Pissed me off too, why didn't they show the replay? I had to get it from an "unofficial" source.

Looks like you can't even watch it on southparkstudios.com yet. They have an apology up instead claiming that comedy central added the audio bleeps in after they delivered it and they're not allowed to show the original version.

If that is true, I hope they leak the original version.

Yeah, I just tried to watch it off my dvr and got that episode too. I searched and it's not even scheduled for a replay.

Wait so that entire end sequence that was bleeped out was CC's doing, it wasn't a joke? Also were we supposed to see Muhammed or did CC censor him as well.

You're not supposed to see Muhammad, that's part of the joke. I'm guessing Comedy Central censored the name. Not sure who bleeped the moral.

Muslim group warns 'South Park' creators of death
NEW YORK – A radical Muslim group has warned the creators of "South Park" that they could face violent retribution for depicting the prophet Muhammad in a bear suit during last week's episode.
The website RevolutionMuslim.com has since been taken down, but a cached version shows the message to "South Park" creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The article's author, Abu Talhah Al-Amrikee, said the men "outright insulted" the religious leader.
The posting showed a gruesome picture of Theo Van Gogh, a Dutch filmmaker who was shot and stabbed to death in an Amsterdam street in 2004 by a fanatic angered by his film about Muslim women. The film was written by a Muslim woman who rejected the Prophet Muhammad as a guide for today's morality.
"We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo Van Gogh for airing this show," Al-Amrikee wrote. "This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them."
The posting listed the addresses of Comedy Central's New York office and Parker and Stone's California production office. It also linked to a Huffington Post article that described a Colorado retreat owned by the two men.
CNN, which first reported the posting, said the New York-based website is known for postings in support of jihad, or holy war, against the West and Osama bin Laden.
Al-Amrikee told The Associated Press that the posting was made to raise awareness of the issue and to see that it does not happen again. Asked if Parker and Stone should feel threatened by it, he said "they should feel threatened by what they did."
He said he was disappointed that publicity about the posting focused more on the potential danger to the producers but admitted, "I could shoulder some blame" for it.
He said he "can't answer that legally" when asked if his group favored jihad. But he praised bin Laden.
"We look up to him and admire him for the sacrifices he has given for the religion," he said.
Last week's episode, the 200th for the cheeky and often vulgar cartoon, was intended to feature many of the personalities and groups that Parker and Stone insulted during the series' run.
In 2006, Comedy Central banned the men from showing an image of Muhammad on their show. They had intended to comment on the controversy created by a Danish newspaper's publishing of caricatures of the Islamic leader. Muslims consider any physical representation of their prophet to be blasphemous.
Instead, "South Park" showed an image of Jesus Christ defecating on President Bush and the American flag.
Comedy Central and the show's producers would not comment.

The apology is still up. I was hoping to catch it this morning myself.

But I do not think that CC created those three really long bleeps at the end. That was comedy gold and it just doesn't strike me as after-the-fact censoring.

To make things worse, it's not up at southparkstudios.com either.

I loved the reveal of Santa in the bear costume. I've read that some are calling it a copout, but I think it was genius. If it wasn't really CENSORED in the bear suit, is the jihad still on or not?
