Does the author realize that SouthPark was using Family Guy as a proxy for themselves? I mean, he does to a point, but does he really?

As for the big wheel bursting into flames, South Park themselves have done that at least 3 times, probably more.

This was a hilarious episode, and I hope Comedy Central doesn't puss out on next week's.

If you censor for Mohammad, then you have to for Catholics and cripples et al. (lol)

I saw it that way too... that the criticisms of Family Guy seemed awfully familiar ;~D Not sure many others have found that layer.

Exactly! not sure how so many people missed that, but I figured it was obvious when at the end instead of saying Fox, they said Comedy Central.

Uh, still... a LOT of that humor was aimed squarely at Family Guy and was NOT self-referential... Like the constant flashbacks...

You mean like they used the Super Adventerers Club instead of Scientology?

We all knew SP would address the islam cartoon thing. I've seen the comments here, but not in the press, that this was as much about Scientology, Tom Cruise and Comedy Central as it was about the Mohammed cartoons.
