My Thoughts on the South Park Controversy

I've been thinking all day what to say about the whole controversy of Comedy Central censoring South Park by not allowing Mohammed to join the cast of characters. This despite the fact he's been portrayed once before.

Then Mary Katharine Ham blogs about it on Hugh Hewitt and I realized that the producers of South Park actually produced a South Park episode in real life. The reactions of people to the episode that ran, as well as to Comedy Central's censorship is as good as watching a South Park marathon.

Hugh Hewitt himself is less than impressed. He primly disapproves of lampooning a religion during Holy Week "or any other week". Why draw attention to Holy Week, Hugh?

Michelle Malkin: "Me, I was just happy to see someone, anyone, in the pop culture world confront some of the fundamental issues raised by the Cartoon Jihad for a mainstream American audience. Still would like to have seen them air the 12 Mohammed Cartoons, though..." I'm somewhat disoriented - Michelle and I agree on something?

Little Green Footballs provides a direct link to the cut portion.

Boing Boing says: "South Park's Trey Parker and Matt Stone have bested their own personal record for over-the-top satire"

But Defamer has the ultimate last word: "We look forward to a future South Park in which the First Family tries to sell a jaded vaudeville booker on their novelty act, an endless series of scatalogical and sexual combinations between the President, Laura, the twins, and deceased family dog Spot, which they proudly call 'The Autocrats.'
