Is anyone watching South Park? Muslim sensitivity/Muhammed cartoons

[Billy Burnett]

Cartoons of Mohammed on Fox's Family Guy sparking Muslim riots

The boys are trying to get part 2 of the cartoon pulled.

South Park decides to let the Muslim world know that they aren't involved by burying their heads in sand.

1. Parker and Stone are swinging for the fences this season

Always an equal opportunity offender, I think they are pushing themselves REALLY hard

love it.

(tuning in now, txs)

2. I love south Park....but in no way would a muslims ever riot over

South Park episode. Some of my best friends are muslims and their kids watch south park all the time, and they never censured their kids, unlike American Movie Stars.

3. I would hope not

But they did go crazy over some silly printed cartoons.

10. That's exactly the point...many Westerners think of Muslims

as group of fanatic non-reasoning folks that would react to anything against Islam depiction. But that is not a true to a least. A cartoon is one that many can tonne off, however, a newspaper can be believed by many in that it is a fact or a truth written by a journalist...and that was why many muslims felt uncomfortable with Christan Danish editor (who declined to publish Jesus pictures earlier of the year) and chosen Mohamed instead...

All of the button pushing issues of Booshworld.

6. Whoa. Either this is gonna be awesome, or these guys are getting drunk

..with power. They may be getting greedy after the Scientology episode. But damn, that was some good tv.

9. So um...

So basically the episode was about a Family Guy episode getting banned because they were going to show Mohammed. Which is what South Park is planning to do next week I guess.

So by making fun of banning something they're hoping Comedy Central will be shamed into not banning next weeks episode? Because the show ended with "That's if Comedy Central doesn't puss out" or something to that effect.

11. Thanks--

sounds as stupid as the majority of the last season. They're really reaching these days. The show just isn't very good anymore, imo.

They incisive social commentary they once seemed to be good at, seems to have vanished... Oh well. Nothing lasts forever.

12. It does bother me that it's gotten so specifically preachy

The shows are now more about the people making the cartoon, that what's going on inside the cartoon. It's a cool dynamic, and they usually do great with it, but sometimes they overreach.
