Is 'South Park' Trump-Proof?
from Cannonball with Wesley Morris · host The New York Times
This season, “South Park” is taking on the Trump administration the only way it knows how: with stop-motion, expletives and jokes about the size of the president’s penis. But how is the show getting away with it? Wesley Morris and the comedian Wyatt Cenac discuss the special sauce that is allowing "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone to survive the political pressure that’s come for their comedy peers. At least for now. Thoughts?
