South Park creators rename show 'South America' in apparent dig at Trump
Since beginning his second term, the US president has said he wanted to use the word 'America' to rename a lake, a gulf and even a US state.
The creators of South Park, the animated TV show, have announced that its new series will be named South America, in an apparent reference to US President Donald Trump's attempts to rename a lake and a gulf.
"Inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, we are changing the name of South Park to SOUTH AMERICA," creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker wrote in a statement.
Trump signed an executive order in August to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America, and last year declared that the Gulf of Mexico be known as the Gulf of America.
But the merger has since been paused until June 2027, after 12 US states filed lawsuits against the deal for fear of it harming competition and leading to higher prices for consumers.
