Ok....so people are freaking the f*** out because the episode.....that blatantly TRIES the hardest NOT to depict The (Greatest) Muslim Prophet in any way, going so far as to censor a person that was seen earlier in the shows run (mentioned in context BTW) and have him in actuality NEVER appear at ALL has offended someone.
Seriously? In the reveal its f***ING SANTA CLAUS! there are pains taken to never show him and still people are offended. If one is as secure in thier faith as some claim to believe and truly be the "better man" satire should never enter in as a reason for death threats.
These extremists that were offended are the minority that give any group a bad name, a little cadre of pissants that want to rattle thier sabers at a percieved offense for nothing more than publicity, in a weeks time this will amount to so much else that South Park has ammounted to, controversy that drives up ratings and more money for Matt and Trey.

^ Here here. I absolutely lost it when he said "Swallow, come!".
I now kind of wish the Super Best Friends will get just a little more bigger roles from here on. If the actual "Super Best Friends" episode didn't make people realize just how much potential this group had as far as comedy goes, 200/201 sure did.

Didn't they get the Emmy that year for the episode?
They were nominated, but didn't win. The Simpsons won that year.
(Enter "Simpsons did it!" joke here)
Ironically enough, I saw this post JUST after I clicked on the "commentary" by Matt & Trey on YouTube for the episode they DID win the Emmy for, "Best Friends Forever." It's playing in the background as we speak.
What episode did The Simpsons win for? Three Gays of the Condor? It's the only Emmy-winning episode I can remember from that time frame, and it's probably the last episode I can even remember them winning anything for.

Upon research, it was "The Seemingly Never-Ending Story".

They won it that year for "The Seemingly Never-Ending Story". The one where Homer gets stuck in the cave and they tell this story-within-a-story-within-a-story-within-a-story.
They also won a couple of years ago for "Eternal Moonshine of the Simpson Mind" which is a damn good episode for this time frame.
I actually do really hope that this week's show goes after Comedy Central themselves, if only indirectly. Honestly, the episodes are finished so close to airtime and South Park is such a money maker for the network what do they have to lose?

Dude, the Daily Show straight up ripped CC a new one a few nights ago, and that show's episodes are made daily(hence the name). CC doesn't care what you make fun of, as long as it isn't Muhammed.

See, I watched that and didn't so much get an anti-Comedy Central vibe. More got an anti-protesters vibe.
Not to mention, Jon Stewart is more respectful of those he goes after than South Park is.

Well he definitely sneaked in several jabs at CC's shows not named South Park, Daily Show, or Colbert Report.
