Exactly their point... the double standard Comedy Central has. It's okay to make fun of Jesus, but not Mohammedguy (sic).

Yes, it was offensive. But we're not going to riot or kill. They know that. Comedy Central caved to Islamic pressure.

Did Comedy Central really not allow them to show it, or was it all a joke? I never saw any articles or heard anything about a conflict between the show and the network other than what appeared on the show.

Comedy Central is going to have to explain why its okay to crap on Jesus and the American flag, but not show Mohammad. Brilliant episode.

I'm borderline surprised Comedy Central aired this episode at all. Get past the Family Guy stuff and the other side issues -- this episode was mainly a vicious swipe by Matt + Trey at Comedy Central itself. The dialogue throughout the episode makes CC look horrible, and rightfully so. They don't seem thrilled to be on this channel at the moment, to say the least.

Yeah. They call President Bush Hitler and Satan all day, but won't show a three-second animation of mohammed. Typical liberal pussies.

I'm not sure that CC did cave to Islamic pressure. I've yet to find an article or anything to suggest there was ever a debate between SP and CC over showing Molestin Mo, and furthermore, he was in the Super Best Friends episode ... so SP has already shown Muhammed on CC.

More and more, I'm wondering if this isn't about CC pulling the scientology episode.
