Less than 24 hours after angering the White House by portraying Donald Trump with a micropenis and cuddling Satan, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone appeared at a Comic-Con panel on Thursday night. When asked if they anticipated the backlash, Parker offered a deadpan apology: “We’re terribly sorry.”
During the panel, Parker also revealed that Comedy Central asked the duo to censor Trump’s micropenis — but they refused.
For its part, the White House says 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.” Not that Parker and Stone should care — they just signed a $1.5 billion distribution deal with Paramount, one of the most lucrative agreements in television history.
Read our review of South Park’s season 27 premiered, which Liz Shannon Miller lauded as a sharp, fearless episode of political satire arriving at a time when the show’s own network is bending the knee to the Trump Administration.
