In a post on X, the Department of Homeland Security used a South Park-style animation in a recruiting post, just days after South Park released a trailer for its upcoming episode featuring DHS Secretary Kristi Noem. The post was made after a White House spokesperson said the show "hasn’t been relevant in 20 years’ after the first episode of the new season depicted President Donald Trump in unflattering ways.

“Wait, so we are relevant?” the post reads.

It added a vulgar hashtag: “#eatabagofdicks.”

    “Yeah… We kinda fucked up with this running joke.”

    Which is course fucking dumb, because the episode aired in 2006. Which is decades after everyone with a working brain already knew antropogenic climate change is very definitely real.

      Funny enough 2006 was exactly when I started researching the idea. It came across as the perfect media hype. “Mankind doomed through greed and hubris!” After two nights of reading I walked away thinking it was indeed a hoax.

      Then I realized that much of what I had referenced was by the same author across many websites. Looked him up. Take a guess? Lobbyist for the oil companies. And that told me everything I needed to know.
