South Park Episode "201"

South Park released a two part episode entitled "200" and "201". It sparked controversy for its depiction of Prophet Muhammad. The episode is banned until further notice.

What is your thoughts on this?

Why?
I thought we could make fun of Muhammad

Hulu has to revise the whole episode because of the use of Muhammad's name.

Doesn't this show insult everything? So what?

I find the whole thing stupid. They insult and make fun of EVERYTHING. Why the hell should they have to do anything different for just this? If you don't like the content, just don't watch it. That's the beauty of being human, you don't need to watch things.

The should show muhammed getting gang-raped. That'll show'em.

OK, so Buddha's allowed to snort crack, Jesus gets to watch internet p0rn, Krishna gets to change into Neil Diamond, and the founder of Mormons gets to use ice breath, but they can't even say Mohammed's name even though the episode doesn't make Mohammed do ANYTHING offensive nor show him even though they did in an earlier episode?

That's the whole point of the episode, the hypocrisy of our sensitivity towards Muslims.

Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Mormons, Atheists, and even Scientologists have all been openly mocked in increasingly crude ways with no significant repercussions, but to even mention Mohammad is forbidden.

Yeah, but you do know that the episode is actually banned from being watched on South Parks website, even censored, and you probably won't see reruns for a while. Also, the final speech at the end made by I think Stan wasn't supposed to be censored, and I believe they said the speech at the end didn't even relate to Muhammad.

SRZ, the speech was made and every time the word Muhammad was spoken it was bleeped. Like they said, too many bleeps were made throughout the episode and if it is put onto the website (which it says it will on May 22nd) then the bleeps will stay there, unlike other episodes which are uncensored.

No, I'm saying that the speech at the end never once mentioned Muhammad according to what the ones who actually made the episode said. Also, the episode is completely banned. It's not allowed to be shown on the website at all, and isn't allowed to be aired again as of now.

I find the whole thing ridiculous. Other shows can make fun of religion, too. Some have made fun of Islam and some have used Mohammed's name. Why can't South Park do the same? It's America. Unless these episodes specifically violate national law, then I see no reason to stop Comedy Central from airing them without restriction.

This whole "special censorship" deal is exactly why the USA is going down. The very rights that our forefathers set down the government has stripped away from the American people, bit by bit. Which one's next? Our 4th Amendment rights?

Lol I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's a slippery slope for other violations of the Constitution (as it's a company doing the censoring of their own material and not the government), but yeah, it's still pretty dumb.

At first the censoring was funny but after awhile it got kinda repetitive.

@Super Racer Z: I heard the same thing. It's pretty stupid for them to censor something that had nothing to do with Muhammed. I guess I can understand censoring Muhammed...but the morals speech? Come on.

Kyle's speech at the end was supposedly about intimidation and fear, probably referring to the "warning" they received from Revolution Muslim.

it's a breach of freedom of will, they wanna make fun of jesus, we have every right to have a joke at mohammed, just don't take it too far on both sides
