The Four Color Media Monitor

Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.


South Park cartoon comes out as anti-conservative

And also anti-Trump. Breitbart reports the veteran political satire cartoon on cable TV has crossed the line of grossness, all for the sake of attacking Donald Trump in the most repellent ways possible:
South Park chiefs Trey Parker and Matt Stone ripped Donald Trump and railed about their streaming partners Paramount, especially over their depiction of the president’s private parts.

When asked if they got any complaints over content from Paramount during their visit to the San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, the pair went off on the streamer concerning their recent anti-Trump episode, according to Variety.

“It’s always like, ‘So we love the episode,’ but that’s what happened. They’re like, ‘OK, but we’re gonna blur the penis.’ And I’m like, ‘No, you’re not gonna blur the penis,'” Parker told the Comic-Con audience.

“We put eyes on the penis,” Stone quipped, to the crowd’s delight.

Parker added that once they put little eyes on the penis, they weren’t going to blur it. “And then that was a whole conversation for about four fucking days. It’s a character,” he added.

The recent episode featured a cartoon Trump begging for sex with Satan — making him a revival of their Saddam Hussein parody — only to be refused because his penis is too small. The episode also featured an AI-generated faux public service announcement depicting Trump crawling naked in a desert.
It's pretty apparent the SDCC's not a great place to visit. It should be remembered the creators/producers of South Park caved on the topic of the Danish Mohammed cartoons by contrast in past years, yet this they're willing to go through with full force. With by far the biggest oxymoron being that earlier, they allegedly wanted to refrain from making jokes at Trump's expense. Was that all a ruse to throw the couch potato audience off course to what they were really up to?

The White House panned the cartoon's crude "parody" a few days ago:
“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,” spokesperson Taylor Rogers said.

“President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country’s history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump’s hot streak.”
Much like the Simpsons, it has been on the air far too long, in a stupefying example of certain productions remaining for possible political/ideological reasons, and that's not good. I grew tired of the Simpsons back in the mid-2000s, and haven't looked back since. Let's also recall the Simpsons has its own share of one-sided attacks on conservative figures, so pointless that it just makes clear why it's better to turn off the TV set. The same goes for South Park. Especially if they're no longer willing to lampoon liberal politics, or even address issues like the aforementioned Danish caricatures.

    Speaking of the Simpsons and political statements from long-overexposed franchises, Matt Groening sunk to a new low lately. In fact, MULTIPLE new lows, per San Diego Comic Con:

    Not only did he gleefully predict a possible assassination attempt at Trump and Musk, as well as dancing on streets, he even insulted his fans over an AI generated image regarding two "dumb white people" teaming up.

    The above comment was made by me, BTW.

    Thanks. This is why I'm glad I long lost interest in the Simpsons, as it went increasingly downhill after the turn of the century, and I'm left wondering if it was ever worth watching even before that.

    Trump is the most unpopular president in the history of public opinion polling, so dancing in the street is within the reasonable bounds of satire. And he has boasted about the size of his, er, fingers a lot, and made crude remarks about the size of Arnold Palmer's putter - so joking about that on South Park should not be out of bounds. Like the song there says, "his penis may be teeny-tiny but his love for us is large.!"

    You do realize most of those pollsters were from extremely biased sources, right?

    No I made it

    No - even Rasmussen Polling, a company that always skews Republican, has it that the majority of people disapprove of him.The mainstream pollsters show him even further underwater. No one shows him being liked.
