'South Park' aims at censors, hits Bush, Jesus

Ohmigod! They've censored Kenny!

I applaud Parker and Stone for building the edited episode, complete with it's blasphemous depiction of Jesus taking a dump on the flag. Why? Because it showed that the execs at Comedy Central have no problem with offending Christians or patriots, just a problem with a depiction of Mohammad catching a football.

There's a word for this kind of behavior: dhimmitude.

I certainly hope that the South Park gang finds a new broadcast home when their contract runs out. One that's not run by craven cowards like the execs at CC.

Banned by Comedy Central from showing an image of the Islamic prophet Mohammad, the creators of "South Park" skewered their own network for hypocrisy in the cartoon's most recent episode.

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
