Just a minor point, for what it's worth:
SP didn't portray Jesus desecrating the flag; it portrayed muslims portraying Jesus desecrating the flag (reminiscent of Iran belittling the holocause in response to the mohammad cartoons).
So, while attacking Comedy Central, they also showed muslims as overreacting, mean-spirited and childish to the extreme.
Accurately.
Did you even get the point about the episode?
Everything is okay. Or nothing is okay. That was the point.
I laughed so hard I broke into a coughing spell last night watching it, and knew, just knew, that someone would post an "I'm offended" kind of comment here.
Guess what? I pay a premium fee to have it pumped into my television.
I have a remote control that can change the channel if I don't like what I'm seeing. One of the buttons even turns it OFF. What an amazing thing.
BitLord rocks -- it'll get a workout with the season premiere of "Doctor Who" on BBC1 Saturday night...
...and since CC just told National Review that they did indeed pull the image, it looks like I was wrong. Mea culpa.
Thanks. I caught about 15 minutes of the replay last night. Now I want to watch whole thing!
Thanks for the link. Comedy Centraldisgraced itself in the way it edited South Park. South Park made fools of the network by demonstrating their extreme hypocrisy.
