    yet another falls.............South Park creator says cartoon will lay off Trump, doe

    South Park creator says cartoon will lay off Trump, doesn’t want to be taken less seriously than CNN
    by Sam Rolley

    South Park, the grown-up cartoon entering its 20th year this season, is going to lay off the Donald Trump jokes. The show’s creator said he made the decision to avoid ending up like CNN, a news network that has sacrificed content for ratings garnered from round-the-clock focus on all manner of Trump controversy.
    South Park creator Trey Parker revealed the show’s directional change in a recent Los Angeles Times interview promoting his new movie Despicable Me 3.
    After going full-on political in its last season, Parker says that South Park needs new direction to avoid becoming a dumping ground for Trump jokes.The show, he insisted, was never meant to be so political.
    From the interview:
    We did start to become that, though, especially the last season. We fell into the same trap that “Saturday Night Live” fell into, where it was like, “Dude, we’re just becoming CNN now. We’re becoming: ‘Tune in to see what we’re going to say about Trump.’ ” Matt and I hated it but we got stuck in it somehow.
    This season I want to get back to Cartman dressing up like a robot and [screwing] with Butters, because to me that’s the bread and butter of “South Park”: kids being kids and being ridiculous and outrageous but not “did you see what Trump did last night?” Because I don’t give a … anymore.
    We probably could put up billboards — “Look what we’re going to do to Trump next week!” — and get crazy ratings. But I just don’t care.
    Parker also pointed out something that anti-Trump media personalities and comedians don’t seem to grasp: a lot of the time, the president’s antics are calculated.
    The rest here:

    They see CNN fall. They don't want to be part of that mess....smart, I'd say

    There's always gotta be a bogeyman. They failed at making us gay people into monsters, so they had to find something else.

    I gotta admit, it turned me off this past year. I wasn't offended, some of it was funny, but when I wanna hear about politics I'll turn on the news or come here. I watch south park for the entertainment, not to be propagandized. I wish more in TV land would take their lead and get back to entertaining.
