Complaining to Comedy Central

[Normalgamer]

Can someone tell me the whole story here? What exactly got censored? I couldn't see the episode, it was pulled where I live, and it's not on their website either. How bad is the censorship at play here?

The episode beeped the word Mohommed, Blanked his image and then put a consitent beep over the summing up that south park likes to do at the end of every episode. I had to download a torrent of the episode to see it (im not supporting piracy but there wasnt a lot of choice) The incredible amount of beeping was just over the top but to remove it completly from other countries scheduled programming is mad considering everything else that south park has gotten away with

Doesnt matter if you like or hate south park, I think its more a matter of if this sort of behaviour is the way we want tv to go?

-cough- Mind sharing that torrent?

OT: It's crap, we're letting them walk all over us right now. Terrorists 1, Us 0.

it doesn't matter.

it's freedom of speech, it's comedy.
and if you don't like it don't watch it.(or just don't watch that episode)

Has anyone seen what Jon Stewart had to say about it?
I found it quite funny, definitely worth a watch. I'd imagine this is much worse than just showing Muhammad...

The problem is though, it is a massive rule in their religion not to depict the faces of past holy people, one such person was muhhamad. South Park have taken it slightly too far and the Islamic groups have over reacted too.

that rule only counts for gods.

which he is not.
in fact he has been illustraded millions of times, by muslims mostly

I came across this recently. Any ideas on whether this is legit or not, 'cause I would find that rather hilarious:

I think it because they genuinely feared for there lives, thats all really.

Guys, just think this in your head: "South park reduced Muhammad to the likeness of hte word 'fuck".

Think about this idiocy and lack of balls by Comedy central as how southpark demeaned Muhammad, without anyone getting wise to it.

Just seen the episode now and I'm going to complain, I can understand censoring the image but bleeping the word mohammed just ruined the episode.

I think it's because your country's colse proxmimty to the middle east, and people from there, are fucking crazy
