South Park 200th Episode

[x0i]

An recent episode of South Park had Muhhamad in it. Muhhamad was blocked and the word Mohhamad was block. Apperantly they were threatended by a Islamic Group based in New York.

 

Pretty fucked up if you ask me

 

 

Here is what a article on Yahoo.com said...

 

Cognizant that Islam forbids the depiction of its holiest prophet, Mr. Stone and Mr. Parker showed their South Park characters agonizing over how to bring Muhammad to their fictional Colorado town. At first the character said to be Muhammad is confined to a U-Haul trailer, and is heard speaking but is not shown. Later in the episode the character is let out of the trailer, dressed in a bear costume.

 

The next day the South Park episode was criticized by the group Revolution Muslim in a post at its Web site, revolutionmuslim.com. The post, written by a member named Abu Talhah Al-Amrikee, said the episode outright insulted the prophet, adding: We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid, and they will probably wind up like Theo van Gogh for airing this show. This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them.

 

Mr. van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker and a critic of religions including Islam, was killed by an Islamic militant in Amsterdam in 2004 after he made a film that discussed the abuse of Muslim women in some Islamic societies.

 

In a telephone interview on Wednesday, Younus Abdullah Muhammad, a member of Revolution Muslim, repeated the groups assertion that the post was a prediction rather than a threat. He said the post on the groups blog was intended in a principle thats deeply rooted in the Islamic religion, which is called commanding the good and forbidding the evil. He tied the groups complaints about South Park to larger frustrations about American support for Israel and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

 

Asked if the F.B.I. was investigating, Special Agent Richard Kolko, an F.B.I. spokesman in New York, said in a phone interview that the bureau did not monitor people or groups, we investigate criminal activity.

 

Mr. Kolko said: The F.B.I. will investigate threats that occur over the Internet to determine if there is a potential for the threat to be carried out. However, in most cases these are First Amendment issues, and the F.B.I. vigorously defends peoples First Amendment rights.

 

Police Commissioner Raymond W. Kelly said the New York Police Department was aware of the threat, and weve looked at it.

 

He added, We dont think that this threat, as is currently assessed, rises to a crime right now.

 

A law enforcement official, who requested anonymity because the investigation was continuing, said police investigators had met with people at Comedy Central and "made arrangements to address security concerns."

 

Comedy Central has previously given Mr. Stone and Mr. Parker a certain free rein with South Park. In a July 2001 episode, Super Best Friends, Muhammad was depicted alongside the founders of other religions, including Krishna and Lao Tzu.

 

But in 2006, when South Park wanted to weigh in on a controversy that erupted after Jyllands-Posten, a Danish newspaper, published cartoons satirizing Muhammad, it was not given the same latitude: a character said to be Muhammad was concealed behind a large black box labeled CENSORED. The measure was taken by the South Park producers partly at the insistence of Comedy Central, and partly as a commentary on the networks policy of not allowing them to show the character, which the episode equated with giving in to the demands of extremists.

 

In a new episode of South Park broadcast Wednesday on Comedy Central, Mr. Parker and Mr. Stone exercised a degree of self-censorship. In continuing the previous weeks story line about the Prophet Muhammad, that character was hidden underneath a CENSORED graphic, and an audio bleep was heard when his name was said.

 

But in a message that appeared Thursday morning on SouthParkStudios.com, the Web site of Mr. Stone and Mr. Parkers company, the studio said that Comedy Central had imposed further changes to the show.

 

After we delivered the show, and prior to broadcast, Comedy Central placed numerous additional audio bleeps throughout the episode, the message said. It added that the network was not allowing the episode to be streamed on the Web site, where South Park shows generally appear after they are broadcast on Comedy Central.

 

A spokesman for Comedy Central confirmed on Thursday that the network had added more bleeps to the episode than were in the version delivered by South Park Studios, and that it was not permitting the episode to be shown on the studios Web site. Comedy Central did not broadcast a repeat of the new South Park episode at midnight as it usually does, and instead showed a previous episode from this season. The channel was scheduled to do the same Thursday night.

 

Comedy Central declined to comment on the Revolution Muslim blog post or say if it was taking any precautions because of it.

 

In a statement, Mr. Parker and Mr. Stone wrote: In the 14 years weve been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldnt stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central, and they made a determination to alter the episode.

 

The episode was to end with a speech about intimidation and fear, Mr. Parker and Mr. Stone wrote, adding, It didnt mention Muhammad at all but it got bleeped too.

 

They continued, Well be back next week with a whole new show about something completely different, and well see what happens to it.

them censoring the word muhammad is only part of it. The entire ending speeches about not letting fear get to you which had no mention of muhammad or ANYTHING offensive were censored by comedy central.

 

all in all, i think comedy central needs to man the fuck up, it was matt & trey that were getting death threats, not comedy central. Matt & Trey had no problem airing it after the threats so why the fuck should comedy central?
