Animated satire South Park said Tuesday it was changing its name to "South America," in an apparent dig at US President Donald Trump's bid to rename swathes of the world. The announcement from the Emmy Award-winning show comes after Trump's recent efforts to rename Lake Ontario as Lake America and the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America. Following the order by Trump, who has also mused about changing the US state of New Mexico to New America, both Apple and Google altered the way the bodies of water are labelled for US users of their maps -- something show creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone took aim at. "Inspired by the bravery and patriotism of Apple and Google, we are changing the name of South Park to SOUTH AMERICA," said the show's official X account. The pair also took a shot at Paramount, which is now owned by David Ellison's Skydance Corporation, despite the reported $1.5 billion deal they signed last year.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle break their silence over South Park's parody episode on them 

<p>'South Park'&nbsp;creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone&nbsp;signed a massive deal Thursday to make 14 movies of their enduring satirical cartoon for streaming service Paramount+, as Hollywood's frenzied scramble for online content accelerates.</p>

<p>While MTV Entertainment Studios -- which like Paramount+ is owned by parent corporation ViacomCBS -- did not release any financial figures, Bloomberg News put the deal at $900 million, which would make it one of the largest in television history.</p>

<p>The Paramount+ streaming platform launched in March in a bid to compete in a crowded and content-hungry marketplace led by the likes of Netflix, Disney+ and Amazon Prime.</p>

<p>In a statement, MTV Entertainment's Chris McCarthy said developing new content with "tremendous talent like Matt and Trey, is at the heart of our strategy to continue growing Paramount+."</p>

<p>The deal also includes multiple new series of 'South Park'&nbsp;for television network Comedy Central, which will see the long-running satire reach its 30th year by 2027.</p>

<p>'South Park,'&nbsp;set in small-town America and known for crude language and lampooning hot-button social issues since 1997, has already spawned one film, multiple video games and other merchandise.</p>

<p>"Comedy Central has been our home for 25 years and we're really happy that they've made a commitment to us for the next 75 years," said Parker and Stone in the joint statement.</p>

<p>"We can't wait to get back to doing traditional South Park episodes but now we can also try out new formats," they added.</p>

<p>While ViacomCBS did not immediately comment on the $900 million figure, it would put the deal on a par with Reese Witherspoon's sale of her Hello Sunshine company to a new private equity-backed media venture this week. It also comes after Amazon in May agreed to buy MGM studios for $8.45 billion.</p>

<p>Other streaming platforms recently launched by major media and tech companies to join the so-called "streaming wars" include HBO Max, Peacock and Apple TV+, each seeking vast content libraries to attract and retain subscribers.</p>

<p>ViacomCBS said Wednesday that it had reached 42 million streaming subscribers. Current market leader Netflix has more than 200 million.</p>
