Editing Cartoon Wars Part I (section)

===Description===
Hysterical panic sets in when news that the animated TV show, Family Guy, will air an image of the Muslim prophet Mohammed in an upcoming episode.  Fearing it will incite extremist violence, everyone barricades themselves in the community center and waits for the worst.

To their relief, the image is censored by Fox at the last minute.  But the townspeople's hysteria returns when they learn the episode is only the first half of a two-parter, and that during the next installment, Mohammed will definitely appear.  

The boys are on opposite sides of this issue -- [[Stan]] and [[Kyle]] like the show and feel like censoring it would be a strike against free speech.  [[Cartman]], however, is unusually sympathetic to the Muslim religion.  He calls Family Guy's actions an insult to Islam and an invitation to holy war.  More importantly, he vows to do something to stop it.

After Kyle has a gruesome nuclear nightmare where he experiences the loss of his family due terrorist attacks, he is swayed to Cartman's way of thinking. Kyle agrees to accompany Cartman on his Big Wheel mission to Los Angeles to try to get the episode pulled. 

It doesn't take long, however, for Cartman's true motives to surface.  He could care less about the Muslims or the threat of violence. He just hates Family Guy. Cartman reasons that if he can get just one episode pulled, other pressure groups will be able to get the ones they hate pulled as well. The show will thus lose all credibility and be cancelled.

Angry at being betrayed, Kyle vows to impede his plan, and the two embark on a high-speed Big Wheel chase down the highway.  Kyle eventually loses control of his tricycle and bails out just as it careens over a cliff and crashes into the valley below, exploding on impact.  Bruised and battered, he watches helplessly as Cartman, laughing, pedals off into the distance.

Meanwhile, South Park's residents cope with the fear of impending doom.  They call in an expert University Professor, who lays out the most practical plan: In order to show Islamist radicals that they had no part in Family Guy's actions, they must literally bury their heads in the sand.  The townspeople soon agree, and begin the massive undertaking of burying everyone's head beneath a mound of sand.

In Hollywood, President Bush arrives to personally appeal to the President of Fox, stressing the episode must be censored as a matter of national security.  However, the President of Fox is accountable to the writers of Family Guy.  They insist the image of Mohammed not be censored.  He then tells Bush the bizarre truth about Family Guy's writing staff -- a truth that won't be revealed until . . . Part Two.
