The “South Park” creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, have issued a statement in response to Comedy Central’s decision to alter an episode after a Muslim group’s warning:
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.

And that slime, John Leibowitz, of “The Daily Show” has the conceit to regard himself as edgy.

In the end - they are cowards. Easy to stand up for “free speech” when it does not cost you very much...

I was following the other thread on my way home, and was hoping it was a joke, but this really stinks.

This is why Islam is incompatible with our system of government and freedoms.

Maybe it will be in its proper format on the website.

More than anything, I’m very curious about what Kyle said. I was surprised that they beeped THAT.

My thoughts exactly.

I figured they added the long bleep to the final speech as a mockery to the rest of the bleeps.. But CC added it? WOW!

Chickenchits! This same group of people have no problem making fun of Christ and putting him into a bottle of urine for “art’s sake” but run like the dickens at the name of Muhammed. Hypocrites at Comedy Central!

I wonder how long it takes until it is leaked. Just like the uncensored image of Mo from "Cartoon Wars".
