The White House has lashed out at the creators of American animated sitcom South Park (1997 to present), after the bawdy satire skewered Mr Donald Trump in an episode featuring an artificial intelligence (AI)-generated version of the United States President crawling naked through a desert.

White House lashes out at US sitcom South Park's Trump parody

LOS ANGELES -

In a no-holds-barred season premiere on July 23, the animated Trump character is also seen begging Satan for sex, only to be rebuffed — in part over the size of his sexual organ.

The White House was not amused.

"This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention," spokeswoman Taylor Rogers said on July 24.

"President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak."

The adult animated series, which frequently touches on hot-button issues in American life, is now in its 27th season and remains one of the world's most valuable TV shows.
