They must have enjoyed that South Park episode.

I'm sure it's totally coincidence with the settlement, Colbert's Late Show being cancelled, and now this. Yup. Nothing to see here.

Seriously? That's pretty low.

But Colbert's talent as a satirist was wasted on the Late Show anyways. I hope this comes back to bite them in the ass.

Colbert had a monologue a few days before being cancelled calling Paramount's settlement a bribe.

If it wasn't already, South Park is now authoritarian propaganda.

Edit: Don't look at the "Trump bad" distraction. Look at the $1.5 billion deal.

Taking money from bad people and using it to spite them isn't so bad.
