Bleeping South Park

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/ondeadline/post/2010/04/south-park-censored-after-warning-from-islamist-group/1

Comedy Central censored Wednesday’s episode of South Park, blocking and bleeping depictions and the name of Islam’s Muhammad, following a warning posted by a group called Revolution Muslim. In a related story, I am not writing any joke making fun of this group.

The group did not make a specific threat, but expressed that South Park’s creators could become victims of violence for the episode. Producers have tried to protect the characters, especially since – oh my God, they killed Kenny! “You bastards!”
