Durka, Durka Jihad !

South Park creators, Matt Stone & Trey Parker, are facing death threats from Muslim wacko's and censorship from the very people who should be fighting tooth and nail with them, namely Comedy Central.

Make's you wonder, just what the fuck has happened to the Americans ? The same lot that screamed blue murder about French resistance to military action in Iraq and Afganistan is now capitulating to a bunch of anonymous internet based faith-heads out of of fear.

If you haven't seen the latest episode of South Park, it must be the most censored 20 minutes of cartoon ever shown on TV. It was so heavily censored, especially the last five minutes, that I assumed it must have been part of the joke. I mean come on, this is hilarious, it must be intentional - right ? But apparently not.

If I can host some video somewhere I'll link to it here so you can judge for yourselves, but fucking take my word for it, if this isn't a prank by the South Park team, and I'm still not convinced it isn't, then freedom, artistic or otherwise is slowly going to the way of the Dodo.

If you're thinking this may well be a slight overreaction to the censoring of a cartoon, then realise that animation is by far the easiest way to get things cleared for broadcast. If we can't get shit like this on TV then what chance of real debate ?
