SPOILER ALERT FOR ANYONE WHO HAS NOT SEEN IT YET! DON'T READ UNTIL AFTER YOU'VE SEEN IT!
Tonight, they bleeped out the word Muhammed and had a censor sign on him. They made fun of everyone not being able to say the word Muhammed in public and censored his body. The muslim group may think South Park listened to what they said, but they just made fun of not being able to say Muhammed and show him on TV.
South Park showed Muhammed in a Season 5 episode called "Super Best Friends". But that was before 9/11.
Actually, it wasn't Trey and Matt's decision to bleep the word Muhammed. They delivered the show to Comedy Central and the pussy suits pissed themselves and decided to bleep them without the creators permission. See for yourself.
Saw this episode last night in the UK. Muhammed wasn't bleeped out and I don't recall making fun of not being able to say the name. What they did have was the fact that his image could not be shown on TV and had a big 'censored' block. Though I don't think it had anything to do with censorship per se but with the whole thing about the religion not allowing his image to be shown. The whole episode was based on that (ie the bear suit, etc.).
Is this again the case of the Americans making a mountain out of a molehill?
if it was americans making mountains out of molehills why would the network suits have censored the episode and the word "mohammad" 47 times?

Why was the word Mohammad not censored when shown in Europe then? Comedy Central, right? Seems American networks censored it for distribution/showing in the US, not here. So yeah... americans making a mountain out of a molehill. If they weren't, wouldn't they be risking the wrath of these radicals, whereever this episode shown?

it was the network executives, not trey parker, matt stone, or the american population. we are not making a mountain out of a molehill. the executives might be, but we are not. i say show the bear and say his name. i dont care what this radical group has to say.

I think Stone and Parker are treading dangerous ground here…they had to expect this kind of reaction. Knowing that…maybe they shouldn’t have fanned the flames.
On the other hand, maybe this is an important discussion if people can try to gain some kind of understanding of the other side’s stance.
Cartoons have never once physically hurt people. Religious zealots have.
Bravo South Park to continuing to say what needs to be said.... and I certainly hope they both have carry permits.
Screw the “we need to understand them” what do you want to understand...why they kill people that disagree with them?......they need to suck it up....like the Christians in America do when there own citizens degrade them for celebrating Christmas, Easter or just about anything that has to do with Jesus..............funny how Americans want to Understand Muslims.....yet they have no toleration for Christian’s.....
Haha, the poor degraded Christians in America. I remember the good 'ol days when i could practice Christianity openly in this country. Now I have to do so underground with the extreme threat of shame or violence against me if anyone finds out......
The whole "attack on Christianity in America" bullshit was laughable at first but is now just getting old.

Save your whining for your militant Christian wing... The Ku Klux Klan, Rev. Phelps and his 'God Hates Fags' minions and the assholes that assasinate doctors in your own churches.
The KKK does not represent all Christians... do they? No... HELL NO! Neither do Rev. Phelps and his words of hatred and intolerance. The SAME way fanatical fundamentalist Islamic militants do not speak for all of Islam.
THAT... is some understanding YOU need to grasp.
...
As for Christmas and Easter... what does a pine tree decorated with symbols of fertility have to do with the birth of Christ? And what about rabbits that lay eggs? Were they at the Ressurrection?
You can still have Christmas and Easter... there is no law banning it... as far as I can tell. You can say, 'Merry Motherfucking Christmas, bitches' to anyone you please... and you won't be dragged off and drawn and quartered. All we ask is that you keep your religious bulshit to your churches and your homes... and NOT in the public properties that my taxes pay for. And not just Christian stuff... Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Aetheist... ALL religious stuff to the places your worship.
