Those of you who came to see the unedited South Park episode 201, I must regretfully inform you that we have been forced by the pussies that be to take it down. We originally posted this video because, unlike them, we are not afraid of terrorists, Al Qaeda, Talaban or suicide bombers. We felt very strongly that when you censor art because somebody has an issue with it, whether it be terrorists or a Sunday school preacher, we devolve back to an era where burning books and destroying rock and roll records were the norm. We recently received an email which was appropriately resting in our junk mail folder. Here is an excerpt from it:
I hereby request that you immediately remove or block access to the infringing material and ensure the user refrains from using or sharing with pirromount the Rights Owners’ materials in the future. Additionally I request that the removed link be replaced with the following language: “This video has been removed because of infringement.” I urge you to take immediate action to stop this infringing activity and inform me of the results of your actions. Please respond indicating the actions you have taken to resolve this matter. For email correspondence, please reference the above Notice ID in the subject line. Nothing in this letter shall serve as a waiver of any rights or remedies of the Rights Owners with respect to the alleged infringement, all of which are expressly reserved. In addition, this notice is without prejudice to the positions that you have an affirmative obligation to prevent or limit infringement of the Rights Owners’ exclusive rights without regard to receiving a specific takedown notice. In complying with this notice, pirromount should not destroy or spoliate any evidence which may be relevant in a lawsuit relating to the infringement alleged herein, including the infringing videos and all associated electronic documents and data relating to their presence on pirromount.com, which shall be preserved while disabling public access, irrespective of any document retention or corporate policy to the contrary. Should you need to contact me, I may be reached at the following address: Warren Solow Viacom 1515 Broadway New York, NY 10036 v: (408) 217-5000 agent@viacom.copyright-notice.com end of email.
Naturally, we admit that they are completely within their rights to demand the video be taken down, as it is indeed derived from their property. And although we are never ones to buckle under the threat of religious zealots (as you know if you’re familiar with our Submissive Jesus Toy, or God Complex movie), which is why we restored the video in the first place, we must buckle under the threat of a company whose lawyers have much bigger dicks than our lawyers. And we understand that legally they have the right to do so (unlike terrorists, of course, who just use the threat of violence to get their way). Maybe one day the cowards who restricted this video in the first place and continually restrict this video will ultimately come to their senses and release the uncensored episode. Maybe some brave soul at Viacom will research history and learn that the very foundation of this country was founded on people fighting for their freedom of expression. Maybe they will learn that there was once a time when actual people died defending that freedom. I was a huge fan of the South Park show. It was edgy and strong willed, and I had nothing but admiration for the show and its creators, Matt and Trey. As a satirist and comedy filmmaker, my appreciation for the edginess of the show had no bounds. I bought every DVD of every season and cherished the cleverness of each episode as if I had created them myself. I think that’s why I got personally offended when the episode got censored. Maybe I was vicariously fighting Matt and Trey’s battle by restoring the episode. In fact, before I restored the episode(and before I knew that the episode would NEVER be available, which I always thought would be restored when it came out on DVD), I had created a”Mohammad Speaks” video, in defense of South Park. This led to another, then another, then another, and so on. That was my catharsis on dealing with this travesty. However, when the DVD came out and I saw it too was censored, that’s when I got furious and made my now also banned video. Anyway, I have lost all respect for the show. I no longer buy season DVDs. I no longer watch it or even care that much about it. I have since moved my allegiance over to “Family Guy,” a show I once resented because I considered it a show that was jumping on the bandwagon of South Park’sedginess and success. And because to my knowledge there are no episodes of Family Guy that have been banned for life. If Family Guy ever creates an episode that gets pulled because of any lame threat, you can be assured that I will try to restore it…at least until I get a cease and desist letter from Fox. Once again, my deepest regrets to our most recent loss against terrorism. That’s all I have to say. The rest of this page has the bask story of how this whole thing started, if you weren’t originally aware.
(GOOD NEWS UPDATE – SCROLL TO VERY BOTTOM OF THE PAGE) ———————————————————
Here is the back story of this episode, for those of you not aware of its history.
