Comedy Central has crapped on free speech. They have no problem with Jesus being disgraced. Hypocricy at its worst. They guys made their point. Islamofascists won. We lost.

No they didn't. They did what they were best at. Hits on both sides of the issue. Excellent episode

Has no one considered that the "censoring" was itself a joke?

South Park has depicted the prophet Mohammed as a character in a previous episode.

I half agree.

In our favor: they played on the hypocritical nature of the controversy, made fun of Bin Laden and Zawahiri by portraying them as Western-style pop culture critics, and radical Muslims as terrorists ready to bomb those with whom they disagree.

In their favor: NO image of Mohammed, followed by Jesus taking a crap (literally!) on George Bush.

Actually, as I type this, I think it's win-win. Even by caving in where it counts, they got the point across. Whether they genuinely caved in, or censored the image as a joke, the point was made.

I gotta see this!! Do you remember which episode that was?
