LOL I thought Matt and Trey censored the words to be ironic :D

Edit - wait, the article ViRGE posted says absolutely nothing about Viacom censoring the episode.

Words? I haven't seen the episode yet, what words? All I know about it is the controversy it has gotten from some radical Islamic group that has threatened Parker and Stone with death. What they censored was Mohamed's image, put him in a bear costume, in a moving truck etc.. Yet even this they got a death threat for. What were the words?

When you think about it even this took guts for Parker and Stone to do since the outcome though ironic and stupid isn't surprising. There's some small chance that some nut could actually carry out the death threat after all.

They bleeped it out whenever the characters said "Muhammad" as if it were a swear word :D I actually LOL'd, pretty sure it was intentional from Matt & Trey.

lol yeah they have more guts than I have. It's completely idiotic but if I were them I wouldn't have come near this subject with a 10 foot poll. Course that's what makes them great. Hope they don't get hurt for this though.

Fuck those stupid radicals. I'd make an episode directly about them actually. Fine with Americans dieing in 9/11? Supposed to terrorize people who don't believe in their god?

HAH.

That's irony in a nutshell. This is precisely what Matt & Trey were mocking in that episode. When it comes to these people. Radical Muslims or whatever you want to call them. I think we've been MORE than tolerant. While a minority, they are a sizable one and I think it's growing. Not all of them threaten violence but I've heard enough hate speech spewed from Islamists here in Canada to get a pretty good picture of the general attitude.

Marked for later, I watched it last nite, I can't say for sure who censored it, Matt & Trey are definately the type that would do it themselves to be funny, but whole speechs, and the whole "I learned something today" speech, well its kinda their thing.

Damn, it's not available now. I'll have to check the torrent sites to see if anyone got it.

BTW, I agree with Matt and Trey from when they first tackled this issue: Everyone should be picking on Muhammed until this bullshit stops.

mr twig dot net will have it
