Hello Internet,
It annoys me to say that free speech appears to have almost come to an end after comedy central has completely altered the new South Park episode because it mentions “Mohammed” and they took it upon them selves to bleep out the entire ending of the show which Matt and Trey never intended upon. A Muslim activist group has made threats against both of them saying they will most likely be killed because of the way they portrayed “Mohammed”…
Comedy Central has since refused to re-air the episode and banned it from being viewed on southparkstudios.com.
It was a good episode and should be seen ->Â http://www.southparkstudios.com/guide/episodes/s14e06-201
Also, today Matt and Trey have put up a statement on the South Park studios saying “In the 14 years we’ve been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn’t stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn’t some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle’s customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn’t mention Muhammad at all but it got bleeped too. We’ll be back next week with a whole new show about something completely different and we’ll see what happens to it. ”
Please let me know your thoughts!

Nice job comedy cantral. NOT! I hope they don’t do stuff like that to futurama.
Also, with the new layout, its hard to see where to type the comment.
The real story here isn’t about South Park or Comedy Central, it’s about the fact that religious fundamentalists believe it’s okay to threaten violence when their religion is insulted.
hahahaha…. dumbasses!! the censorship IS the joke!!
@Jisco actually it isn’t! You could read or knew how to do any type of research you’d realize it was censorship BY comedy central and NOT Matt Parker / Trey. They have even had death threats against them. Stop being such a jerk and learn your facts.

when you think about it carefully why is there religious fundamentalists because if someone isn’t there to bitch and moan about their religion being victimised then they would all be human and whats the fun in tht i suppose but yea comedy central really need to grow a pair of balls and not bow down to theses religious asses
well, i’m offended by their death threats, too, but they’re not toning them down on account of me!
