I just don’t buy it. It’s too perfect, and the episode worked too well. I don’t know if South Park needs the publicity, but a lot of people I’ve talked to (my uncle, my friend Chris, me) forget it’s good, forget it’s on, and then rediscover it for a few episodes… so maybe they do need the attention. I don’t think the episode would have been as good without the bleeps. And it works with their sensibilities.

If you don’t know what I’m talking about, then Fuck You, and South Park drew a bear costume, said the Prophet Muhammed was in it, and some website claimed they shouldn’t be surprised if the creators of the show were killed. So Comedy Central censored the Part Two of the episode, by even bleeping the word Muhammed.

Maybe it all really happened, but there was a scene where the celebrities who have been made fun up by South Park want to give themselves Muhammed’s power to not be able to be made fun of, and when Tom Cruise gets that power they put that big CENSORED block around him, that they had been putting on Muhammed the whole time. So that seems to have been already written in, unless they had Tom Cruise turn into whatever they had Muhammed look like. I just don’t buy it. If it isn’t a hoax I’m going to lose a little respect for Matt Stone and Trey Parker for not coming up with it.

I think even the cost of having to pay back the city of New York for the extra security at the Comedy Central building would be worth this hype. It’s a great gag to convince everyone it’s not a gag, and to never, ever admit to it.

And it wasn’t even that good of an episode. A better way to deal with the Muhammed thing is to have some Middle Eastern-looking guy in South Park (maybe his car breaks down, or he’s on vacation) and his name is Muhammed – which would be okay to portray – and everyone mistakes him for the Prophet Muhammed – which is apparently not okay to portray - and the overreacting would write itself; maybe even have a cameo of some Hispanic guy named Jesus. Oh my god, the second coming, Jesus (Jeez-us)  has returned… ‘My name is Jesus (Hey-zeus)’ And Jesus, living in South Park, would be offended that everyone forgot he was already there. Did they already do that? Maybe. Whatever. Who cares. Next week they’ll do something about the NFL drafting a walrus, or immigrants from England having to show their ‘papers.’ If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read a newspaper for fucks sake.

1. people are stupid, you too Huff post…

South Park made fun of Glenn Beck. And an example of why I fucking hate people: Huffington Post headline, “South Park” takes on Glenn Beck…

• Turns out Eric hates (Wendy) and as a result devotes all his time to creating and promoting crazy conspiracy theories about her time in office. Sound familiar? He even wrote a book that claimed to be about how the school is suffering under her leadership, but was really just 500 pages of him calling Wendy a slut.

Sound familiar. They’re idiots. It shows they know nothing about South Park, or Glenn Beck. They’re not ‘taking on’ Glenn Beck. They just made fun of someone that’s all over the place right now – and yes he does use his radio show to promote his TV show to promote his books… lather, rinse, repeat. Glenn got off easy; the South Park guys would have Ariana Huffington getting gang-banged at a bathhouse by a bunch of old republican senators because she’d end up being a transvestite illegal alien doing anything he could to stay in the country. Hmm, I call Copyright on that…

**I didn’t link to the story, even though they have some of the video there, because their website is always so god damned slow I don’t want you relating that stupid site with this one. And Ariana has a stupid accent. There, I said it. It’s finally out there.**
