Updated: I've posted some photos of the Virgin Mary bleeding on the Pope below. I'd suggest not looking if you're Catholic and might be offended. Where are the Catholic riots, anyway? And do Catholics issue death fatwas when they get offended?
----------

Just kidding. No riots, but they did spark protests. You know, a letter writing campaign and a call for a boycott of the specific television station--not the country-- that produced South Park, the U.S.A.

I wonder if the television station showed the controversial Muhammed cartoons, one of the biggest stories of the past few weeks? Townhall:

While the Mohammed cartoon controversy rages around the world, a television channel in New Zealand was under fire Wednesday for a decision to show an episode of the South Park comedy series featuring a menstruating statue of the Virgin Mary.

The episode, entitled "Bloody Mary," originally was scheduled to air in May, but after a religious row erupted, the network decided to move it up to Wednesday.

Better add Cartman to the cartoon below.

You can watch the entire episode of South Park here.

IO Error has more.

2 That's a Cardinal getting sprayed with vaginal blood. The Pope gets it later in the episode.

3 I didn't realize you were going to post the link, or I would have also given you the original story with more photos as well.

5 I wouldn't believe anything CNN or John Ryan said. Both lack credibility.
