Apple Confirmed that South Park Episode “200” is taken off iTunes Store.

iTunes Store Season Pass customer for “South Park: Uncensored, Season 14” reported that they were able to download Episode “200” prior the airing of Episode “201” on Wednesday. The Episode “200” has since disappeared from iTunes Store. The controversy surrounding Episode “201” seemed to be the reason why Episode “200” was taken off the iTunes Store, Amazon Digital Download and the broadcast.

The previously available episode “200” was identical to the Uncensored version that was streamed at South Park Studios.

According to an Apple iTunes Store Representative, South Park Episode “200” was indeed taken off the iTunes Store citing the iTunes Usage Rules:

Apple reserves the right not to post or publish any materials, and to delete, remove or edit any material, at any time in its sole discretion without notice or liability.

It is unclear if South Park Episode “200” was taken off the iTunes Store by Apple or by request from Comedy Central. Episode “201” was scheduled to be made available on iTunes Store this Saturday April 24th, 2010. It is unclear if and when Episode “201” will be made available for purchase.

At the Amazon Video On Demand, Episode “200” is also unavailable.

South Park: Season 14 Episode 5 – “200” is absent from iTunes Store.

UPDATE:
One reader commented that “200” was available at iTunes Store, but now it’s gone (see comment). Can anyone else confirm?

For sure I thought I saw South Park: Season 14 Episode 5 – “200” on the iTunes Store a few days ago. I just checked iTunes Store and now “200: is not available. Can someone confirm if “200” was ever made available on iTunes Store?

South Park: Season 14 Uncensored on iTunes Store.

The signs say that Comedy Central might be pulling “200” and “201” out of circulation for good.

Comedy Central Pulled South Park Episode “201” Off The Air Amidst Controversy.

UPDATE:
It is also possible that Comedy Central wouldn’t be airing both “200 and “201” anymore. In addition to that both episodes might never be allowed to stream at South Park Studios. Episode “200” is now unavailable on iTunes Store.

Comedy Central has pulled South Park Episode “201” off the air, they will be showing “You Have 0 Friends” instead. At this point I cannot confirmed if Comedy Central aired “201” on Thursday night at 10:00 PM, the usual Thursday slot for new Episodes of South Park following the Wednesday Premiere and Midnight Encore. Usually South Park Studios provides stream tho the broadcast version of new episodes shortly after it premiers on Comedy Central. Within a day the uncensored versions are made available for streaming. Unfortunately Comedy Central has decided not to allow South Park Studios to stream Episode “201” in its broadcast and in its original (uncensored) version.

South Park fans also unable to watch the Episode “201” at South Park Studios site due to Comedy Central’s disapproval. Instead, fans of the show are downloading “201” from numbers of sites that provide the Episode recorded from its original broadcast on Wednesday April 21st, 2010.

Comedy Central is certainly choosing the safest path to walk on, even though it proves to be unpopular among South Park fans. Comedy Central has yet to release any official statement regarding its decision to censor the episode. In the end Comedy Central must have believed that censoring and pulling off the Episode off the air are the right thing to do.

If you feel compelled to say something to Comedy Central, please do so in a civilized manner. Remember that The United States of America values the Freedom of Speech. Comedy Central has the right to censor any South Park Episodes, and you have the right to tell them how you feel about it.

Comedy Central does not approve Uncensored version of South Park Episode 201.

UPDATE:
Jon Stewart defends Matt and Trey.

UPDATE:
South Park: Season 14 Episode 5 – “200” is no longer available on iTunes Store. It is possible that the “current version” of the episode is pulled by Comedy Central. Some readers confirmed. It is also possible that both Episodes “200” and “201” will never see the light of day anymore.

UPDATE:
Matt and Trey release a statement regarding the “201” controversy.
http://www.southparkstudios.com/news/3878

We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn’t some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle’s customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn’t mention Muhammad at all but it got bleeped too.

UPDATE:
Want to file complaints to Comedy Central? Here’s the link.

According to South Park Studios, Comedy Central deliberately bleeped out all mentions of Muhammad from the “201” Episode. In addition to that Comedy Central prohibits South Park Studios from streaming “201” original version that lacks of the audio bleeps. South Park Studios promises to post a version of the episode as soon as possible per Comedy Central approval.

“201” is the second part of a two parter, following the 200th Episode aptly titled “200” which aired a week before. In “200” the mention of the name Muhammad was not bleeped out.

Comedy Central is certainly picking their battle carefully, but not necessarily wisely. Buddha was seen sniffing Cocaine in “200” and “201” while Jesus was said to be viewing Internet porn in the 201st Episode.

More on this.

Screenshot of the Episode player for archive purpose.

Comedy Central would not approve “201” to be streamed uncensored at SouthParkStudios.com; thus the episode is currently unavailable for streaming on the official site. Comedy Central also doesn’t want you to download the episode from sites such as MrTwig.net/SouthParkFiles.com or any other South Park related sites. What can you do? What would you do?

“We Apologize that South Park Studios cannot stream Episode 201 at this time.

After we delivered the show, and prior to broadcast, Comedy Central placed numerous additional audio bleeps throughout the episode. We do not have the network approval to stream our original version of the show.

We will bring you a version of 201 as soon as we can.”

There is this little thing called “Freedom of Speech” in the U.S.A., so don’t take it for granted. If you feel like complaining to Comedy Central, please do so through this link.

2010-04-01: South Park is Cancelled thanks to records complaints to FCC.

South Park is Cancelled!

Just hours after the premiere broadcast of “Medicinal Fried Chicken” episode, FCC received records complaints filed by viewers all across the United States. Primarily the complaints are centered around the partial display of male genitalia (Scrotums, also known as “Balls”) in the episode. According to sources in FCC, there has never been such outrage from the viewers.

“This time the complaints are legitimate,” according to the FCC source. “The complaints are actually coming from millions of viewers. Usually we received thousands of complaints on a single subject from the same 22 viewers over and over. We fined Howard Stern heavily thanks to 13,673 complaints filed by 8 listeners who didn’t really listen to the show,” added the FCC source.

For many fans this first day of April, 2010 will live in infamy. South Park is no more!

Comedy Central has yet to release official statements regarding South Park cancellation.

Matt Stone and Trey Parker are not available for comment for they are too busy counting all the money they earned for the past 13+ years profitting from South Park. According to people close to Stone and Parker they are expecting more money coming in from the sales of South Park: The Complete Thirteenth Season – Uncensored DVD and Blu-ray set.
