"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...
�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.
