I just might be wrong about this. I was watching Southpark today ( Season 5 – Super Best Friends ), and guess what – Prophet Mohammed was a character in it! Now this was waaay before the Danish cartoon controversy ( which, as far as I remember was first criticized for having depicted Prophet Mohammed, followed by the way in which he was portrayed). The issue caused so much debate that Southpark actually had another episode where Prophet Mohammed’s image is supposed to appear, but is replaced by narrative cards, like in those old silent movies. Now what I don’t get is, how did Southpark and comedy central managed to get beneath the radar, if this issue was so huge – how come they didn’t get noticed earlier? Either I am really mistaken, or there’s some case of overlooking going on here. Anyone reading this, please watch the above episode to see for yourself ( That is, if at all you watch Southpark ). Do tell me if I am mistaken.
