In a "South Park" episode, the writers wanted to show an image of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad but their network, Comedy Central banned. The writer's deemed the network hyporcits because in the same episode it showed Jesus defacating on President Bush and the American flag, and the episode was aired during Christian's holy week. Instead of showing the image of Muhammad, they showed a message reading "Comedy Central had refused to broadcast an image of Muhammad on their network."
I actually do think Comedy Central was being a little hypocritcal because they should have the same respect for those who believe in Jesus that they do for those who believe in Muhammad. Their explanation was "In light of recent world events, we feel we made the right decision." I also think "South Park" should be pulled off the air all together. There should be a minimal number of censorship complaints for television shows.
