Is that really hypocrisy? Christianity and Buddhism have no proscription against images of Jesus or the Buddha respectively; in fact, both historically encourage such images (but would have a problem with desecration of those images -- think Andres Serrano and his "Piss Christ"). Islam, on the other hand, traditionally does have such a proscription.
I mean granted, I know it's South Park, so there's no reason to assume they're acting out of noble urges, but there is a difference.

Umm it wasn't South park that covered it up, it was Comedy Central. Mainly because they were afraid of the reprecussions. The creators came out against Comedy Central for doing it.
