Title: You know what would be funny?
Post by: Gumba Masta on April 23, 2010, 10:42:24 AM
Taking a hate sermon of an islamic priest and subtitle it with Rick Astley.
I'd do it myself if I actually could figure out how to use video editing software without erasing half of my harddrive.

That would be epic.
Especially if the subtitles were in both English AND Arabic.

How are Trey and Matt ball-less? They made fun of something that they KNEW would get them death threats!

Seriously? Did you not read how Comedy Central basicly screwed them over on last week's episode? Nevermind how Comedy Central is now blocking having 201 or The Super Best friends available on South Park Studios?

Trey and Matt don't have any control over what happens to their product once it's in Comedy Central's hands.

That's what I'm saying. CC screwed Matt and Trey. Calling Matt and Trey ball less isn't understanding the situation.

The ironic thing is, when I saw the episode and the extended bleeps at the end, I laughed out loud, figuring it was Trey and Matt lampooning the censorship. Let's face it, they didn't need the moral speech at the end; they got their point across, but Comedy Central bleeping the whole speech just made the point so much more clearly.

I retract my statement. However, this censorship from CC happened before (Cartoon Wars I think... the one where all the residents are burying their heads in the sand), so why did Matt and Trey try it again knowing it would be censored? They're brave for doing it but it almost seems futile. They probably can't break contract otherwise they would have circumvented CC by now to show offending material. So what next? This is the year 2010, in my opinion having a network own you should be a thing of the past, just like having a label own a band. Go solo, even though it might be a pain. They have enough of a following to do it don't they?

The episode is ABOUT the fact that these things are censored.
Title: Re: You know what would be funny?

Could South Park move to HBO or Showtime?

Noooo!
Carlin did that and they killed him...it took them 30 goddamm years, but they killed him, with money and fame!

The genius of Trey and Matt is that they set the show up in such a way that any action on the part of the network to censor them essentially makes their point.  When they made an episode about scientology being full of litigious frauds, scientology proved themselves to be litigious frauds by filing legal action.  Now, when they point out the abject cowardice of western media in the face of threats from savages, the networks proves its cowardice by censoring them.  Andy Kaufman couldn't have pimped his audience better than this.

Seems like Thunderf00t has decided to weigh in on this:

[yt]kEvwfvRpqCA[/yt]

Note that he praises the Enlightenment Revolution.  Yes, the same Enlightenment Revolution that allowed, for the first time in human history, free markets and personal liberty to flourish in ways unprecedented in any time before or since.
Savor the irony.

Wtf, did I really just watch a video where thunderf00t basicly said it would be ok to launch a genocide against the Islamic world in the name of "reason?"

This video was actually pretty good until  5:10 - 6:06 where he bashes Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and not Viacom, acting as if they were responsible for filing the take-down notices themselves.

As Shane already said:  "How are Trey and Matt ball-less? They made fun of something that they KNEW would get them death threats!"

"The ironic thing is, when I saw the episode and the extended bleeps at the end, I laughed out loud, figuring it was Trey and Matt lampooning the censorship. Let's face it, they didn't need the moral speech at the end; they got their point across, but Comedy Central bleeping the whole speech just made the point so much more clearly."

and: "The episode is ABOUT the fact that these things are censored."

Not to mention the fact that when you submit a show to a company, you sell the rights as well (hence the words "copyright to Viacom" not "Copyright Trey Parker and Matt Stone"), meaning those two wouldn't have even have had a SAY in the matter.

Yea, I should have thought that through beforehand. So along with the other reasons for the episode, it also serves as a self-fulfilling prophecy (since they knew it would be censored).
