The most recent South Park episode, featuring a naked Donald Trump, may have violated the law.

    While this article is technically correct on some things, it’s somewhat missing the entire point of what Matt and Trey did very intentionally. They want Trump to try and sue them.

    Trump has inappropriately promoted and used various AI depictions of some seriously fucked up shit, and therefore would immediately lose in court if trying to sure based on the existing laws. In fact, they never showed Trump’s dick. They just alluded to it being his dick…with AI.

    I would FUCKING LOVE for Trump to try and sue them, because Matt and Trey will make it the circus it deserves to be, get some amazing stuff in discovery, and they can fucking afford not only defending themselves and their content from frivolous lawsuits, but then countersue and fuck Trump and all of his cronies up when it comes out who has been pulling the strings with the absolutely batshit insane stuff that gets posted on his accounts, and government accounts being misused in an official capacity to push dogshit.

    I look forward to this with a shwaybone.

      Yeah, that makes zero sense.

      1. The Supreme Court has ruled that the President can’t be charged from crimes committed while in office. That’s why he’s walking free today instead of rotting in a fucking jail cell where he belongs.

      2. The commission of a crime does not suddenly excuse everyone else from committing said crime.

      Matt and Trey really don’t give a fuck. They tried to show Muhammed in multiple cartoons, and when the network vociferously shouted them down about it (because it might get them killed or their offices attacked), they snuck him in anyway in multiple places and just didn’t tell anyone. When one of the foundational members of their cast didn’t want them to trash Scientology, they trashed it ten times harder and told him not to let the door hit him on the ass on the way out. They made out with each other for a long time in “Baseketball.”

      However valuable or not you feel like their message / their humor is, they are among the very few voices in mainstream media who are simply unafraid and doing their own thing, completely without reservation.

    The fucker put out an AI generated video of Obama being arrested in the Oval Office. There’s no standing.
