    South Park already showed Saddam Hussein’s penis in all its glory.

    Think about it:

    • Saddam? Exposed.
    • Trump? Censored.

    This is TOTAL DISCRIMINATION

    The point is FAIRNESS. If one guy’s junk gets airtime, then THE DONALD’S deserves a prime-time show!

    This isn’t just TV—it’s about AMERICAN VALUES.

      Why are you using a Lemmy client with ads?

      Take this, it’s open source and platform agnostic https://getvoyager.app/

      Why are you getting adds on Lemmy?!

      1/3 appears to be an eyeliner stencil. 4 and 6 are clothing. 5 is glass orbs full of low-freezing-point liquid so they stay liquid in a freezer but have high thermal mass. They are used in some woowoo skincare routines to cool skin.

      2 is very weird. It’s an index finger that appears to be covered in glitter and tiny orbs.

        I have the opinion that the asshole who chose the images, intentionally chose 6 even if it’s “unrelated” because it has a X and at a first glance people might click it thinking it’s a button to close the ad

        And they cropped the finger to make it look an erect penis, to get clicks

        Why are you getting ads on Lemmy

        Because they are using a client that injects ads into its feed.

        I believe Boost does that

    You can watch the end of the episode on HeTrumpedUs.com, I don’t think the article gives it enough credit for the thing they pulled.

    I would have never guessed they get this aired, they are really not giving any fucks.

      I will admit they give no fucks when they criticise Israel’s genocide. Until then, they are playing it safe. Trump doesn’t care what the left says about him, this won’t reach enough of his voting base to matter. They control their narrative.

      Did you watch it, it really wasn’t animated. They also showed the cartoon one multiple times.

      Also from the article:

      Earlier on Thursday, the FCC approved Skydance’s acquisition of Paramount Global, clearing the way for that merger after Skydance agreed to eliminate diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives and install a watchdog over CBS News. That was on top of the $16 million Paramount paid Trump over the CBS News lawsuit, and the additional $16 million that Trump has said Skydance agreed to pay via those “public service announcements.”

        Way to bury the lede. "Liberterians with buyers remorse draw animated prick on animated prick. Oh btw there’s an official from minitrue effectively in charge of what can be shown on one of the 3-4 major American broadcast networks. "

          Liberterians[sic] with buyers remorse draw animated prick on animated prick.

          I do think there should be a conversation about how South Park did normalize a lot of fucked up shit. I think it is entirely reasonable to argue that it normalized antisemitism and queer phobia in some ways - it taught a lot of twelve year olds that calling someone a “Jew” or a “fagg~t” was inherently funny.

          Sorta like how on /b/ - the racism and homophobia was mostly joking originally (I’m talking like pre-2010). Taking it seriously/too far would get mocked. But:

          Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they’re in good company. (No attribution)

          I love South Park, but their episode on trans people was just shitty and dehumanizing, and it gave people permission to parrot that kind of rhetoric. There’s a difference between being edgy and offensive, and saying the kinds of things that end up actually getting people hurt. South Park has always been at its best when it punched up (as in this episode).
