Though my last Post here was about how I hate South Park, I will now state how this has gone to the point of which Comedy Cantral has gone nuts
Apparently, Comedy Central must really hold a grudge against Mohammad, and Matt and Trey can't upload the episode on youtube, because South Park is owned by Viacom, and Viacom hates Youtube to no end because of copyrighted content from Viacom owned programs such as Spongebob, South Park is one of these programs which have copyrighted content on Youtube, yet, if Viacom were to trace the IP adress of the account that posted the episode uncensored, finding out it was the shows creators themselves, then I am pretty sure that all hell will break loose, plugging the program entirely from Comedy Central, bringing an end to the series, of course many people believe that this will be South Parks final season, possibly because of how vulgar the content has become, and the PTC is right on their butts, I know a lot of people dislike South Park (including me, I've always thought the program was stupid), most of them being parents working for the PTC, but never has the show recieved death threats, in fact, those bleeps were not even reasonable, especially the last one
SO apparently, Comedy Central is deliberatly trying to cancel South Park, the program which made the channel huge, but I don't think it's Comedy Central that's to blame, I think that it's the channels Parent company that is to blame: VIACOM
Despite my hatred ofer South Park, I think this is just ridiculous to censor something that is not even offensive, so I sould say this:
Comedy central, either unbleep the episode or take the series off the air entirely, cause this has gotten too far!
I doubt Viacom or Comedy Central really care about offending anyone. They know that Trey & Matt will get most of the blame, anyway. Controversy is good for ratings, which means they make more money. They have no intention or desire to cancel South Park. It practically prints its own money.
I'm assuming none of you are Muslims.
How can you determine what is insulting for a true Muslim if you aren't even a follower of Islam?
No one says it
isn't insulting to them. Why should
we (non-Muslims) care about their beliefs more than anyone else's? I'm sure they're pissed, and rightly so, but that doesn't give them a free pass to threaten to murder someone.
I find it funny how you can point out "That's not insulting to Islam; they make fun of Jesus and God, and Christians don't say anything."
Again, no one is saying that. I'm saying that they've gotten no more mocking from South Park than any other religion, and yet they're the only ones who feel the need to threaten to kill someone. I find it funny how you can stand by and defend a death threat over a cartoon.
Good for the Christians. If they don't want to stand up for their religion, so be it, but if you're not an Islamist, you can't know what is and isn't insulting. That's like the musician telling the painter that his colours don't match. Sure, they're both artists, but not in the same way. Not to mention, the musician knows nothing about professional painting, so how can he determine what is and isn't good?
They do indeed stand up for their religion, in a safe, respectable fashion. Protests, boycotts, lawsuits.
And yes, I can indeed know it's insulting, because they've said it was insulting before. Quit talking down to us. The point is that they're threating to murder someone over an insult. That may have flown back in the 16th Century or whenever, but it isn't something a civilized society does, and saying otherwise is just ridiculous.
Same idea. Don't tell Muslims what shouldn't be insulting for them. If it's insulting, it's insulting. End of story.
So you're saying that the fact that they're
threatening to kill someone is justified because Muslims are somehow more loyal to their beliefs or something?
While I know that the things the South Park says/does are not really kind, I also know not to take anything they say/do seriously. The Freedom of Speech in the United States doesn't protect speech you like, it protects speech you don't like. Now there is point where people should be held accountable for what they say/do, but this is not as serious as people are making it out to be. While I feel Muslims have a right to be upset about this if they want to be, but I think that the group at RevolutionMuslim.com took their reaction a step too far. I have heard from several Muslims, spread throughout the world, who agree that group took it too far. I also give a wag of my finger
pays Steven Colbert at Comedy Central for chickening out they way they did, when they supported South Park for so many years.
Exactly. They took it too far.
This isn't about what people should and shouldn't be offended over. It's about how these offended groups react to the people who offended them, and murder is not the correct reaction.
I mean really, it looks bad on your religious group when
Satanists react better to a cartoon making fun of their beliefs than you do. :\
