Seems the market cleaned up this problem all by itself.

Comedy Central seemingly decided that continuing to air this episode would negatively effect its bottom line.

If in the future there is enough demand for it to be re-aired, I'm sure it will.

The system works.

It's win-win for Comedy Central. They pull this rerun to satisfy the Catholic League, and then in a year or so, the DVD sales go through the roof when they include the "banned episode".

Of course, a banned TV episode makes the DVD set all that more valuable and appealing.
I personally really like Southpark. Usually, the underlying message is one making fun of libs. Of course, they sting everyone else from time to time as well.
I have, however, witnessed a few episodes that were too tasteless to enjoy.