For those of you not familiar with this story: back in 2010, South Park aired a two part episode for their 200th show. The episode featured the Muslim prophet Mohammad in a comical way. Episode 200 aired in its usual fashion. It was uncensored (and can be found in tact on the DVD). In the week between episode 200 and 201, there was a death threat on the show’s creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, which prompted the network to censor the upcoming episode 201. When the show aired, any mention of the name Mohammad was mercilessly bleeped out, as well as an ending speech that lasted about 30 seconds. It was a distraction to the episode and an embarrassment to the concept of free speech. You can read more about it here.
The irony is that it was an episode dealing with censorship (the black censorship bars hiding Mohammad were deliberate and part of the joke, but that joke got lost in translation when Cowardly Central put all the audio bleeps at any mention of the name Mohammad). The message became convoluted and lost because of their censorship on top of the ‘joke’ censorship depicted in the episode. The viewer didn’t know what was real censoring and what was part of the show. It ruined a potentially brilliant statement about free speech in America.
A SOUTH PARK EPISODE YEARS AGO WHEN IT WAS OK TO SHOW MOHAMMAD (on right)
When the ‘uncensored’ season 14 DVD came out, that episode was censored, just like it was when it aired. The episode has NEVER been available anywhere uncensored – not on television, not online, not on the DVD. This infuriated me (probably more than the creators of the show), as well as many devoted fans of the show, not to mention strong advocates of free speech, which prompted me to take the censored version of the episode, and utilizing the ‘Mohammad’s from previous episodes, carefully restore it to the way it should have originally aired. The only thing I couldn’t completely restore was the closing speech. For that I added in subtitles of what was originally said based on a transcript of the show. Once I made the restored video, every time we posted in on Youtube, it would immediately get pulled. Then we uploaded it to a site called Megavideo, until the site got closed down by the feds.
As you know, we abhor censorship in any form, especially irrational censorship based on fear or cowardice. And since this episode was brutally butchered by the powers that be at Cowardly Central, I found myself compelled to ‘fix’ this miscarriage of free expression. That’s why I went to the trouble and effort to restore the episode as closely as we could get it to Matt Stone and Trey Parker’s original vision. I had a strong feeling that Matt and Trey would support me on this one. They were seriously muzzled by their bosses (they couldn’t even say ‘Mohammad’ on the DVD commentary for that episode, which you can listen to here. They would only refer to him as the ‘prophet of the Muslim faith’) for fear of getting censored. We make no copyright claims to this, and we get no financial compensation for this. We do this for the South Park fans (of which we are a part of) who were sorely disappointed at the censorship and unavailability of this episode. And by restoring it to what it should have been in the first place, maybe send a message to the wimps at Cowardly Central, that free expression should be bigger than fear.
UPDATE 2-5-14
GOOD NEWS SOUTH PARK FANS. WE’VE BEEN INFORMED THAT A LEAKED VERSION OF THE VIDEO IS NOW AVAILABLE ON A BIT TORRENT SITE:
http://thepiratebay.se/torrent/9547850/South.Park.Season.14.Episode.6.201
THIS VIDEO IS COMPLETE, IT IS NOT THE ONE I MADE, IT IS BETTER. IT HAS ALL THE ‘MOHAMMADS” and IT ALSO HAS THE COMPLETE ENDING MONOLOGUES (instead of the one we made with the subtitles).
UPDATE 2-5-18
Unfortunately the above link is no longer valid. Looks like that episode was taken down once again. However, you can at least still see the uncensored speech from the end of the episode here (at least until IT gets taken down): https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=452803128180744
PRAISE BE TO ALLAH. FREEDOM REIGNS. LET THE WIMPS CENSOR. THE INTERNET TRUMPS ALL FEAR AND INTIMIDATION. THIS IS INDEED A GREAT DAY FOR FREEDOM.
Thank you for this. I completely agree with you about the fight for freedom of speech and expression. Thank you for posting this information and the uncensored link!
Well, you still point for a needle in a haystick smaller now.
In the meantime I tracked down the episodes down
to minutes an seconds of his appearance.
I suppose you knew these epsisodes including the exact times either but you had and have your reasons not to tell.
So I will not either, as a matter of respect.
Take care
Damian
“A SOUTH PARK EPISODE YEARS AGO WHEN IT WAS OK TO SHOW MOHAMMAD”
Please be frank.
Which one please?
Damian
It’s on the Season 14 DVD. How much more frank can we be?
To all people who are saying this uncensored version isn’t legit I played it alongside the bleeped version on a separate monitor – it’s the same animation and the lip synching works for the words used. This is the real deal, see for yourself if you don’t believe me.
I wonder what sort of intellectual property rights to the show that matt and trey have. I’m sure viacom holds a good chunk of it, but does it ever revert to them at some point as the original creators? (side bar, this is why is miss VHS sometimes, can’t get a dvd to record a live episode) at SOME point i need to be able to see 200, 201, and super best freinds. The fact that we censored this just depresses me more then almost anything ive see in this country for years. we betrayedour founding principal of free, that… Read more »

