There's some new ground for South Park to tackle:  Zardoz.

Bring Sean Connery into it and have him run around in orange boots.

From the South Park Studios' home page:

Quote from: South Park Studios
A Statement from Matt and Trey
In the 14 years we've been doing South Park we have never done a show that we couldn't stand behind. We delivered our version of the show to Comedy Central and they made a determination to alter the episode. It wasn't some meta-joke on our part. Comedy Central added the bleeps. In fact, Kyle's customary final speech was about intimidation and fear. It didn't mention Muhammad at all but it got bleeped too. We'll be back next week with a whole new show about something completely different and we'll see what happens to it.

Now I'm kinda torqued at Comedy Central.  Part of South Park's charm was that they weren't afraid or censored.  It'll be really hard to get that back.
