Agreed, Thats what makes the show so funny.
But sadly, as we all know, when you work for someone else you dont get to call all the shots.

I do see what you did, apparently Im just an ostrich for looking at it from both sides.

im not sayin I like the fact that the powers that be edited the episode, but I can deffinitly see it from their POV. And honestly Im a little suprised no one else on this thread can see it from the other side as well. Yes, they should have the ability to put whatever they want into thier show, but this time(after threats on thier life) the highers ups said no. Im just saying, I cant blame em for doing so.

I do see the other side, but its simply a falsehood position. Appeasing a bully doesn't stop him, it emboldens him. Any action that serves to reinforce a behavior is likely to produce that behavior again, and that is a heavily supported construct. To each his own I suppose though. Either way, South Park is still going to be on my TV every Wednesday!

Someone hacked the revolution islam site...its hilarious now.

THATS WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT!!! AHAHAHAH

I don't think the creators have ever been about avoiding conflict given that they have picked on just about any issue/celeb thats big enough to pick on. If they want to put their neck on the line, that's a choice that they should be able to make - freely. I don't wish them harm, but they already "went there" with the issue on the first controversial Muhammad 2 part episode. The whole point of South Park is usually to call out people on some of the ridiculous things that go on in this world, and this is ridiculous. I guess we should all go literally bury our heads in the sand so we don't get bombed by the terrorists...

You see what I did there?

Exactly, and hence my position. Watch the interview Medic.

I don't know if I'd call it "wimping out".
Thier lives were threatened and you know as well as I do that the muslim extremist arms reach every part of the earth. I would think they did the right thing. Our America right of freedom of speech means nothing to the extremist.
If they feel it's worth a jihad then nothing will stop the untill they get thier way.

If the newspaper that published the original comic wouldn't have hung out to dry the Danish artists in the first place, we wouldn't be in this mess. Jihadist already hate us, so why should we limit what we say to appease them? So they kill us more humanely? We are all infidels who need to be converted or die to the radical Islamists. They live by the sword and die by the sword, and if the creators feel comfortable doing it then let them do it. I applaud them for sticking by their principals, and calling out the media who made this the new norm.

Go to 1:56. They bring up a FANTASTIC point that they ALREADY showed "the prophet" in Episode 5.....which is now in its 14th season. They also show him, all the time, in repeats. On a side note, I love the creators because they got their head screwed on straight on this whole issue. I won't spoil the whole interview though. Enjoy.
