I'm glad that American Catholics have enough clout in this country to get the South Park people to pull this episode, no government censorship required.

A textbook display of consumer-motivated industrial behaviour. The South Park people put something out, their audience spat it back, the South Park people promised not to put it out again. Well done, free market.

No doubt there are a many interest groups who can only dream of having such power. American Catholics have it. That must bother some people.

Are you glad that the Taliban had enough clout in their country to get all kinds of things pulled from their citizens?

The audience didn't spit it back, South Park has amazing ratings, season after season. Only angry folks who never watch the show spat it back, the folk that watch the show will continue to watch.

Meanwhile Mr. Donahue will have his palm out, accepting money, and forever looking for the next photo op to fill his needs.
