\n\tNever get involved in a land war in Asia \u2014 and don\u2019t mess with the guys from South Park<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tNow the Trump Administration has gone and broken that second timeless rule, too. <\/p>\n

\n\tHomeland Security posted an image on X from Wednesday\u2019s upcoming episode that depicts an ICE raid along with a link to a recruitment site to join U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe official South Park X account shot back<\/a>: \u201cWait, so we ARE relevant? #eatabagofdicks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe comment refers to the White House\u2019s official statement that was issued in response to the show\u2019s scathing 27th season premiere last month, which claimed: \u201cJust like the creators of\u00a0South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. This show hasn\u2019t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier Tuesday, a promo for the new season\u2019s second episode coming Aug. 6 show a gaggle of masked armed men in black cars marked \u201cICE\u201d storming the streets.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe short preview (below) also shows that the hit<\/a> Comedy Central show\u2019s mocking of Donald Trump<\/a> will continue, with a shot of the president at a banquet with Satan. Trump rubs Satan\u2019s leg under the table and Beelzebub protests, \u201cStop.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAlso, Cartman is shown at what appears to be a town hall telling another character to \u201cshut up \u2014 because you hate Americans and love abortions.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe episode is titled \u201cGot A Nut\u201d and its official description is: \u201cWhen Mr. Mackay loses his job, he desperately tries to find a new way to make a living.\u201d In the preview, the character is shown in the back of an ICE raid truck.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe episode follows up the show\u2019s blockbuster 27th season return last month,<\/a> which delivered nearly 6 million cross-platform viewers and the largest audience share for the animated comedy in 25 years. The episode also received more social media posts than any other in the show\u2019s history.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tThe premiere went viral thanks to its no-holds-barred skewering of Trump<\/a>, which included showing an all-too-realistic AI depiction of the president wandering through the desert, stripping off his clothes and revealing a talking penis.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe mocking was all the more newsworthy<\/a> given parent company Paramount<\/a> Global\u2019s controversial moves to appease the Trump Administration while on the verge of closing its merger with Skydance<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Never get involved in a land war in Asia \u2014 and don\u2019t mess with the guys from South…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":62448,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[54],"tags":[12,88,26635,4208,3093,3094,4210,16821,26636,92],"class_list":{"0":"post-62447","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tv","8":"tag-donald-trump","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-matt-stone","11":"tag-paramount","12":"tag-paramount-global","13":"tag-skydance","14":"tag-south-park","15":"tag-thr-original-video","16":"tag-trey-parker","17":"tag-tv"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62447","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62447"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/62447\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62447"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=62447"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=62447"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
