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.

Episode 1405 Press Release
From the Comedy Central Press Release:

THE 200TH EPISODE OF “SOUTH PARK” IS ALL NEW
THIS WEDNESDAY, APRIL 14 AT 10:00 P.M. ON COMEDY CENTRAL?

NEW YORK, April 12, 2010 – “EVERY celebrity THE TOWN OF SOUTH PARK HAS EVER MOCKED IS out for revenge AS THE SHOW marks ITS 200TH EPISODE titled “200,” premiering on Wednesday, April 14 at 10:00 p.m. on COMEDY CENTRAL.

While on a school field trip, Stan accidentally INSULTS Tom Cruise and sets off a chain reaction. 200 previously ridiculed celebrities stand strong in a class action lawsuit against the town of South Park. This could be the thing that destroys South Park forever.

Comedy Central strongly urges you not to download the episode from any site such as MrTwig.net/SouthParkFiles.com or any other South Park related sites. Remember that unauthorized download of South Park episodes hurts Comedy Central and South Park team. It is very very wrong to download South Park Episodes from sites like MrTwig.net, because Comedy Central would have to wait for another 2 months to get gold plated shark tank installed in their lobby. Instead, Comedy Central would like you to purchase the episode from vendors like Amazon.com or iTunes Store.
