There are a lot of things people say about them, but not speaking their mind isn't one of them. They will call it as they see it.
Reason: What was the response to the Mel Gibson episode you did in 2004? In “The Passion of the Jew,” two of the boys feel cheated after paying to see The Passion of the Christ, visit Gibson in his Malibu mansion, and demand a refund. You portray Gibson as generally paranoid, raving, and insane.
Parker: It was way ahead of its time, I’ll tell you that. Years ago we had Mel Gibson drunk, getting arrested by a cop, and smearing shit on stuff. That totally came true.

I read this on Reason earlier today. You beat me to the post.
It really is amazing how Mel Gibson in "The Passion of the Jew", turns out not to be a caricature but rather his actual persona. They nailed that one two years before anyone actually saw it coming. They deserve a Nostradamus Award to put on the mantle next to their Peabody Award.
That episode was hysterical. Cartman as the fuhrer, Kyle cringing in the movie theatre as the fake Aramaic was spoken on screen amid wails of anguish.
"We go to movies to be entertained. Not to watch a guy get tortured for 2 hours." And of course the requisite line where the boys tell what they learned:
"We should focus on what Jesus taught while he was alive, not how he died."
As for the Muhammad episode, I always wondered why the had to make it To Be Continued...
Now I know why. Make Comedy Central pay for two episodes. Truthfully, I'm glad that Doug didn't allow them to do it. The islamofascists might have actually tried to hurt them. Then we would lose many more decades of hilarious stuff.
