Comedy Central censors South Park Mohammed episode
Comedy Central has knuckled under yet again. In tonight's episode(1004), in response to the staged Muslim riots over Danish cartoons, Matt Parker and Trey Stone attempted to air an animated cartoon of Mohammed. To show their sensitivity toward Muslims, all of the citizens of the United States bury their heads in sand.
But Cowardly Central takes a dive every time things get the least bit controversial, and, predictably, they knuckled under and censored the image of Mohammed. In place of Mohammed, the screen said "Comedy Central has refused to broadcast an image of Mohammed on their network."
Some people are claim that the show is getting too polical and not as funny as it used to be. Well...it was funny to me. Politically correct dolts burying their heads in the sand. Manatees writing for the Family Guy. President Bush at the press conference was probably the funniest part, where the press asks what the 1st amendment is. I thought it was hilarious. But, what do I know?
They've now pulled episodes that make fun of Scientology, Christianity, Muslims, and Blacks. It's getting where the only place you can watch South Park is to download the censored shows from Morpheus. Comedy Central clearly does not have the moxy necessary to carry the South Park show. Matt and Trey should bypass the mediots and the FCC and start broadcasting their show directly from the internet.

Apparently, it's OK to show Jesus crapping on George Bush, but not any image of Mohamad.
