Los Angeles, California - Animated satire South Park said Tuesday it was changing its name to South America, in an apparent dig at 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 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.

Donald Trump Trump claims he helped 9/11 first responders and was saved by firefighters at Ground Zero – but is it true?

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.

"We especially want to thank our parent company Paramount – a Skydance Capitulation," the account wrote.

The show customarily known as South Park is set in small-town America and known for crude language and lampooning hot-button social issues.

Since Trump's return to the White House, it has mercilessly poked fun at him and routinely depicts him as being in a loveless marriage with Satan, while a toady JD Vance plots to evict the devil from the matrimonial bed.
