And they say Christians are hypocrites...

This kind of hypocrisy drives me mental. I'm not sure who is to blame exactly; be it the creators or the network execs, but regardless it is sickening that no one bats an eyelid when Jesus gets flamed or is the butt of some of the most blasphemous material around... but pick on Scientology or, now, the prophet Mohammed, and all of a sudden everyone is crapping their PC underpants and wringing their hands in case the Muslims (or Tom Cruise) are offended. I am sick of these double-standards. Why is there one rule for the way you treat Christianity, and another for everyone else? I guess it is because we don't want to upset people who will respond with violence (or sofa jumping), while we Christians are expected to just sit down and take it. Go Egypt I say (minus the machetes though)! If someone stabs you in the neck while you are at church, because you are a Christian, what would you do? Smile and say "bless you my son"? No, you protest to the government, you demand equal application of the law to all religions, you express your anger through appropriate democratic means. Martyrdom is one thing - inviting martyrdom by being a sappy, milk-drinking, sop-faced doormat, is another. Just because someone is attacking you because of your faith, doesn't mean you don't have a right to do whatever you can (short of returning the violence) to stop it.

Matt Stone and Tray Parker have broken all the laws of satire by having such an obvious double standard. There are very few true satirists out there. Why? Because they never have any friends: everyone is fair game. That is probably why Seinfeld worked so well. Jerry Seinfeld has no friends, he is a self-obsessed loser - but great at satire.

Anyway, whatever credibility Southpark had as satire (if any), it is now irredeemably lost.
