SOUTH PARK: Censorship

[campylobacter]

Go Matt & Trey!

Comedy Central pusses out AGAIN over Mohammed depiction.

I am so effing sick and tired of creative expression being censored to protect people's "delicate sensibilities". Warning folks that something's Not Safe For Work or inappropriate for kids is one thing; cowering because you're afraid of "offending" someone is another.

Taken to censorship's most extreme level, should I mince around and wear drab, gray clothing because I'm afraid someone might be offended by the color green? Or wear a burka to prevent you from the undisciplined impulse to rape me? Or stop typing "OMG" in my comments because I'm taking the name of your deity in vain?

Grow a backbone, people. This crap that "oh noes teh Muslam extremists iz gonna terrorize us" is just LAME.

Muslims are some of the gentlest, kindest, peace-loving, and open-minded people I know.

I hate South Park. It offends me. So here's the thing....I JUST EXERCISE MY DEMOCRATIC RIGHT to TURN IT OFF. I abhor censorship J.

Exactly!

Did the extremists see the grand irony of fundamentalist Muslims watching South Park in the first place?

THIS.

I haven't watched South Park in forever, the last ep I saw was the Stargate one.

I wonder what the 'Gate address is to Imaginationland?

I love that Matt & Trey have the guts to mock those who think they cannot be mocked, especially Scientologists.
