South Park has temporarily rebranded itself as 'South America' in a pointed jab at Donald Trump's reported drive to slap 'America' on US place names, just days after the long-running animated series picked up its fifth Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program.

Creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone announced the apparent name change on the show's official social media accounts on Tuesday, 8 September, ahead of the 29th season's premiere on Comedy Central next Wednesday, 16 September.
