Yup. There it is. Mohammad. Is this offensive to Muslims? Probably. Should people fear for their lives just for seeing or showing a picture? FUCK NO. I'm sure if i looked hard enough on the Internet i could find a picture of Jesus being fisted by Santa. There will always be things that you don't agree with for one reason or another. But using fear to stop people from doing something or to force them to do something is called terrorism. plain and simple. I'm sure you all know the story by now of South Park being censored over this image on multiple accounts. Some people think they should leave Comedy Central for doing this to them but i say do them one better, quit. That's right, end the single most groundbreaking show of this generation on top. I am a huge south park fan and would love the show to go on for a million episodes, but i am an even bigger fan of Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The things those men have don't for comedy are insurmountable. Alfred Packer, Orgasmo and Team America. Three of the bet comedies of the last 25 years, easily. I say they stop the show after this season, and blame the censors for it. Comedy Central will bleed money without new episodes and it will give other networks (ADULT SWIM) the chance to show 200+ episodes of gold. or at least move to another channel that has no censors (IFC). Regardless i say thank you Matt and Trey for everything and you will always have supporters no matter what happens form here on out.

Futurama Is Back!

That's right, people. The smartest comedy about red heads and robots in the future is back.... almost. On June 24th, Comedy Central will premiere two brand new episodes that may or may not be a continuation of where the last movie ("Into the Wild Green Yonder") left off. I don't know much about the episode but i do know that it is called, "Rebirth". Also, they have released ONE screenshot from one of the episodes (see above). In total, there will be 26 new episodes for the new season with all the cast and crew returning. I don't think there are words for how exited i am for this. Futurama has been one of my favorite shows since it premiered back in '99. Though ill admit that i am a huge Matt Groening fanboy and would buy anything he put out. We can only hope Comedy Central doesn't fuck this up the way they've turned South Park into a battleground of sorts between the creators and fans, and the network. Though, Matt Groening has never needed to be controversial to be funny. Kinda like Bill Cosby. And what is with this trend for Fox where they will cancel a show and then bring it back after it becomes a huge success on the internet and DVD. We all remember Family Guy doing this exact thing. Are there any other shows they should bring back from the dead? what are your thoughts on the return of Futurama? Commmmmennnnnt.
