What the hell is that even supposed to mean? If I were Matt and Trey, I wouldn't take that as a show of support at all. I'm reading that as "Well, we'd like to support you, but we're big pussies who kowtow and do exactly what our superiors tell us to without question, so we're not going to."

It's a joke. The fact that they added that to the episode shows their support.

So it's still possible that a terrorist snuck into your home and deleted the episode?

No no no no. Terrorists and/or wannabe terrorists aren't the bad guys here. It's corporate 'fraidy cats and/or backroom marketing dealings.

I'll go get my broom!

I also have a Cox cable DVR and it hasn't been deleted from mine.

Do we realistically think this will affect the DVD release? Or is it all just hype.

I accidently deleted the episode after I watched it. I still have 200 though and ended up getting a torrent of 201 for the time being. Pussy Central better not leave these episodes off the DVD/BD release or edit them any further.

I have South Park set up for a season pass, it recorded 201 on Wednesday night, I checked on Thursday. By Sunday when I went back to rewatch it (after reading about it disappearing on other peoples DVR's), the episode was gone. I have South Park set to save all episodes till I erase them.

I don't know what to think, why would cable comapanies only do it to a select area?

Hey guys, new here, I was searching google to see if cox erased anyone else's south park.

They erased mine and my buddies at work. Not cool, needless to say i will be contacting them and am now strongly considering a switch to uVerse.

The controversy over the Episodes 200 and 201 would have died down quickly if it weren't for this:

Time Square bomb scare: Street vendor alerts cops of smoking car bomb
Alison Gendar, Rocco Parascandola, Kevin Deutsch and Samuel Goldsmith
New York Daily News
May 2, 2010

Read the full article here

A quick-thinking street vendor and three heroic cops stopped a madman from detonating a car bomb in the heart of Times Square Saturday night, law enforcement officials told the Daily News.

The T-shirt vendor - a Vietnam vet - told Officer Wayne Rhatigan there was smoke coming from a Nissan SUV on the southwest corner of 45th St. and Broadway about 7 p.m., sources said.

Rhatigan approached the car, saw the smoke, and sprang into action.

"I did a lap around the vehicle. The inside was smoking," Rhatigan told the Daily News Saturday night. "I smelled gunpowder and knew it might blow. I thought it might blow any second."
I've read that the SUV was parked very close to Viacom headquarters. If that is the case, then this is VERY scary because it's not the first time it happened: six years ago, Dutch filmmaker Theo Van Gogh will killed for doing a film critical of the treatment of women in Islamic society, and of course we know about Salman Rushdie literally having to live a life in seclusion after the publication of The Satanic Verses.

Was Matt Parker or Trey Stone in the Viacom building at the time? If they weren't i don't see how the car bomb incident has anything to do with South Park.

Viacom owns Comedy Central, the cable network that airs South Park. And Viacom headquarters are located in Times Square.

Given the untimely death of Theo Van Gogh back in 2004, my suggestion is sadly NOT far-fetched.

Wasn't the Viacom building address one of the ones posted on the web site run by the islamofascist douchebags?

Viacom Headquarters address is not a secret. A Google search shows the address on the first page results.

Of course it is no secret. But that was not really the point of them listing it though, was it?

Another bump to add additional information to the above theory: reports this morning state the SUV used was bought "about 3 weeks ago", which is exactly in the timeframe of the first part of this two-parter.

Re: South Park - "201" - 4/21/2010

Is there any published evidence that the car was parked in front of Viacom's offices?

Vehicle was parked in front the Viacom building.

Low chance this was a coincidence imo.

No way - not a chance - total coincidence.

Even though it was a failure, this thing took far too long to plan and execute in order for it to have been in retaliation to a show that aired only 2-3 weeks ago.

Maybe, but that doesn't mean the specific NYC target wasn't picked until 3 weeks ago.

Not to mention, you don't exactly get to pick your parking spot in Times Square - on a weekday, even finding one spot is challenge, on a Saturday, forget about it! The probability of him landing a spot in front of the Viacom building on purpose is so astronomically small, that there's no way it could've happened.

He attended bomb making classes in Pakistan, then returned to the US and bought the SUV. So he was in the motions of making this bomb long before Episode 200 aired.

The fact that the potental car bomb was in near Viacom's offices is coincidence in my opinion. The target was Times Square in general.

He could have just kept driving until one opened up.

Or other people he was working with parked other cars in the spot throughout the day before he came along and moved in.

Also he may have been training for months (learning how to build bombs), but wasn't given his target till a day or two before.
