Are there hypocrites at Comedy Central?
Banned by Comedy Central from showing an image of the Islamic prophet Mohammed, the creators of “South Park” skewered their own network for hypocrisy in the cartoon’s most recent episode.
Creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, were so upset when they were told by Comedy Central that they could not run an image of Mohammed on the comedy show - they instead, during this Christian Holy Week, showed an image of Jesus Christ defecating on President Bush and the American flag.
Comedy Central also pulled a March rerun of an episode of “South Park” that mocked the religion of Scientology. (South Park creaters have a petition here)
So.
Mohammed = Bad.
Mocking Scientology = Bad.
Jesus defacating on the US President and the US Flag = Good.
I’m not a religious person by any stretch of the imagination - - but this kind of smacks of hypocrisy doesn’t it? All or nothing, folks - all or nothing.
