And for a group based in America with 20 or so people running a website to dictate what's okay and not okay to parody to be the ones to make them do it? Even more ridiculous.Īnd the fact that they bleeped out Kyle's "I learned something" speech is stupid. I think that for Comedy Central to do this, and without the consent or a word to Trey and Matt, is a little ridiculous.
SOUTH PARK BEYOND KFC EPISODE NUMBER FREE
But suddenly now it's bad? I'm an 19 year old girl from Canada and I can see why so many people from the land of the free that boasts it's right to free speech whenever possible are mad about this. And that my fellow Americans, is something we all should be willing to fight for.Įveryone knows that South Park already showed Mohammed, right? A few years ago he was shown with the Super Best Friends. Even if it means another war of freedom, with a response similar to that of Pearl Harbor if necessary. I want to push my fellow Republicans and Tea Party members to take up this stand against freedom of speech, for Islam is becoming more of a threat to are believes then any one person in are own government.Īnd if the Islamic radicals are stupid enough to kill American citizens on American soil, I hope my government will protect its people. I hope Comedy Central will find it in there American hearts to see this truth and play all there shows uncensored, including swearing which I also feel shouldn't be censored, as per are given rights as Americans. And I didn't grow in a country where millions of my fore fathers died for that freedom just to be scared out of expressing myself because of the mortal threat of death. This is more true in America then it is anywhere else in the world. It's happening today, it will tomorrow, and it will continue to happen as long as people wish for freedom. "We do not have network approval to stream our original version of the show." "After we delivered the show, and prior to broadcast, Comedy Central placed numerous additional audio bleeps throughout the episode," said a message on the site. On Stone and Parker's website,, a message acknowledged that Comedy Central had added some bleeps and that they couldn't stream their cut of part two: Mohammed was believed to have been portrayed disguised in a bear suit in a portion of the episode, though last night's episode revealed otherwise. The group posted an entry on its website that included a warning to Parker and Stone that they risked violent retribution after the episode included a satirical discussion about whether an image of the prophet could be shown.Ību Talhah al Amrikee, the author of the post, told CNN it was meant to show those offended by the depiction of Mohammed how they can voice their opposition, and wasn't a call to violence. The first part of the episode, which aired April 14, attracted protest from an Islamic group, Revolution Muslim. "Comedy Central was responsible for the bleeps and not showing Mohammed in last night’s episode," a spokesperson for the network told CNN. On Wednesday, the conclusion of the two-part story involving the Prophet Mohammed was shown with a number of audio spots covered by bleeps and images hidden by a block reading "CENSORED." Though "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have had fun with censorship in the past - including in part one of the Mohammed story, which involved free speech issues - apparently this time much of the censorship came from Comedy Central itself.
