After Episode 200 of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone have become the very real recipients of South Park death threats. After a tongue-in-cheek depiction of Mohammad, a “radical” site posted a very detailed warning saying that Trey and Matt may well end up dead. Stone and Parker might well have to look into unsecured personal loans to get private body guards, though the network that shows South Park has not offered an official response.
Other extremist murders echoed by South Park death threats
The incredibly violent murder of Theo Van Gogh was called up within 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. The author of the South Park death threat post, in an interview with Fox News said that the post was “not a threat, but it really is a likely outcome”.
Episode 200 spurs on South Park death threats
The episode that led to Abu Talhah al Amrikee posting the South Park death threats was aired on Comedy Central last week. The concern over showing Mohammad and also the violence that might happen was the focus of the South Park episode that really 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. South Park has depicted Mohammad in the past during “Super Best Friends” episodes, though those episodes did not lead to South Park death threats.
Specific data integrated in South Park death threats
The South Park death threats might be called “just a warning” by the author, but the posting incorporated very specific information. The South Park death threats also involved 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 cash loans for Trey and Stone to beef up their security details.
