Comedy Central wimps out on Matt and Trey

Comedy Central often considers itself “brave” when it comes to offending Christians and Jews, even Scientologists and Algore’s zittoheads are vulnerable. But don’t ask them to stand up to Muslims… unless it’s a minor challenge involving foosball tables, maybe.

But some harmless comedy depicting the prophet Muhammad in a bear costume? Apparently that’s too risque for the Comedy Central “liberals when its convenient.” While Trey Parker and Matt Stone were unafraid when they created last week’s episode in question, it was the network that wimped out, bleeping out all references to the Islamic prophet, and even a “teachable moment,” end-of-show speech by Kyle about standing up to bullies.

Gutless, really… and doubly-ironic since failing to stand up to Islamic extremist bullies is exactly what Comedy Central is guilty of. I guess the moral of this story is, maybe Christians and Jews wouldn’t be quite so picked-on if they engaged in even a fraction of the terrorism they get accused of by Comedy Central…

…but at least Comedy Central’s actions speak louder than words when it comes to which “terrorists” they really fear.
