On Wednesday’s season premiere of Comedy Central’s “South Park,” show creators Trey Stone and Matt Parker mocked actor Alec Baldwin, who has found himself embroiled in a number controversies involving his use of Twitter.
In the episode, Eric Cartman attempts fight the National Security Agency, but sought a means where he could update social media without being snooped upon by those he suspects are working for the NSA. His friend suggests using “Shitter,” which is a social media tool that transmits ones internal thoughts directly to social media.
The show goes to to depict the product’s endorsement by Alec Baldwin, who had chopped off his thumbs after making homophobic tweets but still wanted a way to communicate on social media.
