Current cartoon Phonomanon South Park’s 27th season has opened to massive worldwide success. Its biting political commentary and crude jokes make for one of the best received seasons of the show in recent years. The show’s creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, work on an insanely tight production schedule, 4-6 days from idea to final product. This allows the show’s gags to remain exceptionally relevant. Although the show’s unique style is adored by many, some do not see it the same way.

In response to the season 27 premiere “Sermon on the ‘Mount”’s controversial depiction of President Donald Trump in a relationship with Satan, White House Spokesperson Taylor Rogers released a public statement criticizing the show and its creators.

“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.

Taylor Rogers also went after criticizing the left’s reaction to the crude depictions of Donald Trump in the season’s premiere.

“The left’s hypocrisy truly has no end—for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as ‘offensive’ content, but suddenly they are praising the show,” Rogers said.

In response to her face falling off in the season 27 episode “Got a Nut” Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem called the show “so lazy to just constantly make fun of women for how they look.” Noem also called the show’s creators “liberals and extremists,” and “petty,” for making fun of her looks.

It is clear that the public’s opinion on South Park is quite divided. Whether it’s Taylor Rodgers defending her party or Kristi Noem defending her appearance, it’s clear to see the show has ruffled some feathers. South Park has always been a show about stirring controversy, and it’s clear that that shtick still sticks.
