I had the exact same thought!

The timeline is almost puzzling:

• Episode "Sponsored Content" (s19e08), in which advertising disguised as news is first mentioned, aired on November 18.

• The Ofcom report was published on November 20.

Maybe the report was announced early, Trey Parker and Matt Stone heard about it and got the idea from there?
