I love how South Park is so important to Comedy Central that they are allowed to make fun of the fact that Comedy Central is too scared to play these episodes uncensored.

Just stay up and watch or record the 12:00 midnight episode.  I am fairly certain they don't have to use the same censorship then and no bleeps.   I recorded last weeks at midnight instead of 10:00 and it had no bleeps, I watched it just before last nights and noticed the difference the first time they said M(bleep)med.   :)

I'll have to try that also, the ending was funny the first time but after everyone else started becoming just bleeps it got old.

I'm glad Scott Tennermen made his return. That made the episode  ;D

No difference between the 10 and 12 showings.

i didn't like episode 200 that much, but when combined with 201 it was all together pretty darn funny. the ending kinda ticked me off though. i was planning on going on southparkstudios to watch it uncensored but i guess i can't for a while...

and yeah, they still censor the midnight showings. i just don't think there were any bleeps at all on last weeks showing.

i don't get why they couldn't even say "Mohammad" this week, when they said it a whole bunch of times last week. hell, before the 9/11 attacks they even showed him...

"South Park" airs censored episode after threat

By Alex Dobuzinskis Wed Apr 21, 10:30 PM PDT

Satirical animated TV show "South Park" beeped out the words Prophet Muhammad and plastered its Wednesday episode with the word "CENSORED" after being issued a grim warning by a U.S. Muslim group.

The irreverent comedy show on Comedy Central also substituted a controversial image seen last week of the Prophet Muhammad in a bear outfit with one of Santa Claus in the same costume.

It was not immediately clear if the move was a bid to tread carefully following the warning against the "South Park" creators, or if they were poking fun at the fuss.

The little-known group RevolutionMuslim.com posted a message on its website earlier this week warning creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker "that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show."

The website posted a graphic photo of Van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was killed in 2004 by an Islamic militant over a movie he had made that accused Islam of condoning violence against women. It also posted a link to a news article with details of a mansion in Colorado that Parker and Stone apparently own.

Most Muslims consider any depiction of the founder of Islam as offensive.

The website warning followed the first in a two-part episode of "South Park" a week ago in which Prophet Mohammad was depicted in a bear outfit.

"South Park" has a history of biting satire against politicians, celebrities and the media. The two Colorado filmmakers are known to often work on "South Park" until just before they air, enabling them to react to current events.

In Wednesday's new episode, Jesus Christ was depicted watching pornography and Buddha was portrayed snorting cocaine.

The head of Revolution Muslim, Younus Abdullah Muhammad, 30, defended the Web posting by his group.

"How is that a threat?," he told Reuters earlier on Wednesday. "Showing a case study right there of what happened to another individual who conducted himself in a very similar manner? It's just evidence."

According to U.S. law enforcement officials, the federal government rarely prosecutes threat cases. The First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution gives broad protections to free speech, and what constitutes a threat is often subject to interpretation.

Muhammad described his group as an alternative media outlet with about 20 active posters to the website. He said the group "didn't tell anyone to go to their houses and conduct violence" against Parker or Stone.

Comedy Central, a unit of Viacom Inc, has declined to comment on the controversy.

Comedy Central inserted additional bleeps before airing the show.  Matt & Trey had received death threats.

In the 14 years we've been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn't stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn't some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle's customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn't mention Muhammad at all but it got bleeped too. We'll be back next week with a whole new show about something completely different and we'll see what happens to it.

Due to contractual agreements, Parker and Stone aren't even allowed to stream the uncensored version on their own website.

I thought the episode was brilliant, anyways.  When they sucked the juice out of mohammed and Tom Cruise became "Censored," well  ;D ;D ;D

the topper to that was one of the kids telling Tom he had Seaman on his back and he became uncensored. the best thing to happen to the show as far as ratings go...........
