Small but no less embarassing.
See I almost feel better if it is shia's doing this because I can just brush it off but when it is Sunnis .... and my sectarian side comes out
If that is the worst thing that would be said about Islam, we are getting it easy. You have no idea how many times Christianity gets insulted one way or another on UK television.
That's the funny thing. In that very episode they had...
Jesus looking at internet porn.
Moses as a giant computer program that talked like he had a learning disability.
Vishnu turning into Niel Diamond to sign a duet with a crotch-poison spewing mechanical Striesand.
Jesus Acknowledging other gods and being teamed with "false prophets" (Joseph Smith).
That's off the top of my head with regards to religion in that one episode.
They've had one episode dedicated to the catholic church molesting children, with a second episode where priests having leashes on near naked little boys was a running gag. They've depicted the Pope as a stooge over a American Bishop who orders other catholics to Kill Jesus all to hide that the first pope was actually a Bunny. They've had Jesus become so bored with his life and needing to find popularity that he throws a massive concert at the turn of the new cenutry, as well as having him help lead an assult against Iraqi's to save Santa. They've had a statue of mary pissing blood on people in a supposed "healing miracle" from god. They're mocked Christian "curing gay" camps, Christian bands, sunday school, and the birth of Jesus which they lampooned with evil Christmas Critters trying to birth the son of the devil.
That's just for Christians off the top of my head....
That's not even countering their goes at Athiests, Mormons, Jews (CONSTANTLY), scientologists, and even Islam prior to the past few years. And that's just religions.
Indeed, they had an episode earlier called "The Super Best Friends" which had which simultaneously lampooned in some way Buddhists, Jews, Mormons, Hindu's, Muslims, and Taoism (and Seaman).
Where this all started was an episode known as "cartoon wars" which was a two parter dealing with Censorship, free speech, and intimidation/terrorism (also, Family Guy). The entire first episode was basically setting up the notion that Fox was going to allow Family Guy to show an episode with Mohammed in it so everyone was afraid they were going to get bombed, with Cartman trying to get Fox to censor or pull the episode to keep people "safe" (In reality banking on the fact that once one thing is censored other groups know they too can get things censored and the show would go off the air).
The Second episode starts off with Fox censoring it, the Family Guy Writers (manatees) getting upset that they were censored and refusing to write anymore unless the episode is shown, and thus the struggle with Fox's decision. After a stirring oration about Free Speech from Stan the Fox representitive gives the show the green light just before the skit with Mohammed comes on....which consists of Mohammed and Peter putting on a football helmet with a Salmon attached ot it.
The thing is, while the Fox exec in the show realizes the grave mistake in giving into terrorism and giving into fear and censoring free speech when you've said its okay in every other situation where violence wasn't threatened, Comedy Centrals exec's didn't.
The clip of the cartoon inside the South Park episode that for storyline peices was going to run uncensored for FOX instead got censored by Comedy Central because they wouldn't allow Mohammed to be shown on the screen, making Comedy Central rightfully look like Giant Douches (rather than a turd sandwich).
So fast foward to currently with Episode 200/201, which were basically a episodes focused on harkening back to old episodes. They show the dozens upon dozens of celebrities and famous people and groups that they have slandered over the years all upset about South Park and deciding to sue them. Randy and Stan get Tom Cruise (The lead guy) to agree to not sue them, telling him they'd do "anything".
His request?
He wants to meet mohammed. This of course immedietely gets an "oooooo, um...we can't do that" type response. (Funnily enough, during one scene, one of the boys even essentially acknowledge that they have shown Mohammed before back in Super Best Friends, basically making CC look like idiots. Not surprisingly, NOW they've taken Super Best Friends out of syndication rotation).
Its later revealed they really want to get mohammed to take his powers of being the only person and thing on earth that is unable to be made fun of to make sure they're never made fun of again.
The first episode you never actually see Mohammed, with him being in a Uhaul and then supposedly in a bear suit. They did not censor his name.
After the stupid websites "warning" to the South Park creators CC has censored the very name of "mohammed" from the second show, as well as censoring his actual image, and censoring the entire boys speech at the end talking about fear and intimidation and how it was wrong.
This was of course in between making fun of gingers, having a god snort crack, having a boy pull off a stereotypical rendition of a black person with what was essentially a hand puppet, having barbra striesand as a godzilla like machine with crotch-poison, gay jokes about Tom Cruise who is later killed by being shipped to the moon.
**** Comedy Central, I'm nominating them for biggest douche in the universe those ****ing douches.
