Did anyone watch tonight?
For those who don't know, last week South Park featured Mohammed. And they censored out where he would have been drawn but did things like feature him in the back of a u-haul so he could be there and not be seen and then put him in a bear mascot costume so he's "technically not seen" to push the envelope.
At the same time, to show how mild of a treatment it was and how ridiculous it is - they had Jesus and the leaders of other religions as "the Super Best Friends" making fun of the old cartoon the SuperFriends. Jesus swore a bunch and Krishna was snorting lines of cocaine off of a table.
Over the course of the week, radical muslim groups have been threatening the lives of the south park creators.
Well this week was the concluseion - and Comedy Central bleeped out every time the word Mohammed was uttered. They also bleeped out a full minute at the ending that explained things. It was really disappointing.
I found out the bleeping was comedy central's doing. But why air the episode at all? Obviously the south park creators still wrote the same thing, so how are they less offensive to these groups by airing it? If anything, it just shows comedy central's cowardice while still putting the creators at risk.
As of now they won't allow an uncensored version to even stream on the internet.
the ridiculous world we live in.
