Because of the goddamn billionaires that are building data centers right in our backyards,\u201d yelled Butters. \u201cAll these little weenie billionaires do is suck up all our resources and leave us with nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tButters\u2019 parents, on the other hand, begin to fight over their child\u2019s anti-billionaire and anti-AI beliefs, which they decide must be the result of the measles vaccine Butters got in order to attend school. \u201cI knew what that vaccination would do to him because I listened to podcasts,\u201d yelled his dad. \u201cBut you couldn\u2019t take time out of your precious day to listen to podcasts, could you? And now your son is a libtard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAs it turns out, the weenie billionaires in Butters\u2019 backyard are exactly that: weenies. But tensions are rising in their own town as some of the billionaires are being too public, including by appearing on Joe Rogan\u2019s podcast. \u201cNow that we are growing so rapidly, we must be careful,\u201d said the leader of the weenies. \u201cThere are so many of us billionaires now; we might be starting to annoy people. That\u2019s why I talked before about the importance of not drawing attention to ourselves.\u201d When Butters calls an exterminator to get rid of the billionaire town and their data center, he explains, \u201cThis is some new strain of billionaire. They like to go on podcasts and get into public arguments with Mark Ruffalo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAs Butters continues to try to rally the town against the billionaires, the weenies must take matters into their own hands by buying the local news media to stabilize their public enemy, \u201cas any good billionaire should.\u201d \u201cBut now, can someone tell me who went out and got in a public argument with Macklemore? God damn it, we had it figured out,\u201d said the lead weenie. \u201cI bought the news so we can make us seem nicer, and then some little penis decided Macklemore needed a good talking to\u2026 Nobody cares what you think about Macklemore.\u201d (The comment was a jab at <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/robert-kraft\/\" id=\"auto-tag_robert-kraft\" data-tag=\"robert-kraft\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Robert Kraft<\/a>, the billionaire New England Patriots owner who made headlines earlier this month for what amounted to a ban on the rapper from performing at a number of stadiums while on tour with Ed Sheeran.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tIt wouldn\u2019t be an episode of \u201cSouth Park\u201d without a <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/t\/trump\/\" id=\"auto-tag_trump\" data-tag=\"trump\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump<\/a> appearance, and sure enough, the audience got a glimpse of the president at the very end. As he sits down to go to the bathroom (while listening to his own speeches), his very own billionaire weenie flies out of his unzipped pants.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tFollowing the second episode\u2019s debut, it appears that creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone are going full steam ahead with the \u201cSouth America\u201d name change, which was announced earlier this month ahead of the Season 29 premiere.
