You Magnificent Bastards!


So Part II of South Park's 'Cartoon Wars' aired last night on Comedy Central. The catch, the whole thing had nothing to do with Family Guy but rather censorship. Trey and Matt are fucking geniuses. They get everyone all hot and bothered over Family Guy and choosing cartoon sides (this blog was no exception) and then sucker punch us with the real issue.

So the question at hand is this: did Comedy Central actually censor the cartoon Mohammed?

I can see it both ways...
1) CC was okay with the image, but Trey and Matt still showed the black text in order to make a point about censorship after having their Trapped in the Closet and Mary Bleeding from the Ass episodes pulled after protests from Scientologists and Christians, respectively.
2) CC pussed out and Trey and Matt concocted an elaborate 2-part episode as a big, "Fuck You!" to the directors.

Either way, I've said it before and I'll say it again, South Park rules...

Yep, Comedy Central censored it:

Obviously, I don't need to tell anyone here what CC has allowed on South Park (and with great hilarity). Needless to say the word spineless turds to describe Comedy Central execs is an insult to spineless turds everywhere.

Don't ever forget which way Hollywood leans and who they kowtow to. Bitches...
