South Park and Family Guy

On a side note pertaining to this issue.....is everyone aware that Comedy Central is no longer allowed to air the scientology episode starring tom cruise, r. kelly, and travolta........a big stink, and a possible law suit was threatened it they didnt pull it...its a shame, R. Kelly singing "tom cruise come out of the closet" might be one of the greatest commedy-spoof lines in tv history...

As far as i heard Tom Cruise threatened to cancell any promotion (talk shows, etc.) for his upcoming movie Mission Impossible:3. And since the same company, Viacom i think, happens to own both the studio and the network, they put a kabosh on re-runs just for Tom.

As a Scientoligist level 48 or whatever, shouldn't Tom Cruise be able to go back in time and prevent the episode from being created?

"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year war for earth has just begun! Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies. Curses and drat! You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail! Hail Xenu!!! [Signed,] Trey Parker and Matt Stone, servants of the dark lord Xenu."

I couldn't stop laughing when i read this...

Banned by Comedy Central from showing an image of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, the creators of "South Park" skewered their own network for hypocrisy in the cartoon's most recent episode.

The comedy — in an episode aired during Holy Week for Christians — instead featured an image of Jesus Christ defecating on President Bush and the American flag.

In an elaborately constructed two-part episode of their Peabody Award-winning cartoon, "South Park" creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker intended to comment on the controversy created by a Danish newspaper's publishing of caricatures of Muhammad. Muslims consider any physical representation of their prophet to be blasphemous.

When the cartoons were reprinted in newspapers worldwide in January and February, it sparked a wave of protests primarily in Islamic countries.

Parker and Stone were angered when told by Comedy Central several weeks ago that they could not run an image of Muhammad, according to a person close to the show who didn't want to be identified because of the issue's sensitivity.

The network's decision was made over concerns for public safety, the person said.

Last night's episode was absolutely hilarious... What a better way to show network hipocracy than, well, the song and dance at the end?

The Al Qaeda retaliation video was brilliant.

The ironic part is that South Park already had Mohammed as a character a few years ago. I'm sure that episode has been lost down the memory hole, along with the Scientology one.

That was Super Best Friends, right?
"Moses, we need to figure out a way to kill an Abraham Lincoln statue!"
"Uh, uh, uh... giant stone John Wilkes Booth?"
"So Jesus, using his master carpentry skills, built a mold..."
