South Park sparks controversy showing Dora The Explorer being sex-trafficked to 'Mar-a-Lago island'
South Park's latest storyline has certainly raised eyebrows.
The popular adult animation is no stranger to causing controversy and have found itself embroiled in a feud with the Trump administration of late after the first episode of South Park's season 27 aired.
What happened, I hear you ask? Well, let's just say it involved the president, his supposedly tiny manhood and Satan; three things I'd never thought I'd be stringing together in one sentence.
Despite the fact the White House issued a scathing statement about the episode in question, South Park went on to double down on the penis joke in Wednesday's episode (August 6).

It's not just Trump himself that South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have taken aim at in their latest season, however, but the Trump administration as a whole.
Immigration has been a hot topic in the US of late as the president and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) clamp down on so-called 'illegal aliens' in the country.
One person who was targeted in the latest episode was Dora the Explorer, a famous kid's cartoon character who is of Latin American descent.
Dora is doing a live show when ICE agents storm the theatre and arrest her and any non-white people in the audience. One agent's heard saying: "If it’s Brown, it goes down."
In an even darker turn of events, once Dora becomes a teenager she lands as a job as a 'masseuse' at Mar-a-Lago, but is essentially sex trafficked to a resort full of rich old men in what people believed to be a swipe at Trump's links to Jeffrey Epstein.
People on social media have since reacted to the undeniably dark episode. One viewer wrote: "Omg ICE raid on Dora the Explorer! #SouthPark is crazy!!!"
"I am screaminggg, not raiding a Dora the explorer show," said another.
Another shocked person penned: "You've gotta be kidding me? DORA THE EXPLORER!?!?!?! #SouthPark."
"I literally screamed when South Park raided the dora the explorer concert," added another.
The episode airing comes after Homeland Security used a scene from South Park to encourage people to join ICE.
Sharing a picture of the cartoon agents, Homeland Security tweeted: "JOIN.ICE.GOV."
South Park went on to respond to the post. Resharing it, whoever runs the official account for the show penned: "Wait, so we ARE relevant? #eatabagofdicks."
From the looks of the first two episodes of South Park's 27th season, it's unlikely the digs as the president and his administration are going to end anytime soon.
