South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version

Yesterday we mentioned the controversy facing Matt Stone and Trey Parker after last week's South Park (episode 200) depicted Muhammad, founder of Islam, concealed in a bear suit. Today, penguinman1337 writes "Apparently, all is not well over at Comedy Central. The heavily censored version of episode 201 that aired last night has a lot of people angry, including the show's creators." From their note: "In the 14 years we've been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn't stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn't some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps."

    Ah, comedy central has made it clear that in response to death threats, they'll censor themselves.

    Someone needs to death threat them into releasing the episode.

    So we respond in kind. Threaten violence if they censor stuff. I'm sure they'll respond in a reasonable manor.

    The media needs to learn that about the Muslims as well. They aren't a special group any more than Christians or Atheists or anyone else. If they want to get whiny about people making fun of them the answer needs to be "Shut up, nobody cares," and then go back to making fun.

    As an agnostic I'm possibly offended that agnostics weren't specifically mentioned in that statement at all. Maybe offended. I mean, I have no real proof one way or the other.

    By the way, if you happen to be a techno-savvy hard-line Muslim reading this post

    Sorry, the techno-savvy hard-line Muslim can't come to the phone right now. He's out to lunch with the gadget-hoarding Amish electrical engineer.

    But they showed that episode in July 2001, and the attacks were in September 2001.

    So South Park caused the 9/11 attacks.

    If we could only give them more effective weapons maybe we could bring this issue to an end.
