Comedy Central has contradicted boasts by conservative religious groups that they were responsible for pressuring the Viacom-owned cable network to yank an episode of South Park from its regular rotation. The episode, titled "Bloody Mary," which originally aired on Dec. 7, concerns the father of one of the South Park tykes who visits a statue of a bleeding Virgin Mary in the hope that it can cure him of his drinking habit. Protesters took their case to Viacom board member Joseph Califano, a former Secretary of Health, Education and Welfare, who called the episode "appalling and disgusting" and said that he would discuss it with Viacom chief Tom Freston. But on Monday, Comedy Central executives insisted that they had not yanked the episode, but had only removed it from the annual South Park marathon "in deference to the holidays." In a letter to viewers who expressed outrage that the channel had caved in to pressure, the executives said: "Despite misleading claims from those who would like to claim victory, we have not permanently shelved the 'Bloody Mary' episode from future airings due to outside pressure, nor will we exclude it from future DVD releases. ... As satirists, we believe that it is our First Amendment right to poke fun at any and all people, groups, organizations and religions and we will continue to defend that right."

Ok, like at the bottom FIRST AMMENDMENT!!! But as usual it is Governed not full freedom. All they did was just copy from real life!! I mean damn. When you have people flock to a damn tree or window that people claim to have jesus or mary inside of it need to be slapped! Its like those damn pictures that you look at for hours and hours waiting for a picture to appear and to only be dissapointed by seeing a boat or a tree instead of a naked chick. But people need to chill out and worry about the future and more about their life than stopping what is on tv or on the radio or porn.

WOOHA!

I thought it was 5 times. Probably why it never worked. I use to do it in the bathroom when I first heard about it back in the first grade. Best part was I was going to a Catholic school when I did that! Even there it didn't work.

WOOHA!
