"In the 14 years we’ve been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn’t stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn’t some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle’s customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn’t mention Muhammad at all but it got bleeped too. We’ll be back next week with a whole new show about something completely different and we’ll see what happens to it."

That entire post made, like ZERO sense to me.
They lampoon everyone and everything - including every religion and themselves.
Much of the "censoring" in there (covering up with a big black rectangle labeled "censored") was to mock the whole ridiculousness of censorship itself.
PS: Here's a quote ....

South Park is a poorly drawn cartoon series that exists solely as a way to promote its creators' political opinions. Created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone, it debuted on Comedy Central in 1997, and has since gone from gross-out comedy to libertarian propaganda for the right, with occasional forays into pro-*** propaganda so the two can wear dresses [snipped]. This show has produced more memes and submemes than the last 50 years of public television combined. Along with Total Drama Island, it is also one of the only two animated shows to have ever featured a [sniped]
For a time South Park was funny and quotable for 12 year olds, but then Parker and Stone decided to turn the show into a soap box for their right-wing beliefs. Occasionally, they'll reverse their rantings when it becomes fashionable, as when they bashed Wal-Mart for the same **** Starbucks does, or when they finally did an episode admitting that Climate Change was real after a series of anti-Global Warming episodes.
Typically, every episode ends with a moral, so Parker and Stone can cover up their hack writing and use of strawman arguments while they proudly assert that they're taking the *** out of the pretentious and self-aggrandizing and promoting freedom of speech...similar to Encyclopedia Dramatica.
At the present time, there is no particular reason why anyone should continue to watch this show, other than being a diehard fan who believes watching it still makes you hip and relevant, and totally not a *****.

Pretty much covers it. It is a lot like everything else that is not for the "ignorant masses" it is so cool and outside the box because EVERYONE watches it. This gave birth to the "south park republicans" basically it is like Barney for people who can't grasp what rush limbaugh is saying. The best part of it is people keep going on and on about how the MSM is conditioning us all and blah blah blah but then those same people will turn around and talk about south park like it is the word of god (or dawkins).

I never said global warming was real. That was a snippet from Encyclopedia dramatica.
