When “South Park death threats” might sound like an episode title created by Parker and Stone, Episode 200 of South Park created very real death threats. After a tongue-in-cheek depiction of Mohammad, a “radical” website posted a very detailed warning saying that Trey and Matt might well end up dead. Parker and Stone may well have to get unsecured personal loans to fund private security, though the South Park death threats have elicited no comment from the network yet.
South Park death threats echo other murders
The incredibly violent murder of Theo Van Gogh was called up in the South Park death threats. Theo Van Gogh was the Dutch artist who was murdered in 2004. There were graphic photographs of Theo Van Gogh’s death and near-decapitation attached to the South Park death threats. Fox News interviewed the author of the designed South Park death threat post, and he said the post was “not a threat, but is really a likely outcome” and warning to Trey Parker and Matt Stone.
Episode 200 spurs on South Park death threats
Last week, Comedy Central aired the episode that spurred on Abu Talhah al Amrikee’s posting of the South Park death threats. The concern over showing Mohammad and the violence that might happen was the focus of the South Park episode that actually spurred on South Park death threats. During the episode, Mohammad is depicted, but only disguised in a bear suit. All other depictions of Mohammad during the South Park episode are covered with a “censored” bar that blocks the view of the character. A few years ago, South Park showed Mohammad during a “Super Best Friends” episode that also integrated Jesus, Buddha, and other religious leaders.
South Park death threats also involved specific information
Very specific data on Parker and Stone was incorporated in the posting, although it was supposedly “just a warning”. The South Park death threats also integrated a very specific link to the layout of the mansion in Colorado that Trey and Parker share. While Comedy Central has made no specific comment about the death threats, it would not be surprising if they offer easy money loans for Trey and Stone to beef up their security information.
