They did not do this, no they bowed down to the same broken system that they have protested against in the past. I wouldn't like that my favorite show would be gone, they wouldn't like being sued for breaking contract, but they would have had pride and integrity on the way out. But they could have kept there promise of, and I'm paraphrasing 'If we dont show Muhammad, then south park will be gone forever', and just stopped making it. Of course im sure they were strictly forbidden to show him by Comedy and Viacom. But the fact of the matter is, that by censoring Muhammad for the sake of a satirical poke at the hypocrisy that is freedom of speech, Matt and Trey missed an enormous opportunity to make a statement that would have had more meaning and impact on the world then anything they have ever done or will ever do. Sure right now ill bet some of your are rearing to fire up at me about how i missed the satire and dont know what I'm talking about, some of you may even state this without even reading this far ha ha. The entire time I was expecting them to show him in the end, but that didn't happen. The Real disappointment was the fact that throughout the episode they censored the name and image of Muhammad, and the speech about him at the end. (I thought it would have been to perfect for it to have been chef, then he could be in his Vader suit all like 'Cartman, I am your father') The lesser of my disappointment was the fact that Cartmans dad (wont spoil just in case) is dead, so he can have no impact on the development of the show and essentially, nothing changed. I just watched the new episode of south park that i had been looking forward to since the cliffhangers left the week prior, but when the credits rolled on this episode i found myself so extremely disappointed.
