Goin' Down to Southpark...

The TV show, Southpark has run a two part episode over the past couple of weeks. In this episode, the show Family Guy is supposed to be running a bit where Muhammad gives Peter a salmon helmet or something. In the show, the country is freaking out because it is against Islamic law to show any picture of their prophet. And, apparently, the folks over at Comedy Central censored a picture of Muhammad from being shown.
Upon further review, it turns out that several years ago, the folks at Southpark DID actually show a cartoon image of Muhammad in their "Super Best Friends" episode, (which was a very funny episode, by the way). Apparently, no one knew the rule at that time, and Muslims don't watch Southpark.
Anyway, what does all this mean? I don't know.
What I do know is this... In this weeks episode, three of my very favorite shows were all brought together. In the episode Cartman goes to the Family Guy Studio at Fox where he is trying to get the episode pulled from the air. While there he enlists the help of Bart Simpson, (who is never actually given a name in the episode. They just call him kid.) Which means, that in this episode of southpark, I got to see:
1) Southpark
2) Family Guy
3) The Simpsons
Guys, it just doesn't get any better than this.
