South Park to be Syndicated

Which means they are going to have to censor it and water it down to make it suitable for broadcast TV.

Apparently there are about 24 episodes already deemed "too edgy to run". And for the rest they will have to change the language and possibly even edit some of the graphics and other content. So now Kyle's mom is gonna be a "witch" or a "big meanie" and Big Gay Al will just be Big Al and Chef will be white or at least dumbed down to fit in with the standard 'sitcom black man.' Dy-no-mite.
Why are they even bothering?

Because network suits seem to think it'll make them a little cash.

I'd actually like to see how the edited ones turnout

YOU GUYS ARE SURE GETTING CYNICAL ABOUT ALL THIS

[dead_pigeon]

Always remember the possibility of BACKMASKING and SUBLIMINAL IMAGING! "Unsuitable" images or dialogue could be slipped in so DEDICATED FANS could spend hours finding single-frame images and reversed naughty words!

Theyll cut out that scene in You got f'ed in the A... The one where Butters kills like 6 people. That was so awesome...WHY NETWORK TV?!

and if its comedy central thats doing this, then i have lost respect. (it could have said that in the article, but i didnt read the whole thing)

How are matt and trey pussies? If you don't like it, don't watch it you fucking dipshit. It's not like they're censoring them on comedy central.

All this means is they're going to show them on network affiliates, and any smart person shouldn't be watching network television anyway.

"and if its comedy central thats doing this, then i have lost respect."

And if you ever had respect for comedy central then you're a fucking moron.
