South Park Creators Scathing Statement On Delays By Paramount / Skydance Merger

-

HOLLYWOOD — In classic South Park fashion, creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone just dropped a more blunt bombshell than Cartman’s farts: Paramount Global’s pending merger with Skydance Media has turned out to be a monumental “s–tshow,” and it’s royally “f–king up South Park.” 

Their fury comes hot on the heels of Comedy Central’s announcement that Season 27’s premiere has been bumped from July 9 to July 23, prompting Parker and Stone to issue their own scathing press release.

“In response to the press release from Comedy Central about the change in premiere date for South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone said: ‘This merger is a s–tshow and it’s f–king up South Park. We are at the studio working on new episodes and we hope the fans get to see them somehow.’”

Merger Mayhem
So, what’s behind this corporate dumpster fire? 

Paramount Global (Comedy Central’s parent) is in the throes of marrying Skydance Media—a union so awkward even Victoria ain’t invited. 

The deal, expected to close on July 6 (but possibly extended, because nothing says “efficiency” like dragging out a mega‑merger), promises to combine everything from James Bond to Tom Cruise reboots with the network that airs Cartman’s most offensive one‑liners.

Streaming Splitsville
Adding insult to injury, South Park’s $500 million exclusive streaming deal with HBO Max just expired. 

No replacement deal with HBO Max, Netflix, or—dare we dream—Disney+ has materialized. 

Cue Parker and Stone threatening legal action, accusing incoming Paramount president Jeff Shell of meddling in their Warner Bros. Discovery and Netflix negotiations. 

It’s a classic “The biggest battle in Hollywood is over who gets to host the kiddie pool,” except here the kiddie pool contains bathroom humor and sentient feces mascots.

What to Expect When You Finally Watch
When Season 27 does blast off on July 23, expect South Park to skewer current events harder than Randy Marsh at a pot farm. 

The official trailer teases:

  • Los Angeles on Fire: The town of South Park set ablaze, a nod to the real wildfires that charred L.A.—because who doesn’t love a little self‑immolation satire?

  • French Freedom Fighters: Beret‑clad Frenchmen reclaiming Lady Liberty, riffing on actual French requests for the U.S. to ship the Statue of Liberty back home. Vive la France!

  • Butters’ Stress Test: Poor Butters, now an air‑traffic controller, struggling to prevent the world’s clumsiest mid‑air collisions. Buckle up, Butterball.

  • Cartman’s Labor Unit: Cartman in a delivery room with a woman in labor—abortion rights and hospital hijinks incoming.

  • Kyle’s Poultry Pandemic: Kyle crowing like a turkey, hinting at a bird‑flu outbreak that’s plucking at everyone’s fondness for Thanksgiving.

  • Diddy’s Return: And yes, there will be a Diddy episode, because no season is complete without childhood trauma about that awkwardly named rapper (sorry, Sean Combs).

Hold onto Your Tokens
So as we eagerly await the return of our favorite crudely drawn Colorado kiddos, let’s raise a virtual glass of Tegridy Farms weed oil to Parker and Stone. 

They’re grinding through corporate chaos so we can keep watching Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny remind us why we still love TV. 

Just don’t mention “Bob Iger” or “Bob Chapek” at the Comedy Central offices—things might get even more explosive than a Terrance & Phillip debate!

Please Help Find These Forgotten Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year!

  MY MOST IMPORTANT STORY  Dozens of Forgotten Little Girls Held at Male Juvenile Prison for Over a Year! Welcome to the Sunshine State, where the palm trees sway, the alligators lurk, and the legislative process makes Kafka look like a life coach!  Florida House Bill HB21. Not just a compensation bill but possibly a 20 million dollar "Stay out of Jail Free" card for some folks. This is a bill that does some good—but also trips over its own shoelaces, falls down a staircase, and lands on a historical oversight so big, it might as well have its own zip code! An oversight that overlooks what I consider to be its most vulnerable victims! The Setup: Justice with a Catch HB21 was enacted on July 1, 2024 to compensate victims of abuse from two male juvenile detention facilities located in Florida, Dozier and Okeechobee.  It says, “Hey, survivors of abuse between 1940 and 1975, here’s some compensation for the horrific things you endured!” Sounds good, right? Like a ...

Here's A New HOA Rule Dictating What You Can Do Inside Your Home

HOA Overreach: When Your Own Home Isn’t Really Your Own The joys of homeownership—the American dream!  That magical place where you can paint the walls any color you like, blast your music (within reason), and enjoy the simple pleasure of—wait, never mind..... Turns out, your HOA might have something to say about what you do inside your own four walls. Case in point: A longtime homeowner, who has peacefully lived in his residence for 25 years, was blindsided when his HOA suddenly banned smoking inside individual homes.  That’s right—after a quarter-century of no issues, he was informed that lighting up indoors was no longer an option.  The new rule, passed at the HOA’s annual meeting by a majority vote, now restricts smoking to a designated outdoor area. Now, while some might see this as a health-conscious decision, the homeowner—whose wife is a smoker—sees it as an unfair overreach.  In a letter to a local publication, he expressed frustration, writing, “I’ve live...

Postal Police Stuck Behind ‘Keep Out’ Signs While Mailmen Face Muggers: You Can’t Make This Stuff Up!!

As crime against letter carriers surges, one would think that America’s armed, uniformed Postal Police might be hitting the streets to protect our mail.  Instead, they’re still glued to their post office entrances like sentries guarding Fort Frownmore.  Why?  Because since 2020, the Postmaster General decreed they must “protect postal property” only—meaning, they currently serve as glorified lobby bouncers rather than actual roaming guardians of the mailstream. “ They’re robbing letter carriers, they’re sticking a gun in a letter carrier’s face and they’re demanding arrow keys, ” laments Frank Albergo , president of the National Postal Police Union and a Postal Police Officer himself.  An "arrow key" in the context of the Post Office is a specialized, universal key that postal workers use to access various locked mail receptacles, including collection boxes, apartment mailboxes, and cluster boxes. Albergo isn’t exaggerating—research shows over 100 physical assaul...
