Ok, so I was innocently browsing the headlines of Yahoo entertainment trying to get a clue as to whats going on with Fred Savage’s career, when a headline caught my eye.
"South Park" Parked by Complaints
Link, but I don´t know how long this will be good for: http://news.yahoo.com/s/eo/20060103/en_tv_eo/18055;_ylt=AkZ5fjBDwac30B.3vshURs22GL8C;_ylu=X3oDMTA4dDg2MG9mBHNlYwMxNjk3
Apparently the afformentioned league is pissed off about an episode of South Park entitled “Bloody Mary” making fun of Catholic beliefs.
So, of course, the “justice league´s” reaction to this innocent display of free speech on the part of the South Park creators is to demand that the show be censored, never again shown, and prohibited from being sold on DVD.
What’s the problem? is the CLRCR afraid that if somebody tears down their advertising icons they won’t be able to convince young children to submit to their anal probing with threats of eternal hellfire and damnation?
The part about this whole thing that really gripes me is more the tone of the article than what it actually says. Of course the fucking thing is written from the perspective that South Park has done something wrong and deserves to be punished.
WHAT THE FUCK?
THIS IS CENSORSHIP THE CLRCR IS PROPOSING!
THEY’RE TRAMPLING OVER THE MOST BASIC AMERICAN RIGHTS!
WHY DOESN´T ANYBODY NOTICE THINGS LIKE THIS?
The article should read: Catholics are pissed off again about free speech, but becasue this is a free country, the people have told them to go fuck themselves.
But no, instead the general public just sits there and takes it up the ass because they’ve been trained to “make exceptions” for religious people.
I mean, it all comes down to a simple case of action-reaction. The religious people say what they want to say. Nobody’s stopping them even though it is offensive to many. The makers of South Park say what they want to say and the religious people DENOUNCE their right to say it.
This whole argument about religious tolerance is completely absurd, especially because the religious people demand to be treated in a way they refuse to treat others. And as far as being offensive goes, yes, it does piss off people of other religions to sit and hear Catholic propaganda all the fucking time. That’s bad enough without these fuckheads coming along and trying to silence other perspectives.
They think it’s their right to terrify children and espouse their bullshit. Newsflash, it´s not, and it would be very refreshing if some members of the modern media started making note of this in the public forum.
THE END
P.S. I´m going to send a copy of this article to the CLRCR and see if they have the balls to respond to me.
