It's not fake news: "South Park" has scored a ratings win with its controversial Season 27 episode that skewered President Donald Trump.

Paramount Global reports that the Comedy Central show had its biggest season premiere since 1999, with viewership up 68% from the previous season's premiere. The episode, titled "Sermon on the Mount," was the top show across cable on July 23. The episode reached nearly 6 million cross-platform viewers across Paramount+ and Comedy Central in the three days after it aired, according to Paramount Global.

The series skyrocketed to the top of JustWatch’s U.S. TV streaming charts with a 638% increase in streaming popularity in the U.S., and a 258% surge globally, compared to last season’s debut, based on streaming clickouts and onsite activity.

The satirical episode showed Trump cuddling in bed with Satan, referencing the president's association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The viral episode earned the attention and the ire of the White House. Spokesperson Taylor Rogers said in a statement to USA TODAY that "South Park" "hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention."

'South Park' will again parody President Trump in the next episode

The satire isn't over. The Comedy Central show released a trailer for its next episode (airing Aug. 6), which suggests the series will continue mocking Trump.

The 20-second teaser includes a shot of Trump attending a dinner, where he is sitting at a table with Satan. As a speaker is heard talking about honoring Trump's courage, the president rubs Satan's leg under the table. Satan tells him to stop.

The phrase 'Streisand Effect' will now need to be redefined.
Parker & Stone satirized Streisand in South Park too. GW Bush has as well, among other instances of such. But he never reacted to any of it, simply taking it on the chin like a man.
Congratulations Trumpy, you've admitted to the world that you're nothing more than a membrane-thin skinned snowflake.

'Stuart Heritage from The Guardian called the episode a "grand dare" from Matt Stone as well as Parker for Trump to sue them. He added that "Considering that South Park has always been known for its unvarnished satire, and for an extraordinarily responsive production process that allows it to comment on events almost until the moment of broadcast, the first episode of its 27th season always had the potential to sting. And since that first episode – entitled Sermon on the 'Mount – is a scorching critique of both Paramount's cowardice and Trump's eagerness to ride roughshod over his own voters, sting it does." Rolling Stone writer Alan Sepinwall lauded the episode's scathing critique of the American president, writing "At precarious moments like this, certain things need to be said out loud, even if they're being packaged with juvenile dick jokes. When so many of their peers are too scared to offer even a mealy-mouthed version of criticism, Parker, Stone, and South Park just went for it."'
Trey and Matt are basically saying to Trump "Sue Us". If he does, Trump will be humiliated as a manbaby that can't take a joke. If Trump doesn't, it proves to the world he's weak. But either way, he's fucked. And either way, Trey & Stone win. But then, they already have.
UK's newspapers/satirical magazines such as Private Eye have political cartoons, some of which are extremely brutal against politicians. But do you know who are some of the biggest collectors of the original art? The politicians themselves.

When they go after the genocide and who is doing it then I'll respect them, maybe. Until then they're just shills for ZOG.
