Grin And Bear It

It's Not How You Look On The Outside

It's Who You Are On The Inside, Muhammad

Audio: Berger & Prescott publish podcasts on Facebook. They now face West, so when they fart, it wafts in the general direction of the Middle East, via Arizona.

The controversial story line was a two-parter... The second half aired Wednesday with audio bleeps added by the network after the program's depiction of Muhammad in a bear suit in the previous episode triggered a warning from an extremist group.



The episode guide for # 201, (Original Air Date: Apr 21, 2010) said: Angry celebrities, violent ginger kids and Mecha Streisand are about to destroy South Park and all anyone wants to know is, “Who is Eric Cartman’s father?”

Co-creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker reacted immediately.

In the 14 years we've been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn't stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn't some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle's customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn't mention Muhammad at all but it got bleeped too. We'll be back next week with a whole new show about something completely different and we'll see what happens to it.

Comedy Central has declined to comment, but a spokesman said neither episode is available online. That's normal, a contractual delay in posting to the South Park website. But it remains unclear whether they eventually will be, and whether they'll be the original or censored versions if they are.

Jon Stewart reacted, too.

On Showtime's 2006 mini-series, "Sleeper Cell," radical Muslims, who are planning a terrorist attack within America, first feel compelled to kill a charismatic young Muslim cleric they consider too radical.

The imam's message: The struggle Islam commands in the name of Allah is against your own nature and darker impulses, not any other person, nation or ideology... True jihad is personal, not political.
