The 23rd season of South Park started back up again on Sept. 25, making audiences glad to be both a fan and to live in a country that allows satirical cartoons such as this to be aired.
The great thing about this show is that every episode is created within the span of six days, just so the creators can keep up with current events.
Just two episodes in and already, South Park is on point. From marijuana being corporatized, to corporations such as Disney and the NBA surrendering to the Chinese-government censors in order to gain access to Chinese viewers.
The season seems to have one continuous storyline following Randy Marsh, father of main character Stan, who has been up and coming on his weed farm “Tegridy” and business has been booming.
However, he wants to make more money selling his weed. So, he unknowingly begins to imitate big corporations here in the United States and tries to suppress the opposition by doing shady things.
He even tries to go to China get clearance from the Chinese government in order to get Chinese customers.
He goes as far as to strangle Winnie the Pooh for Disney, because in real life, some Chinese students began to poke fun at the current president, Xi Jinping, saying that he looked like the Winnie the Pooh character and have since banned the character from showing in any Chinese media.
Morey went on to apologize for his tweet.
The creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone made an official statement and made a mockery of the suspension saying:
This already has fans excited for the third episode of the season, which airs this Wednesday.
Promoting the idea that freedom is above money is an idea any can get behind, especially when it comes in the form of satire.
South Park is the show to watch.
