The Cartographic Conundrum: When Satire Meets Geopolitics The ongoing saga of President Trump's demand to rebrand geographic locations with more American friendly monikers has reached a new level of absurdity, thanks in part to the irreverent humor of Trey Parker and Matt Stone, creators of the long running animated TV show "South Park".
The producers' decision to rename their show "South America" for the time being is a scathing rebuke of the White House's attempts to impose its will on the world of cartography.
The move can be seen as a clever example of satire at work.
