Being pissed has absolutely no value at all unless you plan to fucking do something about it.  Will a bunch of mspaints of Mohammed with boobies change anything?  Who knows.  This whole 'Everybody Draw Mohammed Day' idea actually got a bit of publicity so maybe it'll actually have some influence.  As far as this community goes it was just a stupid idea that I thought might pass some slow hours at work.  Instead I get a bunch of smug, pissy kids who want to bitch about South Park or the FCC because it apparently isn't avant-garde to care about something relevant unless the vehicle for expressing your distaste is adequate. 

Don't draw Mohammed with tits, GW.  See if I care.

In which case like I said before it's kinda late to START whining about censorship, especially over a nonissue like this when the FCC allows violence but not a nipple.

I think its more likely that they'd ignore any requests to have uncensored nipples then requests to have Mohammad uncensored. Then again I'll admit I've never been quite clear on why any Islamic people get offended at all because of it. is it literally part of the religion? something that just sort of popped up?

I think everyone here can agree that censorship should be outright banned, and nobody should ever be allowed to say anything that supports any form of censorship ever again.

(See what I did there?)
I actually hate censorship in any form so I'd actually be in favor of an out right 'ban' on censoring things. I've already thought of this issue you bring up and realize its just a stupid technicality.

I don't have a plan, I was merely stating a fact that is has more value to be pissed about on a somewhat cultural and international level.
I also fail to see how drawing a bunch of mspaint Mohammed will make the FCC go "WELL SHIT MAYBE WE SHOULDN'T CENSOR ANYMORE" or even affect them in any way. They are not the ones who are gonna be affected by a bunch of people on the internet drawing Mohammed with dicks and tits, the Muslims, be it extremists or not, will. Seriously, those extremists are dicks for saying "HEY WE GONNA BLOW YOUR HOUSE", and the FCC are dicks for censoring something be it stupid or not. But please tell me how trying to be bigger dicks will somehow stick it up to the evil network execs in their suits and ties.
Not "plan of the year" material if you ask me.
The Mohammad thing is merely more immediately relevant then the issues of censorship in Iran. Admittedly due to South Park bringing it back up.


On the topic of liking/disliking South Park I've watched every episode (I do this with almost everything I watch, but that's a different personal topic that's sort of irrelevant). It always been hit or miss for me. Some episodes can be pretty funny, others are just 'entertaining' but not funny, and a few are kind of eye-rolling-ly/face-palming-ly bad.

Personally I see no problem in them bringing this topic up. If you thought it was unimportant to discuss this or related issues you would not be posting in this topic would you?.

What?  It's definitely important to discuss.  It's not the issue that's unimportant it's the "everybody draw mohammed" part of it that's dumb.

Why do people think that speaking against the OP doesn't count as discussion?  I see this a lot, somebody disagrees with the first post and then someone goes WELL APPARENTLY THIS *IS* WORTHY OF DISCUSSION IF YOU'RE POSTING, arguing against it is still discussion :/

That's why Mohammed is the best prophet. Anyone and their sister can draw Jesus and nobody has anything to say against it. People talk about Mohammed more because arguing against showing his image naturally leads to more discussion on his behalf.

Either way, the Muslims still win, and if I was actually a faithful Christian, it would piss me off to no end.

If you fucking monks wouldn't live in your pretend-relativism and bandwagon me since the beginning of the topic, you would admit that you actually think as i do. If you actually had read the OP you'd realize that South Park and KFC has NOTHING to do with the topic. Somebody just had to say it out loud. SOMEBODY should do something about this and what are you going to do about it? Exactly. I'm going to do whatever i can to stop this bullshit.

Drop in a well and die GW. IN A WELL. I mean it. Over and out midgits. Over and out. Ad sinciritum et all.
