Wtf is that list, the white pages? So many numbers
If only our elected leaders had the balls of these comedy writers
True beyond belief!!
Clearly it’s “child sized”
Ooph, that is both an incredibly subtle but also amazingly scathing burn. Some real murdered by words content there. I love how this works in multiple contexts at once.
I aim to please.
The person who posted this reply is a fucking genius.
The voice Is also hilarious
The same voice as Saddam Hussein from previous seasons. lol
It Is!? XD
Trump's voice in the episode? It's the Saddam Hussein voice from the movie
Geniouses
It's why Satan said Trump reminded him of his ex. Well, that and all the other similarities
Yeah cause his ex was Saddam
Yeah cause Saddam was his ex
You Democrats are SO DISGUSTING people PENISES on TV!
-People calling Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell HEROES!
Also from the article:
Way to bury the lede. "Liberterians with buyers remorse draw animated prick on animated prick. Oh btw there's an official from minitrue effectively in charge of what can be shown on one of the 3-4 major American broadcast networks. "
I do think there should be a conversation about how South Park did normalize a lot of fucked up shit. I think it is entirely reasonable to argue that it normalized antisemitism and queer phobia in some ways - it taught a lot of twelve year olds that calling someone a “Jew” or a “fagg~t” was inherently funny.
Sorta like how on /b/ - the racism and homophobia was mostly joking originally (I’m talking like pre-2010). Taking it seriously/too far would get mocked. But:
I love South Park, but their episode on trans people was just shitty and dehumanizing, and it gave people permission to parrot that kind of rhetoric. There’s a difference between being edgy and offensive, and saying the kinds of things that end up actually getting people hurt. South Park has always been at its best when it punched up (as in this episode).
The whole sentiment of "we need to control what people say so we can control how people think" is the reason why a lot of people dislike the left.
Also I don't think they did the things you're accusing them of. The antisemitism is said by Cartman who is not meant to be a role model, he's a miserable little shit nobody likes. The Jewish kid is portrayed as normal and a good guy. There are two kids that constantly say "huh huh, that's gay" but they are clearly displayed as complete dumbasses.
But now the "control what people are saying" sentiment is coming from the right, and so the PC Principle character who used to bully people with political correctness is the "Power of Christ" Principle and he's bullying people about conforming to Christian values.
Seems South Park is just in opposition to anyone that tries to tell them what they should do. Before it was the left (which didn't work out very well did it?) but now it's the right. Thinking you're going to change how people think by controlling what they see just doesn't work, which I think by now has been proven.
Thank you for representing the thoughts, feelings and opinions of all Jewish/homosexual/Jewish homosexual people everywhere.
Next thing you know, Joe Wilkinson will be giving them unique names.
Hanging about in a train station toilets naming people's penises (Poem by Joe Wilkinspn)
The relevant part starts at 1:11.
This was the best part of my week, other than that miso wild rice soup I made. I also got to try my 🏴☠️ 🎩 back on.
It’s higher moral ground than giving money to Paramount
Yup. The creators just made a $1.5 billion deal for streaming rights. I wouldn't worry about it.
Jellyfin is awesome
Good for watching downloaded media. Sonarr, Radarr and maybe Prowlarr to get the media in the first place.
From scratch? I'm looking into some miso paste, so I can make my own miso soup
Pixelating it would have made it bigger...
It’s gonna be a long list on what they sue them for, snicker. It’s baaaaad.
You can watch the end of the episode on HeTrumpedUs.com, I don't think the article gives it enough credit for the thing they pulled.
I would have never guessed they get this aired, they are really not giving any fucks.
I will admit they give no fucks when they criticise Israel's genocide. Until then, they are playing it safe. Trump doesn't care what the left says about him, this won't reach enough of his voting base to matter. They control their narrative.
I forsee a "school shootings" style acknowledgement where throughout the season they will just have a constant stream of children being bombed in the background while the episodes are going and finally do an episode where someone is actually acknowledging the genocide and thinks they're overreacting about it because nobody else cares about the children being exploded in town
Good news: they didn’t show a penis. It’s animation. None of it is real.
Did you watch it, it really wasn't animated. They also showed the cartoon one multiple times.
You can watch the end of the episode on HeTrumpedUs.com (linked in the episode also)
The ai penis wasn’t blurred out…
And it talks!
Good. Free speech has no meaning unless actually put into practice.
South Park already showed Saddam Hussein’s penis in all its glory.
Think about it:
This is TOTAL DISCRIMINATION
The point is FAIRNESS. If one guy’s junk gets airtime, then THE DONALD’S deserves a prime-time show!
This isn’t just TV—it’s about AMERICAN VALUES.
That was a movie, though. There are different standards on cable.
There are standards on cable?
They're largely self imposed. But yeah. For instance breaking bad a limit of 3 "fuck"smper season and sometimes they're still bleeped depending on what time of day you're watching it
Not if your studio can afford the fees
Relax, guy!
I wonder if every episode will just be shitting on Trump?
I kind of hope so. Just grind his gears and chip away at his fragile fucking ego.
It really would be something. Just a fucking relentless onslaught of obscene caricature and vile innuendo, the occasional blatant reference to proven, or at least previously litigated facts that are more offensive than anything Matt and Trey could invent. They could fuck him up in the public eye, like waaaaaaay worse than this.
