Don't forget - tomorrow is the big day!
"Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!" began last month as the brainchild of a Seattle-based cartoonist named Molly Norris, who was appalled by Comedy Central's decision to censor an episode of "South Park" that depicted Muhammad in a bear costume.
As a way to protest the network's decision -- which came after an Islamic extremist website warned of retaliation against the show's creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker -- Norris created a poster with likenesses of Muhammad as a domino, a teacup and a box of pasta.

You just had to know it was going to come to this.
Don't mess with Allah. That's the new, unwritten code in Hollywood following the one-two punch of Islamic extremists' threats against the creators of "South Park" and the failed bombing attempt outside the cartoon’s parent company, Viacom, in New York's Times Square.

My, my, my. A peace loving, radical muslim website warned South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone that they could face retribution for last week's episode. To commemorate their 200th episode, the duo brought back MANY things from the first 199 shows, including a controversial show where they toyed with the idea of depicting the prophet Muhammad on screen. Ultimately, it never happened the first time around, but in episode 200, apparently they went too far.
