Times Square Car Bomb linked to South Park

Last Saturday night, a car bomb was found in Times Square. Fortunately, although the device had apparently begun to detonate, it failed to explode. Representative Peter T. King, the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Homeland Security suggested that the car bomb could be linked to the controversial 'South Park' episode. The episode in question included a caricature of the prophet Muhammad dressed in a bear suit and spurred Islamic radical group Revolution Muslim to threaten the 'South Park' creators. A post on RevolutionMuslim.com declared, "We have to warn Matt and Trey that what they are doing is stupid and they will probably end up like Theo van Gogh for airing this show. This is not a threat, but a warning of the reality of what will happen to them" (foxnews.com). The car bomb itself was found nearby Viacom headquarters , the conglomerate that owns Comedy Central, on which South Park is aired.
