Screw you guys, I'm going home.

I have always been an avid fan of South Park. Arguably one of the most controversial and satirical shows on air. They have never limited themselves in bringing up subjects that other shows fail to do. That is why I enjoy watching them. Matt Stone and Trey Parker have done quite a lot in free speech in the media-world, but even they couldn't do what everyone was hoping would happen. A Muslim activist group threatened the network of the creator's safety before the episode was aired. With that, an episode was pulled for the first time yesterday and this is what the creators had to say.

Matt and Trey:
"In the 14 years we've been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn't stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn't some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. We will see what happens."
