ICE Is Already Using Tomorrow’s ‘South Park’ Episode As A Recruitment Tool

Just two weeks after the White House officially announced that South Park was a desperate, irrelevant and “fourth-rate” comedy series, President Donald “Saddam Hussein” Trump's personal gestapo are launching a recruitment campaign using nothing but a South Park trailer.

Back on July 23rd, South Park Season 27 premiered two weeks late with a scathing indictment of the President and their bosses at Paramount who recently emboldened Trump to use frivolous lawsuits to silence critics and solicit bribes. In spite of South Park’s past policy of treating both sides of any political issue as equally stupid and deserving of ridicule, “Sermon on the ‘Mount” was one of the boldest and most pointed criticisms of the Trump administration that comedy has ever produced, and series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone couldn’t have made their feelings toward America’s own tiny-dicked Middle-Eastern dictator any more explicit — seriously, Paramount wouldn’t let them.

Tomorrow’s new episode of South Park will apparently take on the U.S. Immigration and Customs Agency, into which President Hussein recently poured $170 billion of taxpayer money as part of his efforts to inflate the national deficit by trillions of dollars. But while the Season 27 premiere would suggest that Parker and Stone’s spoof of ICE will be about as harmless and good-natured as one of the agency’s concentration camps for children, the official Twitter account of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has apparently reversed course on the right-wing push to paint South Park as culturally irrelevant and is now embracing the parody with grim irony, using a still from this South Park promo to advertise a link for the ICE recruitment website:

When the above promo first dropped, Turning Point USA co-founder and community college dropout Charlie Kirk took the indication that Cartman will spend tomorrow’s new South Park episode doing an impression of Kirk’s many viral and confrontational “debates” with college students (who will presumably complete their degrees) as a high compliment, despite the fact that he has no idea how hard South Park will soon hit him. Kirk quickly changed his profile picture on Twitter to a screenshot of Cartman donning his distinct Tucker-Carlson-wannabe haircut.

Now, as ICE follows the demagogue’s lead in using screenshots from a yet-unreleased South Park episode to pretend that they’re in on the joke, it’s clear that the far-right leadership has plotted a new course for how they’re going to handle South Park Season 27. Rather than blow up and accuse the outrageously popular Parker and Stone of being partisan nobodies, and, in the process, give massive amounts of free publicity to South Park as it breaks streaming records, the Right has gone back to their strategy during the Joining the Panderverse days when they pretended that South Park is on their side, and any light ribbing of them is done out of love and patriotism.

But while this is certainly a more promising PR campaign than the snowflake meltdown from two weeks ago, the Right may still find this strategy to be ineffective for deflecting criticism, considering how certain parts of South Park’s criticism are of utmost importance to their voter base. “FUCK ICE WHERE ARE THE FUCKING EPSTEIN FILES?” one of the top replies to Homeland Security’s tweet reads.

Another Twitter user responded, “Where’s the Epstein files you pedophile defending Nazi fucks?”

“Damn that’s crazy where are the Epstein files?” one more asked.

Trump and his cronies are going to have a hard time finding cover behind cartoon children when there’s still so many questions to be answered about what he does with real ones.
