The team behind “South Park” on Tuesday sent an unfiltered message to Homeland Security after the agency used a screenshot of the show to recruit agents for ICE: Eat a bag of dicks.
Since it was on X, they did it with a hashtag: ”#eatabagofdicks.”
South Park mocked President Donald Trump in its season premiere last month ― first with a cartoon Trump in bed with Satan, then later with a very realistic Trump tearing off his clothing in the desert to reveal a “teeny tiny” talking penis.
The Trump White House threw a fit over the episode, with a spokesperson complaining that the show “hasn’t been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas.”
But with Homeland Security now using “South Park” to promote itself, the team behind the show fired back on X:
This week’s episode, airing on Wednesday, will focus on Mr. Mackey trying to join ICE after losing his job. A video trailer released last week features the image taken and used by ICE, likely without permission.
“We want to thank South Park for drawing attention to ICE law enforcement recruitment,” a spokesperson for the agency told Newsweek.
The trailer also shows Trump, once again with Satan ― this time at a dinner, but trying to feel him up under the table.
“Stop!” Satan says, and pushes the animated Trump’s hand away.
“South Park” also released some new screenshots of the episode:
