Saddam Hussein is being forced to watch a cartoon version of himself have a homosexual relationship with Satan the devil in the movie version of "South Park."
That according to Trey Parker and Matt Stone, the creators of the animated series, who spoke at the Edinburgh International Television Festival.
Parker and Stone say U.S. Marines are making the ousted Iraqi dictator watch the episode "repeatedly."
"I have it on pretty good information from the Marines on detail in Iraq that they showed him the movie," Stone said, according to the Sun newspaper. "That's really adding insult to injury. I bet that made him really happy."
Saddam is portrayed in "South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut" as the devil's homosexual lover. The film, which features Saddam and Satan trying to take over the world, was banned in Iraq when it debuted in 1999 for characterizing Hussein as a homosexual.
Stone and Parker also confirmed earlier reports that actor Tom Cruise threatened to withdraw from all publicity for "Mission Impossible III" unless Paramount, the maker of "South Park," canceled a repeat showing of an episode making fun of Cruise and his ties to Scientology.

Comedy Central at first succumbed to the threat, but then did an about face, and rebroadcast the Emmy-nominated program containing the constant refrain, "Tom Cruise won't come out of the closet."
"If they hadn't put this episode back on the air, we'd have had serious issues, and we wouldn't be doing anything else with them," Stone told Variety.
Any word from C.A.I.R. or the purple mafia yet?
Did they also make him watch the episode where he makes himself the Prime Minister of Canada?
Satan was offended!
Make up your own Barney Frank joke.
So the Iraqis essentially agreed that Saddam and Satan were going to take over the world, and that's OK. It was the homo part they didn't like.
This is Cruise being told that he's jumped the shark and that everybody knows it.
Aren`t most muslims which is why they do everything they can to cover up women so there is less competition for men?
How cruel and unusual. God forbid they put panties on his head too.
Why is this bastard still breathing our air! He needs a little of his own nerve gas.
Oh, the Humanity...!
That bloodthirsty son of a bitch who murdered hundreds of thousands of people should have been released to an angry mob in Iraq on day one when he was found.
Not living in some nice cell shooting his mouth off.
The Iraqis didn't have anything to say about it, just the big man himself. And I suppose the Devil.
I'm sure the ACLU will find something wrong with this and "rise" to Saddam's defense.
good anecdote, but I don't think the Marines are guarding Saddam. In fact, I thought I read he was in Iraqi custody. Somebody will correct me if I'm wrong.
There might be Marines helping the Iraqi soldiers.
Just read DUmmie Funnies. DUmmies are upset over our torturing poor Sadamn Insane in this manner
Nothing like performing ones duties in an unprofessional manner.
Oh, the humanity!!
