No, private censorship would be for all these eternally offended folks to not watch the show and make the concious decision to not watch it in the future. Instead they bitch and moan, and draw more people to watch it in the first place.
No one ever censors something they agree with.

Wrong. This is a GREAT example of a free market in action. South Park went out of their way to offend Catholics (and they didn't need that offensive side show for that program). The HUGE number of offended customers caused their owners to pull the show. Bravo! Viva the Free Market!
