South Park Writer Saw Trump's Kennedy Center Name-Change Coming, So He Bought Multiple Web Domains to Troll Him

A prescient writer for the irreverent Comedy Central show South Park correctly predicted that President Donald Trump would slap his name on the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, so he bought up Trump-Kennedy Center web domains to troll the president.

Writer Toby Morton bought the “trumpkennedycenter.org” and “trumpkennedycenter.com” domains back in August and is now plotting how best to parody Trump’s vanity, according to The Washington Post.

“As soon as Trump began gutting the Kennedy Center board earlier this year, I thought, ‘Yep, that name’s going on the building,’” Morton told The Post.

Morton said that when a politician starts “blowing up in the news,” he snags the relevant domain name and begins building a parody site as a form of “political activism.”

I tried and just got a blank page. Maybe they're still building it.

for the giant AI data center being built under what used to be the East Wing. Construction photos show a giant hole being dug.
