CENSORING 'SOUTH PARK' AGAIN
"I'VE never been a "South Park" fan, but the animated show's last two episodes on Comedy Central had me hooked. Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker keyed off the continuing conflagration over the Mohammed cartoons (published last fall by the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten) to lambaste their own network's capitulation to Islamic terrorism.
Viewers are viciously, deservedly, mocking the network for its cave-in. "Comedhimmi Central," jibed one of my Web site readers. "Cowardly Central," derided Canadian blogger Damian Penny.
The plot of Wednesday's show revolved around Kyle (one of the "South Park" kids) trying to convince a Fox network executive to air an uncensored episode of the animated show "Family Guy," even though it contained an image of Mohammed. (Many Muslims consider it blasphemy to depict Mohammed, though his image has appeared in art, architecture, and literature throughout the ages with nary a peep.)
After much anguish, the Fox exec agrees to air the show - but, in place of the planned image of Mohammed, a black slate appears to announce: "Comedy Central has refused to broadcast an image of Mohammed on their network."
Prior to the start of the true-life Cartoon Jihad, "South Park" had featured cartoon images of Mohammed without incident. A 2001 episode titled "Super Best Friends" featured the Muslims' prophet as a superhero with flame powers. No fatwas ensued; no suits complained. But when Parker and Stone wanted a Mohammed image for their latest show, Comedy Central balked."
Please read all of what Michelle has to offer. The stupendous irony is, well, stupendous, but I don't believe for a second that Comedy Senseless did this without ratings aforethought. And yes, picking at a scab doesn't hurt until it has been whittled down to tender meat, so of course the moslems weren't paying much attention to cartoons back in 2001...you can look it up...there was a lot going on back then, but today, the scab that is Islam is ready to bleed at the slightest provocation when it comes to ugly old Mo's dirty kisser. Islamic apologists have played chicky for them all over the world, and instead of facing a civilization united against such barbarism they've found friends a'plenty in the Loons who would ask us to "Communicate and Understand."
