People are used to it and don't care about it anymore.
- nbabitskiy 7y agoBut what do they feel? What Trump and Obama feel about SP? For example, in Russia everybody would (hypothetically) laugh their asses out, but the creators would be promptly sued, because reasons, and won't proceed.
- giggles_giggles 7y agoNobody gives a crap what Trump or Obama feels about it, it's in the cultural domain and it's none of their business
- zenexer 7y agoThere’s nothing they could reasonably be sued for here. Parody, satire, and political commentary are largely protected. Our TV programming regularly criticizes and ridicules our own country’s politicians.
- anm89 7y agoSouth Park was pretty nice to Obama overall and he had a decent ability to take a joke so I'm guessing he liked it. I assure you Trump does not like South Park. But at the end of the day it doesn't matter what they think. There would be huge outrage if a President tried to silence a satirical show. They wouldn't be able to get away with it.
- nbabitskiy 7y agoI understand that any American president is not like Putin. However, you (as a nation) have a history of character murdering, firing for politically incorrect statements etc.
- zenexer 7y agoYou might end up fired or losing a contract, but you’re not going to end up in jail. In South Park’s case, there’s a very slim chance that the creators will lose their contracts—they’ve been doing this for a long time.
