I am irate about the fact that Comedy Central has chosen bow to Muslim extremists and censor episodes of South Park that depict Muhammad. Are we so willing to sacrifice our freedom? So it is ok to lampoon Jesus or other religious leaders simply because the chance of threats is less? Ridiculous. Hooray to Trey Parker and Matt Stone, to hell with Comedy Central:
A spokesman for Comedy Central who asked not to be identified confirms that when South Park's producers delivered the latest episode featuring Muhammad to the broadcaster a few hours before air on Wednesday, the only elements that had been bleeped out by the cartoon creators themselves were profanities. The spokesman says that the broadcaster then took the decision to black out any image depicting Muhammad and any verbal reference to him, as well as the closing comments of other characters. "Comedy Central would not let them show the image of Muhammad," the rep acknowledges.
