I'm curious to see whether CC will allow ^ on the show again. They didn't the second time around.
 
What's a little bit fucked up is that Google pulled all "South Park Jesus Mohammed" images. I know because I posted one the other day on some site. This will have to suffice. Did the Buddhists and Christians also send death threats?

Sounds exactly like what SP expected, I reckon. Matt & Trey were outspoken in support of the cartoonist when the shit hit the fan a couple years back and hugely critical of the media (including CC) for not showing the cartoon and basically adhering to the threats of the extremists. Seems like they aren't ready to give up that fight--and I suppose the nuts aren't, either.

By the way, South Park has had an image of Mohammed in the intro of every episode this season. Nobody cared.

I want to threaten the people who threatened the South Park creators.
 
Muhammad, a member of Revolution Muslim, repeated the group’s assertion that the post was a prediction rather than a threat. He said that the post on the group’s blog “was intended in a principle that’s deeply rooted in the Islamic religion, which is called commanding the good and forbidding the evil,”

Err, so to support his assertion that the speech was not a threat, he described it as tied to an imperative - "commanding" or "forbidding" an action. Mmmkay.

'Muhammad' now a dirty word on 'South Park'
Now "South Park" can't even say the words "Prophet Muhammad."

After last week's episode of the Comedy Central series sparked a threat (and yes, it was certainly a threat) from a radical Islamic website, the network has cracked-down-for-their-own-good on creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone during last night's continuation of the show's storyline.

For those who missed the drama, the show's 200th episode last week mocked the one "celebrity" that the series has been largely unable to depict, the Prophet Muhammad, who was hidden from view in a bear costume. A U.S.-based website RevolutionMuslim.com then warned Parker and Stone they could end up like Theo Van Gogh (the Dutch filmmaker who was murdered by Muslim extremists after depicting Muhammad on his show) and even posted the address of the show's production office. The site has since been shut down.

Last night, "South Park" continued the controversial Muhammad storyline, but with a key difference: every instance of the words "Prophet Muhammad" was bleeped out, making the episode practically incomprehensible, especially to anybody who missed the previous week.

The character of Muhammad was once again also hidden from view, covered by a large block labeled "censored."

A Comedy Central spokesperson confirmed it was the network's decision to bleep the words.

The Muhammad content is also not available on the South Park Studios website.

Ironically, "South Park" apparently shows an image of the Prophet Muhammad briefly in its opening credits that has gone largely unnoticed.
