Matt Parker and Trey Stone are Going to Hell
Or somewhere worse? Gasp!! After the Tom Cruise packing fudge scene, they moved right into organized religion (aka ancient mythology).
This is a picture of the leaders for every major religion, including a likeness of Muhammad (kinda) – this was how episode 200 actually showed it:
The 200th episode tries very hard not just to piss off celebrities, but pretty much all major religions as well. If you assume everyone that self-identifies with one of these religions was not happy, then that’s:
Christianity (includes Mormons): 2.1 billion
Islam: 1.5 billion
Hinduism: 900 million
Buddhism: 376 million
Offended Celebrities: what… maybe 50?
4.9 billion people who were offended (probably).
That leaves:
Secular/Nonreligious/Agnostic/Atheist: 1.1 billion… that thought it was hilarious (I expect). Naturally, not all of these people in the total counts have seen the episode, but it shouldn’t be long after they see this post that they’ll watch it.
If you haven’t seen it, check it out. It’s worth it, and I’m not even a South Park regular.

The script re-introducing Super Best Friends:
Announcer: In the great hall of the Super Best Friends there are assembled the leaders of the world’s biggest religions:
Jesus
Buddha
Krishna
Muhammad
Lao Tzu and Joseph Smith
…and the Mighty Seaman
Their mission… to right that which what is wrong and to serve all mankind.
Stan: Jesus, all we are asking is that you bring Muhammad to our town for like an hour.
Jesus: My son, much has changed since you were last here. Muhammad cannot make public appearances.
Buddha: We simply cannot risk any violence from the Muslim people.
Stan: Aww… not you guys too! Jesus Fucking Christ!!
Matt and Trey talking about publishers pussing out (quite the head fucker):

Islamic Web site warns ‘South Park’ creators
By Ty Tagami
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

A Web site that promotes Islam is warning the creators of the television cartoon “South Park” that they could be killed for airing a recent show that depicted the Muslim prophet Muhammad in a bear suit.
The site says in an entry posted Thursday that the authors of the irreverent cable show, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, could wind up like Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh. He was killed by a radical Islamist in 2004 after making a movie that featured a beaten, naked Muslim woman covered in writings from the Quran.
The post includes a photograph of van Gogh with a knife protruding from his chest.
“We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably wind up like Theo van Gogh for airing this show,” says the site, revolutionmuslim.com. “This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will likely happen to them.”
The post encourages readers to contact Stone and Parker, and apparently provides addresses for their production company and for Comedy Central. (The Web site was not functioning Tuesday afternoon.)
In a blog post Monday, CNN says it contacted the author of the warning, Abu Talhah Al-Amrikee. He said the addresses were provided to give people the opportunity to protest rather than as a threat, according to CNN.
The anti-”South Park” post includes audio from a sermon in which the speaker says assassination is justifiable punishment for those who defame Muhammad.
The man delivering the sermon, U.S.-born preacher Anwar al-Awlaki, is in hiding in Yemen and is on a list of al-Qaida leaders targeted for capture or assassination, according to CNN.
CNN says Al-Amrikee, the author of the post, said the al-Awlaki sermon was included in his post to remind Muslims that insulting the prophet is a severe offense for which the punishment in Islam is death.
