It's VERY funny, and I'm no South Park fan.

TeleAddictus...

Seems that the episode from that site was pulled too...

romanhans...

It was moved because of hackers. The full story -- and the episode --

Scotius...

I will NEVER pay to see a Tom Cruise movie. Then again, I
can't think of a good reason to watch one free either.

Fragile Warrior, F'loonslayer...

I think it's time for everyone who hates mirthless drones (Tom Cruise) write
a little note to Viacom about what THEY will be boycotting in the future
since Viacom obviously doesn't believe in the First Ammendment.

BTR1701...

I don't much like the idea of them yanking an episode because one snotty
star gets his nose bent out of shape but the 1st Amendment has nothing
to do with this. It only guarantees freedom from government censorship.
Viacom is a private company and can air (or not air) anything it likes.
The Constitution doesn't apply.

I think it's time for everyone who is going to wail about the First
Ammendment to make sure they have a clue what it is first. In fact,
I'll give you that clue for free: the first Ammendment is a check on
the power of the government. It has nothing to do with Viacom's

When did it ever exist? Do you honestly think an apprentice carpenter
in 1791 could have gone around saying whatever he wanted, getting it
printed in the local newspaper without fear of being fired because he
might lose his boss a lot of clients? Do not believe that some local
printer might have refused to set his popular but dirty collected
limericks because the local church, also a client, might object?

Frankly, I think our freedom of speech is as "true" as it's ever been -
and far more powerful given the advances we've seen in communication
technology.

scheduling of South Park repeats.

Sure, write a letter to Viacom complaining about the decision - but
don't discredit yourself by trying to suggest it's a First Ammendment
issue.

Taylor...

FORCE Isaac Hayes to stay on the show for the duration of his contract
and while ON his contract, make the Chef character a member of NAMBLA
and make NAMBLA be some kind of parody of Scientology including that
RIDICULOUS enormous building they (Scientologist) live/work in.

anotherwriter...

Did you all read the rebuttal from Matt Stone and Trey Parker -
omigod, it's too funny:

especially this:

"So, Scientology, you may have won THIS battle, but the million-year
war for earth has just begun!" the "South Park" creators said in a
statement Friday in Daily Variety. "Temporarily anozinizing our
episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your
pitiful man-bodies... You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble
bid to save humanity will fail!"

Viacom, Yahoo, web-search, Microsoft, etc. All towing the lines because
they are terrified of losing markets or lawsuits. Its unfortunate.

Mitchell Holman...

Lawsuits filed by a government with no respect
for anyones privacy, at that.
