It's Probably Funnier This Way Anyway

From TVGUIDE.com:
PARKING MORE CONTROVERSY: Comedy Central stands by its decision not to let South Park show an image of the Islamic prophet Muhammad during the show's most recent episode. (Instead, the screen cut to the message, "Comedy Central has refused to broadcast an image of Muhammad on their network.") "In light of recent world events" — the controversy surrounding a Danish newspaper that South Park was addressing — "we feel we made the right decision," Comedy Central said in a statement.

And yet, they have no problem with Jesus boxing Satan.

Way to stand up for freedom of speech there, Comedy Central.

And apparently in the same episode they have something done to Jesus (though I'm assuming the point is, they can depict Jesus with only a little innocuous bitching but they aren't allowed to do so with Mohammed (sp) because people go batshit.

I saw Part I of this episode last week, but haven't seen Part II (though I think it may be on TiVo. I'll have to look).

Comedy Central has really been showing its wussy nature here lately. Whatever.

You know, if they're going to try to play the political correctness card with a show like South Park they might as well just cancel it because Matt and Trey are not, I think, going to tone themselves down to fit into a pretty little pink We Are The World box. And if they do, I'll lose all respect for them.

Well, that's just dumb.
