Brown appears in South Park

Gordon Brown has made an appearance on South Park.

The Prime Minister has been immortalized by the animated comedy in a plot that sees world leaders band together to steal money from aliens in a bid to solve the global recession.

However, the international community agrees to obliterate Finland after discovering that the country plans to tip off intergalactic police.

The episode was shown on Comedy Central channel in America last Wednesday and on the UK sister channel on Friday.

It featured a number of leaders including German’s Angela Merkel and China’s Hu Jintao. However, when it came to Australia, John Howard was still depicted as Prime Minister – even though he was replaced by Kevin Rudd almost two years ago.

Barack Obama has already appeared in South Park, which is now in its 13th series, following his presidential election success. The animated programme prides itself on its topicality; and this week’s script will revolve around Somalian pirates.

Here is Gordon Brown, and others, in the episode:
