You know, I'm in South Park for the bitches. I really am. I didn't think I was going to get affected by all the political issues that, it would seem, get thrown around willy nilly. But this is a little scary. I mean yeah it's scary to think that Matt and Trey might actually be in physical danger, and I hope they're being careful, but it's scarier what the media and Comedy Central is doing to not only censor their work, but add oil to the fire. I was actually really shocked at how much fucking bleeping was going on at the end of episode; I don't have cable and I usually watch the episodes uncensored on South Park's website. Because of the censorship, this one isn't available, so I had to hunt down a ripped version.

Wow. Really? Maybe it's just the shocking contrast from always watching the episodes uncensored, but REALLY? If they had just left it alone, it wouldn't be a big deal. No one cares or notices Super Best Friends, and Matt and Trey are only getting stubborn about this because they've been faced with this irrational, fear-based, "thou shalt not".

I don't think what they're doing is stupid at all. I think that the enemy they're fighting - censorship - is really frightening. Especially since CC seems not to be afraid of just what might offend extreme Muslims - but the very message itself that we shouldn't BE afraid. What. The fuck.

Seriously. What the fuck.
