Viacom has "banned" 2 episodes of South Park, episode 1405 and 1406 from their website. They also did not release them to paying customers on I-Tunes who bought a "season pass" paying for every episode in the season. This in my opinion is fraud.
Read up on it, you'll see why. They also removed an episode from season 5 which originally aired in July of 2001 from both their websites and I-Tunes.
They had an issue with 201? Fine. But they drew the line by going and cutting Super Best Friends off this website, and its also off ITunes.They also drew the line by not making the episodes available to "season pass" holders on ITunes. That's just wrong on both Viacom and Apple's part.
They're just asking to get "pirated".
I would post everything they "banned" on youtube
TORRENT. Grab bittorrent or utorrent and DOWNLOAD the episodes. Post links to them on your blogs, your facebook pages, etc.
E-Mail, Contact your local news organization such as a TV/Radio station newsroom or newspaper. They get enough E-Mails about it, they'll do a story and expose this rubbish to people other then the average South Park fan.
Viacom's revenues went up the first quarter, show the fact that they're "letting the terrorists win" to people on Wall Street and they'll give Viacom something to worry about.
They have a problem with threats? That didn't stop Al-Jazeera from airing all of the Bin Laden videos. One of the government organizations who are at war in the middle east could have easily stormed them and kicked them off the air for spreading terrorist propaganda.
Seriously, take this post very seriously. They got a "threat" about 1 episode, so they took 3 hostage and "banned them" from places where they have been legally available. What's next? They going to flag your DVR, take the DVD of Season 5 out of all stores and warehouses? Storm into your house and seize all copies of your season 5 DVD?
Download the offending episodes with bitorrent or utorrent. Look it up. Torrents can be easilly found at www.mrtwig.com Once you get your downloaded copy of these episodes, spread them around for everyone to see.
Season 5: Super Best Friends
Season 14: 200
Season 14: 201
You may also want to grab 2 episodes from Season 10, although these 2 contain much of the same crap they "banned" they are still readily available. Maybe Viacom just didn't "get to them yet" Its a 2 parter called "Cartoon Wars"
