Here's one thing I don't get. If Matt and Trey really were censored by CC on Kyle, et al's speeches, why not just release a transcript of what was said?

Again this isn't some huge scheme or trick. All sides have released official statements explaining why what happened happened.

I went to see if Episode 201 was available through iTunes, it isn't. And Episode 200 is no longer available for download (I got that one last week).

Seriously, what in the name of fuck do they think will happen over this episode and why? Theo VanGogh was killed over something way more hard hitting than this, and even that was practically an isolated incident. They're really making a far bigger deal out of this than it is and in turn are portraying extreme Islamists to have way more power than they do.

I saw this on Wednesday, but just got to post now...
Pretty good, except for the bleeps. I thought they were going to send Tom Cruise to Marklar.

I don't think it is hacked, is it? The other site where the complaint stemmed from is revolutionmuslim. Has anyone clicked the contact us link? The email address is ifukhizazzhrd69@gmail.

Although Netflix has listed the last day of streaming South Park seasons 1-10 for May 1st, they already pulled the "Super Best Friends" episode. It was still up on Thursday when I watched it, but it's down now.

How pussified is Comedy Central that these losers scared them into self-censoring?
It's not even that the terrorists have won, it's that wannabe terrorists have won.
A group called Revolution Muslim, which by most accounts seems less a terrorist cell than, metaphorically speaking, a couple of guys living in their parents' basements, managed to scare Comedy Central this week into censoring South Park for mocking their religion, or rather, the ban in some quarters of depictions of the prophet Muhammed.
The Anti-Defamation League, which has tracked the New York-based Revolution Muslim, says the group has no more than about a dozen members, is known mainly for spouting anti-Semitism, handing out pamphlets on the sidewalks of New York and picketing mosques that it thinks aren't radical enough. The founders are converts to Islam, including one who previously was Jewish and associated with a group called, no joke, Jews for Allah.
I know: How do you parody something that's already self-parody?

Will 200 & 201 be uncensored when they make it to dvd/bluray? The controversy should die down by the time this season will be released sometime next year.

Not only will the controversy be dead, but there'll be a uber special edition of SBF, 200, and 201 released! It's part of the marketing conspiracy that doesn't exist.

Posted this in the Simpsons thread, but the chalkboard gag for tonight's episode was a nice little shout-out
"South Park -- We'd stand behind you if we weren't so scared"
