The controversy over South Park's latest depiction of the prophet Mohammad went from veiled death threats to a censorship controversy when Comedy Central added some extra bleeps to last week's episode without permission from Colorado-bred creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker.

The whole mess got The Daily Show's Jon Stewart so worked up that he did a whopping ten minute-plus on the subject, complete with montages insulting Christians and Jews, capped by a closing musical number framed around the phrase "Go fuck yourself."