Shut-Up Matt

Uploading a Link 🙂 come back soon!
Fear is the worst excuse for censorship.
Time for a class action lawsuit!
I just checked it. It still appears to be up.

is dead
here what has happend last night
”buy south park season 14 UNCENSORED! dvd”
”put disc in the dvd player”
”ep.201 is censored”
And the cover says this is uncensored
Comedy Central… YOU ARE A LIAR!
I can see how Kyle’s final speech would be bleeped because network fears not all people understand sarcasm and just were afraid it would spark the “violence”.
Now that the full episode has leaked, this goofy shit is obsolete. Just want to inform new visitors looking for the actual leak that this is not what they’re looking for.
Where is it? If you have it and can confirm it as legitimate, we will create a corrected version (rather than sit back, hate filled, eating Cheetos, trolling and pointlessly condemning efforts to battle censorship)
I knew you were full of it. I was the one from this post : “Jon says:

BS on the end speech
Mark Pirro Reponds:
Always nice to hear from an authority.”
You are a liar and you were promoting some hateful BS on your website. Here is the real link you jackass:
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1nDH8VwN06B
That’s a dead link. We created this video on information we had available to us. You give us credible alternates and we will create a corrected video. Unlike the mindless haters and trolls like you that we periodically encounter (and mostly ignore), we’re willing to correct mistakes. Have a nice day, Brainiac.
This is all wrong.

Dead link. Keep trying.
Awesome lesson at the end!! thank you for restoring this episode the best you could thank you 😉
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you for making that episode available.
Thank you for sharing this, it’s a shame they couldn’t have had this uncensored, it is such a crucial message that I think applies to any belief system.
Someone should threaten South Park studios to send them an uncensored version of this with Muhammad’s character voice name and Tom cruise, all uncensored, and see if we get the episode then it should work or maybe we should just threaten those pussies at Comedy Central for it.
Thanks for the post. I don’t much care for the unbleeped uses of the word Muhammad from the previous episode, as I think we all know they were saying “Muhammad”, but the end moral speech is an interesting read. I do suggest you type it out somewhere, if you can, as I know I don’t need to watch the whole video, and ended up just skipping ahead. Or maybe also post just that short clip. It’s really frustrating that this is the best we can get, as it obviously wasn’t the final speech Trey and Matt referenced in their press… Read more »
Hey thanks for posting this I was jw if could find episode 200?
all the muhammads were beeped
Mark
Thanks so much for posting this. Its a shame it was censored in the first place. People should be able to see it without fear or censorship! And your right, people can believe what they want to, they don’t need to attack you for doing something good and right.
Peace
Thanks for the kind words. There will always be people that spew forth negativity, anger and downright hate. It comes with the territory. But people like you, who appreciate our efforts, make it worthwhile.
mark you come across as a total dick.
…and you come across loving and sensitive. I can’t figure out why we’re not best friends.
BS on the end speech
Always nice to hear from an authority.
Actually, 200 and 201 were censored by comedy central before air. Stone and Parker have explicitly stated the censorship was not done by them and not some meta-joke about the depiction of Muhammad.
Episode 200 was not censored. The trouble came between the two airings, when CC removed all audio of the word Mohammad and Kyle’s end speech from episode 201. Anyway, people will believe what they want to believe, and I’m done arguing the point.
Nothing in episode 201 is a joke. That episode was released censored due to threats on the lives of both Trey Parker and Matt Stone. Also because the Comedy Central Corporation didn’t want Muslim retaliation for the depiction of Muhammad. However, In the episode Super Best Friends (Season 5 Episode 3) the image of Muhammad isn’t censored at all. Episode 200 originally aired uncensored, but that was prior to threats made. The day episode 201 was set to air, Comedy Central pulled it without the consent of the authors instead replacing that episode with a re-run. The next episode to… Read more »
Your facts are not entirely correct. Yes, Mohammad was shown in the SBF episode of season 5. In the week between episode 200 and 201, the death threat was made. Episode 201 DID air on Comedy Central as scheduled, however it aired with all the Mohammads and the end speech bleeped out (it has since been pulled from syndication). Everything else (ie black censorship bars) WERE put in there by Matt and Trey as a joke. In fact, look at how the bars move with the action. And if you pay close attention, you’ll notice that when the scene calls… Read more »
You say this is uncut/uncensored, well how come the f-bombs are still beep, sorry this is still censored
I guess you just can’t please everybody.
The Muhammads are still censored. Something is wrong in the system!
You do realize that the black bar censoring the image of Mohammad is intentional in the episode, right? See, this is the problem with Cowardly Central censoring the word Mohammad. Because of that, the less astute out there don’t comprehend what’s part of the joke and what isn’t.
Wow everyone here believed that was real? So obviously fake and terribly written… No one here knows south park or matt and treys writing apparently..
And obviously you’ve got the inside track. Please, share with us what your version of the script says.
I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s equally educative and engaging, and
let me tell you, you have hit the nail on the head. The problem is something not
enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I stumbled across this during my search for something concerning this.
We do our best to advance freedom of speech and oppress cowardice, wherever we find it.
Thank you very much! That was amazing. I don’t know if the ending speech was actually the original, but I will accept it. It does seem like something Muslims would threaten terror over. Thank you again!
Mohammads gay
Muslim could really learn from this.
Not only south park do have crazy funny humor but they also are so fucking clever and smart, that’s what makes them unique. Crazy fantasy combined with cleverness.
