We recently received an email which was appropriately resting in our junk mail folder. We felt very strongly that when you censor art because somebody has an issue with it, whether it be terrorists or a Sunday school preacher, we devolve back to an era where burning books and destroying rock and roll records were the norm. We originally posted this video because, unlike them, we are not afraid of terrorists, Al Qaeda, Talaban or suicide bombers. Comedy Central has refused to acknowledge the leak nonetheless.Those of you who came to see the unedited South Park episode 201, I must regretfully inform you that we have been forced by the pussies that be to take it down. This copy was then leaked to the public and can now be found through various websites. However, in January 2014 a 4chan user noticed that the completely uncensored 201 episode was actually available on the South Park Studios servers, although inaccessible, and was able to be downloaded in high definition using rtmpdump. Additionally, it is not available on the South Park Studios website, due to Comedy Central's refusal to release the episode uncut. It has never been re-run on Comedy Central. However, this has been repeatedly denied by Parker and Stone.Īlthough the censored episodes appear on the season 14 home video release, the uncut episode remains unreleased in any official form. Many viewers assumed this was a meta joke on the part of the creators. When the episode was originally aired, the entire speech after "I learned something today" was censored. All you need to do is instill fear and be willing to hurt people and you can get whatever you want.
Don't you see, gingers, if you don't want to be made fun of anymore, all you need are guns and bombs to get people to stop. If there's anything we've all learned, it's that terrorizing people works. It was because of the magical power of threatening people with violence. Throughout this whole ordeal, we've all wanted to show things that we weren't allowed to show, but it wasn't because of some magic goo. KYLE: That's because there is no goo, Mr. It was Kyle's speech, which, like the creators said, never mentions Muhammad once. Trey and Matt also have stated that the big thing they were focusing on was animating Mecca-Stressiand, not Muhammad.Īt first, only one aspect of the uncut episode had surfaced. These episodes also caused the banning of "Super Best Friends", which showed Muhammad in his uncensored form, originally with no controversy. In "201", however, the following things were censored:
In "200", the only censorship done was swearing. Muhammad's image was shown in "200", which is considered blasphemous and offensive to Muslims.
This seems like a small thing, but it caused series creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone to receive death threats from radical Muslim groups. The celebrities want Muhammad's (The Prophet of Islam) "goo" because he is the only celebrity able to be shown without being made fun of. Both of them follow Tom Cruise and many other celebrities on the show teaming up to destroy South Park. "200" and "201" are two Season 14 episodes of South Park that were banned after their original airing.
