The creators of South Park have renamed the show “South America” in what appears to be a dig at US President Donald Trump’s interest in using the word “America” for geographic names.
The change was reported as the latest apparent reference to the president’s naming ambitions. Since beginning his second term, Trump has said he wanted to use the word “America” to rename a lake, a gulf and even a US state.
The title change links the animated comedy series to a broader debate over the president’s use of the term. The available information does not specify how long the renamed title will be used or whether it applies to the programme permanently.
South Park is known for its satirical approach, but no further details about the creators’ intentions or the specific material connected to the change were provided.
At this time, the reported renaming of the show is being presented as an apparent reference to Trump’s stated plans involving the word “America.” Further information about the change and its context was not available.
