    "Trey Parker, a co-creator of the Comedy Central staple "South Park," says the next season of the not-for-children cartoon is going to be scaling back on political humor, according to an interview with the Los Angeles Times...

    Parker, who also voices several characters in the long-running satire, thought showrunners were falling into the �same trap� as "Saturday Night Live," he tells the the Los Angeles Times in an interview published Thursday. He didn�t want the show to turn into CNN, where viewers can just �tune in to see what we�re going to say about Trump.�

    �We probably could put up billboards � 'Look what we�re going to do to Trump next week!' � and get crazy ratings. But I just don�t care,� said Parker, who created the show with longtime collaborator Matt Stone.

    Parker, who voices a character in the new film "Despicable Me 3," added that he doesn�t think Trump is trying to be funny, but he uses �comedic art� to make headlines and get the attention that won him the election.

    �The things that we do � being outrageous and taking things to the extreme to get a reaction out of people � he�s using those tools. At his rallies he gets people laughing and whooping,� he said.

    "South Park's" 21st season is set to premiere in August.
