Comedy Central Draws the Line
With South Park. Apparantly, its just fine to show cartoons of Jesus pooping on people and President Bush pooping on people, but you cannot depict anything that resembles Muhammed, because its offensive to show an 11th century child molester, no matter what he does.
I had originally thought that last night’s South Park episode was censored because Matt Stone and Trey Parker, the show’s creators, did the stunt because they wanted people to think that Comedy Central were against free speech. Well, it turns out that Comedy Central really did censor their own TV show.
I repeat my earlier call to boycott “Mission Impossible 3” which is a Paramount movie that Tom Cruise, noted and whacky scientologist, threatened not to promote unless Comedy Central pulled a recent episode about the origins of Scientology. Paramount and Comedy Central are both owned by Viacom.
Michelle Malkin has full details, including a video of the show that shows the censorship.
