Goooooodamn! That would be fucking perfect lol. Even if they were just pulling our leg and it turned out to be somebody else. Cartman’s reaction would be comedy gold.
The new and improved Barbara had me lol’ing something fierce. I want to say maybe Garrison could be Cartman’s uncle? The two “hands” look like they went through a war together of some kind? Perhaps Mr. Hat is hiding something about the identity of Cartman’s father to protect him of their family’s past?
I’m anxious to see how it’s going to get resolved! Excuse my ignorance but are people still bent out of shape about that whole Muhammad shit? It made me laugh everytime when the citizens of Southpark would question themselves… “oh… can we do that?”

I’m not so sure people are bent out of shape about it as they are afraid of the possible repercussions. They tried doing this with the family guy spoof on south park a while ago and comedy central still refused to show it. I mean it’s one thing to take a chance on financial investments, but basically, if comedy central guesses wrong, people could die. It’s kind of hard to argue in favor of creativity when other people’s lives are on the line.
Though to be fair, they did reference the super friends episode in last nights episode and nothing happened when they aired it back then.
Still, odds are comedy central won’t do it.
Gigan Barbara killed me to death
If cartman ends up a jewish ginger, I will never stop laughing, ever again
it * would [/] explain cartman’s quest for money all of this time.
That’s my other guess too lol!
Well, since it’s such a huge secret and they showed Muhammed right after he asked who his dad was, that’s my guess.
Might not go over too well with Muslims though, so maybe it’s a longshot.
Fuck the Muslims. Get over it.
You know that’s exactly what South Park is saying right? Still doesn’t mean the network will air certain things.
This episode should have been an hour. And I don’t want to wait till next week to have it resolved.

I know. The network is irking me with their pussiness.
that episode was fucking TOPS. it wasn’t overproduced and all the cameos and old gags had the same charm as they did seasons ago. very well done.
I liked how they actually dealt with these issues. They even said things like “Muslims dont care if Jesus is made fun of” or had Buddah doing blow (which lol’d me) and they have no problem throwing every jewish stereotype and racial slur at the viewer, but you can’t even mention Mohammed or muslims get angry (which I feel is a violation of free speech).
Muslims need to realize that even if a few people say something about their prophet, it doesn’t mean the entire population believes it or stands by it, and more importantly if they react to it in a stupid manner, it does nothing but make the rest of the world look down upon ALL muslims with disdain (which is also unfair). I feel that in the next few DECADES, this is a problem that will arise many more times, and they seriously just need to grow the fuck up and realize that questioning religion and religious leaders is a part of life these days, and is a right that every human being has.
It is a violation of free speech, and it’s pretty much terrorism in its truest form:

And Muslims know what’s what. American Muslims watch TV like anyone else so they know how things go here. The Al Qaedas and such are willing to kill thousands of America, and drag hundreds of millions of civilians into a war because they don’t like how America set up a military base close to Mecca 20 years ago. A base which was important in making sure that the Soviets didn’t take it over. The real people to blame here are the UN and Europe in general for not just flipping all the people outraged over that Danish (or Dutch?) cartoon that erupted into controversy. If shit goes down because of this episode of South Park, you can bet your ass that the American people would rally around Matt and Trey, and around their first amendment rights. Europeans failed at standing up for freedom, and that’s the reason that this is even still an issue.
It’s true. Hell there was one part where Stan said “But we promised Jesus!” where Randy replied “Jesus doesn’t matter when Muhammad is involved!” But the thing is that making fun of Muhammad is a “sensitive issue” because you do have those angry fucks that go ape shit if anything short of nice was talked about their prophet. At most Christians/Catholics would bitch about Jesus being made fun of… Muhammad people just go bat-shit crazy on you and cause death.
Although I’m not sure why they didn’t go crazy during the Cartoons Wars II where it was a DIRECT ATTACK of THEIR character towards the end when they “retaliated” with that “Americans’ like to poop in your face” skit.’
its a horrible thing to say, but people need to stand up for their rights in this matter, as I truly believe the muslims are fighting a losing battle here (it’s the 21st century, not 400 BC).
Sure, violence WILL happen. But you have to fight back against that too. Nobody said it would be an easy battle. Look at other times in history where vital things were dealt with (the IRA in ireland, slavery during the civil war and civil rights afterwards, womens rights, etc etc etc).
What would have happened if blacks had just said 'shit man, we want change and they hose us and attack us with dogs and beat us. I guess we should just let them have it their way"???
Seriously, i know tons of muslims that live here in north america that realize some people take it too far. I DO understand that it’s somebodies religion, and people take that shit hardcore (kinda like how fucked up some of the fundamentalist christians get over shit).
Randy drawing the stick figure is something i wondered about ages ago. What would happen if you drew a picture of mohammed as a stick figure. Is it mohammed? At what point does it go from stick figure to mohammed.
The dutch comic was a joke in poor taste, i agree…however the paper that printed it should have stood up for their right to at least print it.
I can totally see a TRUE war erupting over how some of the hardcore muslims deal with shit, but sadly it would be a war they would not win in any way, shape, or form
Hpw is that a “sadly”?
Actually, it’s not a violation of the 1st Amendment. Legal point of the day: only a state actor (i.e., the government or someone acting with government authority) can violate your constitutional rights. Comedy Central is not a state actor, and thus can censor whatever they want.
But…the rest of what you said is absolutely right. Western Europe pussed out with that Dutch cartoon. But it’s not the first time they pussed out and something bad happened as a result. See, Hitler, Adolph.
