Please do not go to sites such as MrTwig.net/SouthParkFiles.com to download any of the episodes. Just because you can easily download the episodes from sites such as MrTwig.net/SouthParkFiles.com, it doesn’t mean Comedy Central say it is right.

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 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.

Calling Captain Obvious, 17-inch MacBook Pro is larger than 15-inch MacBook Pro.

I thought that I would never figure this out, but thanks to AppleInsider I finally understand.

Disadvantages of the 17″ MacBook Pro

Apart from being $300 more, the 17″ version is a pound heavier than the 15″ model and 1.1″ wider and 0.7″ deeper (it’s also a hair thicker). It won’t fit into sleeves for 15″ models, and won’t fit into a variety of bags or backpacks intended for “regular sized” laptops.

Once again, thanks AppleInsider for pointing out that 17-inch MacBook Pro is larger and heavier than its 15-inch counterpart. You know how much I hate having MacBook Pro with smaller screen to be bigger and heavier than the one with larger screen. What an observation! Without this information I’d be cursing the day while trying to fit the 17-inch MacBook Pro into a 15-inch MacBook Pro sleeve.

Congratulations, Gizmodo for jumping into conclusion. At least you made a retraction.

UPDATE Again:
The post is back-up on Gizmodo.

UPDATE:
Apparently Gizmodo is deleting the post. Unfortunately I haven’t found any cached version of the page.
http://www.google.com/search?q=How+Apple+Screws+Every+Ebook+App+But+iBooks.

But there’s a copy of it posted here.

The piece was (hastily) written by Wilson Rothman.

——-

Gotta love John Grubber for being “insightful and not negative.” He’s just good at being sarcastic. Gruber pointed out the hidden Gem that Gizmodo is.

As always, Apple haters already jumped on the poorly-written-angst-driven-Apple-Hating-Paul-Thurrottesque story that Gizmodo ran about How Apple Screws Every Ebook App But iBooks. Great one Wilson, the Apple Haters took the bait. What? It’s not a bait. Well, at least you made a retraction and left your original post.

Maybe Gizmodo should give Paul Thurrott a call, your Apple Trolling skill is a bit rusty. For sure Thurrott can help you in that subject. But if you’re making Thurrott your staff then you’d be employing a Microsoft employee. Wait, what? Thurrott is not Microsoft Employee? Ah he’s just an independent Microsoft P.R. agent. Got it.
