Muhammad seems to be off limits, while it is "open season" on Jesus, who happens to be a "South Park" character

What's with this cr**? Let's see Muhammad!

[frankiep]

Tom, you're not fooling anyone. Come out of the closet.

[WENPEDER]

"Trey Parker...come out of the closet!"

[54skylark]

Team America ROCKED!!!!!

These guys are hysterical the way they make fun of Hollywood!!

[skaterboy]

He added that the image probably will not be shown on the DVD version either, but "I look forward to the day when we can uncover it."

Maybe when you get some b*lls

[The Iceman Cometh]

I would be surprised if the duo does not create a character that would represent Muhamed. Something like a character that always marbled out with some vague reference to who it really is.

[BossLady]

I am beginning to think that one cannot show Muhammed's image....because he does not really exist....LOL!

[ecurbh]

Ping!

I guess Comedy Central missed when Muhammad was in the David Blane episode as one of the "Super Best Friends."

Remember the old invisible man moveis from the 50's? There was just empty space with objects moving around it to portray the invisible man.


Why can't they do that on Southpark? No image, just space.

(in the shape of a pig would be nice). Why can't they have a pet pig named Mohammed?

Trey and Matt got the last laugh - they added Muhammad in the background of the opening credits ever since eipsode 2 of season 10, I think (look for the red box);

[Kolb]

You Bastards!

[Mr. Blonde]

It alarms me that someone took the time to find that out. It isn't like they were picking out MechaStreisand.

"Maybe when you get some b*lls"

Part of me is with you. Part of me knows that if I were in the same boat, I'd be hard pressed to walk. South Park is their bread and butter, Comedy Central is the gal that brung `em. I do think that I would have made a bigger stink about it, but I'm not them and I don't know their situation. I do know I would do my best to work in attacks on Islam just as they did on Scientology in the farewell to Chef, attacks that the network couldn't censor without looking completely anti-Muslim, and given their record, I expect it will happen.

The funny thing is that the noisier extremist Christian groups simply don't care any more. They have been stupidly bitching about South Park so long they miss the subtle messages from the network, and don't even get that Comedy Central has just made it clear that Christianity is fair game, but Islam is holy. If I were an extremist Christian, I would make a point of finding out who the Comedy Central executives were. Then I would do the same thing to them Islamists do to those who malign Porkhammud, making the networks fear to show Christ as much as they obviously fear to show Porkhammud now. It seems that no matter how many stories are run about the extremist Christian right, they're still not as f'in crazy as Islamists, at least, not so crazy enough as to fear making fun of their holy-of-holies on a national TV network as the networks fear to do with Porkhammud.

OK -- I had my DVR set to record the scientology episode Wed, night and got one from '99 instead. Was there a switcheroo, or did I have the wrong date?

[Liberty Valance]

It's Wed. July 19th. You've still got time ;o)

[Starter]

I think they mean Wednesday the 19th.
