The folks at "South Park" take no prisoners.
Consider Wednesday's episode, which went after Bill Donohue, president of the conservative Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights. Donohue has been a severe critic of the animated series on Comedy Central.
The episode mixed Easter and "The Da Vinci Code" in typically wacky fashion. The plot involved the current pope and Jesus. The story ended with Jesus cutting Donahue in half with a flying ninja blade.
In other recent controversies, Donohue has called the co-creators of "South Park," Matt Stone and Trey Parker, whores and cowards.

Messing with Trey and Matt is like Scott Tenorman messing with Eric Cartman.

Funny how they made fun of Mohamed once, for about 10 secs and never have replayed it

Donohue has called the co-creators of "South Park," Matt Stone and Trey Parker, whores and cowards. It's hard to get those terms out of people like Donohue. He would surely never call an actual whore 'a whore', instead reserving the word for men more alpha than himself.

Mohammed was one of the "Super Best Friends", and yes, they showed him.

It was the network that censored that.

This episode was so over the top it would be a real stretch to say the skewered anyone. It was one of the sillier ones for sure.

And I am sure he said it right to their faces, right? Not from any great distance...
Really big man!

Messing with Trey and Matt is like Scott Tenorman messing with Eric Cartman.Exhibit A: Lianne (Trey's former fiance). First they use her name for the horse in Cannibal, then for Cartman's crack whore mother.

Jesus killing a representative of his own church with a spinning blade and then putting on sunglasses? Jesus installed a rabbit as the head of his church?
Yes, South Park is very conservative.
As someone told me on another SP thread where misguided Freepers were worshipping Parker and Stone: South Park does more to advance conservative values and morals than anything else on television.
I won’t argue the point, but if it’s true then all I can say is everyone should kill their television - none of it is fit for consumption.

Whores, maybe... heck, they’d probably wear the accusation as a badge of honor... but cowards, they ain’t. NOBODY takes on most of the topics that Trey and Matt routinely pounce upon... and NOBODY who does approach those topics ever does so with such politically incorrect zeal.
