Why Comedy Central (and most Media broadcasters these days) are a bunch of pussies.



Pardon the misogynistic term of address in the title, but I am very very angry with comedy central at the mo'.
As any respectable UK South Park fan already knows, the 201'st episode of south park was not shown on the UK comedy central channel, after the episode received multiple complaints in America. The particular episode is also no longer being screened on American channels either. Why? Well, it's all to do with the depiction one particular Muslim prophet: Muhammed.

Just to fill those in who haven't seen a lot of South Park, the depiction of Muhammed has been a theme in four South park episodes now: Cartoon Wars pt 1 and 2, 200 and 201.
The Cartoon wars episodes didn't receive any complaints, despite the fact it was released during the time when that Danish artist drew a picture of Muhammed with a bomb for a hat. However, in 200, even though the show itself explained why they couldn't show muhammed (and they didn't show him at all, just to make that clear) Muslims were still offended because (get this...) they used his name on TV...I am sorry but, OH.MY.GOD.FUCKING.BUDDHA.WHILE.JESUS.TAPES.IT.SUCKING.OFF.KRISHNA.
Ever since that artist made that picture, Muhammed has become such a sore subject, it's absoloutely ridiculous. South Park actually showed muhammed in the episode "Super best friends", and that didn't start anything bad.

I've actually watched 201 online, and by god It's a brilliant episode. Despite one teeny tiny little problem. IT'S CENSORED INTO THE FUCKING SUN! Every usage of the word Muhammed was bleeped, Muhammed was blocked up by a censor bar. And even Kyles obligitory "end of show speech" was entirely bleeped out. At first I thought it was some sort of meta-joke attack against censorship by the creators, but they recently stated that all of the censoring was done by Comedy central.

It just goes to show how spineless some TV stations are. As said in a previous South Park episode, by censoring media becuase of threats, you're letting Terrorism work in the first place, which just shows that maybe that Danish Cartoonist wasn't so wrong after all...

Anyways, see y'all later
