A subject that has been capitalized upon a lot lately but not necessarily by beneficial sources but rather by those who would suppress our freedoms in the name of their bottom line. That the first amendment guarantees creators’ rights, and citizen rights, to freedom of speech. However, we should stand loud and proud in our proclamations that these things cannot be allowed to flourish.
We shouldn’t use violence against violence for it only creates more violence. For it is a truth known by too many these days that there are many out there who will use this as an excuse to create more violence. But if we value our freedoms as much as we claim we do, such as sending our troops off to fight for other nations’ freedoms but being unwilling to fight for those same freedoms at home, then we must challenge any move by a government or organization or corporation that takes steps to silence voice even under the ideal of ‘protecting’ people. It’s a sad state of affairs in the nation today when creators are not allowed to make their views known out of fear or out of opportunity.
Youtube won’t even allow it to become remotely viewable though clips of Kyle’s speech have made it up. Here’s a link to the uncensored episode of 201: I’m sure Comedy Central was more watching out for their employees than anything, it is certainly a convenient test tool for how much information that they can keep from public viewage. And with Citizens United, they came ever closer to this goal. It’s like they want to become the all encompassing force controlling the public. Too often lately, the corporations have been trying to supersede the government.
Apparently, someone has managed to download an uncensored version of 201 through the South Park servers. So, a few years back episode 201 was censored by Comedy Central and drew a lot of press.
