It has now been several years since South Park aired the "controversial" episodes "200" and "201".  They decided that they were going to show the prophet muhammed and instead, were treated to a series of long and unending bleeps that completely inhibits viewing of the episode.  Comedy Central and its parent company Viacom have allowed "South Park" to make fun of every other religion, political position, and influential individual on the planet but, suddenly, Muhammed is something we can't touch or talk about because of a few individuals who threatened violence.

This is not just an issue about seeing a cartoon. America is about free speech and standing behind those who exercise that speech whether you agree with it or not. Comedy Central didn't just show their cowardice with censoring episodes 200 and 201; they allowed threats to commit violent acts to stop the exact type of thing South Park has done to every single group on the planet and thus reinforced the idea that if you threaten violence and may potentially commit violence than you can get your way. We have to stop this type of behavior immediately or possibly encourage more of the same behavior from a larger number of groups and orginizations. Is this really what we want? Sign this petition to further impress upon Viacom and Comedy Central that this is an inexcusable limitation of the inalienable freedom of speech.
