Fertilizer?
As to the location... it turns out that Viacom's headquarters are in the same building as the Minskoff Theater on Broadway where the Lion King production has been showing.
Viacom is the media conglomerate that owns CBS, MTV and... Comedy Central which allegedly aired (sort of - but really not at all) several depictions of "the Prophet Muhammad" on its South Park "cartoon" series last week.
To be accurate - and I did tape the two-part episode and watch it just because of this controversy prior to any bombs or threats - "the Prophet Muhammad" was NOT depicted nor was "he" even in the "bear mascot" suit nor the U-Haul Rental Truck.
In the cliff hanger... the "boys" had tricked the "Hollywood actors," led by "Tom Cruise," into thinking that "Muhammad" was in the costume when in reality it was just "Santa Claus" and "Muhammad" was safe all along from those Hollywood weirdos.
Now, that probably doesn't make any sense... but the fact of the matter is: The Prophet Muhammad was definitely NOT depicted in any way on the recent South Park episodes. There was a "CENSORED" box shown at a couple of points - but later events revealed that this was probably "Santa Claus" as that's who turns up in the bear suit.
"Muhammad" was however depicted in a benign fashion many years ago in an episode where "he" teams up with "Jesus" and the "leaders" of other world faiths and philosophical systems to combat an "evil cult" led by British "magician" "David Blaine." Since this was well before 9/11/2001, no one paid it any mind and no one cared - including the Taliban that was then fighting to control Afghanistan.
I can't see how any off that makes any sense either.
