News did not specify further details on the renaming decision by South Park's creators, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, or provide additional comment from them regarding the change.
The report placed the move within the context of Trump's broader pattern of proposing name changes tied to the word "America" during his current term in office.
