'Like the NBA, we welcome the Chinese censors into our homes and into our hearts,' wrote Trey Parker and Matt Stone in their 'apology'
Photo: South Park Studios South Park has gone too far — across international waters and all the way to the cutting-room floor in China’s censorship offices. A recent episode of the 22-year-old show features a story line more or less designed to get pushback from the government, and creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s “apology” doubles down, making fun of companies that are quick to appease Chinese censors in order to make money.
Parker and Stone, presumably while clinking glasses and approving bonuses to their writers, released a backhanded apology via South Park’s Twitter, accomplishing three things: calling out the NBA’s reaction to Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey’s expressing support for the Hong Kong protests, making more fun of President Xi, and plugging the next episode . concludes Stone and Parker’s joint statement.