I doubt it, they set up a bunch of storylines. The episode is barely about Trump, most of it is how we're responding to this new reality
Parker and Stone have always been counter culture centrists... But from global warming to increasingly obvious political shifts, they just had nothing to say and seemed to realize maybe they're not as smart as they thought
They didn't talk about Trump 45 or MAGA much because they want to cynically sit back and make fun of wokeness and caricature bigots. They want Cartman to be a source of shock value, and they want Stan to be their honest take of an honest person trying their best to make sense of the world
But now people are identifying with Cartman openly. The episode was not subtle about that. Things have gotten out of control... Stan's arc was about Jesus being forced down his throat, he doesn't really have a problem with Jesus, he's just really weirded out.
The Trump bait was supposedly added late in production based on Paramount firing Colbert, they signed a $1.5 billion deal with paramount two days before airing and they want to blow up the merger. They didn't like how skydance leadership was already pressuring them, and they don't like the idea of censorship in general... That all was a fuck you, I dare you to cancel us now that real money is on the line
Trump will definitely be a backdrop, but they've finally found something they want to say. And there's just not much to say about Trump...What, are you going to call him a pedo? Are you going to say he smells? Are you going to say he's cheating at golf while his handlers do an ethnic cleansing?
There's just no room for satire with Trump, and I don't think they can bait a reaction much harder than they did this episode
It'll pivot to Vance and Thiel once Trump is gone.
They'll introduce a new magical character, Mr Couchy.
You could be the first person to predict this and when it happens, I’ll tell people I was there.
Omg, Lemmy reply too so I'll be in the pic when someone screenshots my og comment as prophecy!
But yeah, unfortunately the famous DSC (Mrs Dirty Slutty Couch, a character with a southern accent, over the top sexed up, vary easy to s sit on) that was later featured in two movies won't come to prominence until late 20s (at the time making satire and social comment of the third coup of the year, this time prompted by Vance appointing a literal couch as 'head of congress', a bold move after already introducing to the media The First Couch that lives in the White House).
No, def not every imho (they never had long arcs & joke repetition was only in the early episodes iirc), they are doing however an arc & the new romantic couple will def be features more.
So 3 to 5 more episodes of this I would say? Tho they could conclude it all next episode too & later only have background references.
(The ez material is def there.)
I actually missed/expected a few more jokes (I had high hopes bcs this is the new Saddam - I've seen the image with Satan & I was hyped moments before watching the episode) & even more plot, but it seems they only generally set up the new situation & chars in the first episode.
Also it was fairly light (no directly dark stuff), that I thought was automatic with Trump.
It would be nice if they hit Schumer and the rest of the useless, elderly democrats too. If there ever is another free and fair election, the democrats aren't going to win if they're represented by spineless, status quo reps who never want to try anything new, and insist on playing by the rules. So, a little humiliation would be good to encourage people to primary them.
What even ARE the products in these ads??? (Clicking just sends me to Temu)
Why are you using a Lemmy client with ads?
Take this, it's open source and platform agnostic https://getvoyager.app/
Does lemmy even have ads or are they served by the whoever developed the app?
The latter
Why are you getting adds on Lemmy?!
1/3 appears to be an eyeliner stencil. 4 and 6 are clothing. 5 is glass orbs full of low-freezing-point liquid so they stay liquid in a freezer but have high thermal mass. They are used in some woowoo skincare routines to cool skin.
2 is very weird. It's an index finger that appears to be covered in glitter and tiny orbs.
Because they are using a client that injects ads into its feed.
I believe Boost does that
I have the opinion that the asshole who chose the images, intentionally chose 6 even if it's "unrelated" because it has a X and at a first glance people might click it thinking it's a button to close the ad
And they cropped the finger to make it look an erect penis, to get clicks
2 looks like a finger with a "fresh" tattoo to me. That's what they look like immediately after they are done. Kind of swollen, and they are usually covered something. Probably to make sure it heals properly. I'm not an expert though.
It did to me too until I zoomed in.
My wife thinks it is beads using a finger for scale. The glitter effect on the finger is likely fresh adhesive sticking them there.
What the fuck is an ad doing in open source software?
Yall mfs got ads on your lemmy?
Left to right:
It's so teeny tiny though, it should be fine.
Whilst Trump hates this every American citizen not enjoying the (unblurred) presidential pp & would want it blurred is now at risk of deportation.
\s (hopefully)
They really should have also given him small hands.
and he hasn't been that slim since high school.
Unfortunately they didn't host the video themselves so YouTube age restricted it, not viewable for me.
Screw it, I've got time.
Made ya a mirror:
<removed>
So far the only thing they haven't been allowed to show is an image of the prophet Muhammad.
They did that in "super best friends"
False
The 2nd time
I mean technically a “penis” that small isn’t a penis. So there’s nothing to blur out. Also let’s think business like Trump supposedly does, why would you spend time and resources on something so small? Not worth the cost. We need to conserve time and money.
Weird to just throw body shaming in here for no real reason, lol.
The only thing conservatives are conservative about is showing empathy for anyone outside of the cookie-cutter ideal American that only exists in their very odd and often times homo erotic dreams.
Sometimes you have to be a little bit nauthty.
They should of made it go poof like Cartman’s.
