I’m not really a fan of South Park, but I’m rather irritated with Comedy Central. This story by Michelle Malkin explains why. To get a full sense of the irony involved with this, watch the video clips that she links to. Which is more offensive, a picture of Mohammed handing Peter Griffin from Family Guy a helmet made of a salmon, or a picture of Jesus saying, “Look at me, I’m Jesus! Would you like me to crap on you, Mr. Bush?” followed by a (cartoonized) depiction of just that happening? Well, guess which one Comedy Central refused to air?
Stone and Parker managed to make a brilliant point with this episode, and Comedy Central’s refusal to show Mohammed but to depict Jesus in this way really shows that they (unlike the FOX executive in the clip) are willing to cave in to demands by one group that threatens violence if crossed.
