Russia to Protect Itself from Southparkist Extremism
Russian prosecutors seek to ban South Park from Russian television.
According to Reuters:
Basmanny regional prosecutors office spokeswoman Valentina Titova
said investigators filed a motion after deciding an episode broadcast
on Moscow television station 2×2 in January "bore signs of extremist
activity.""In accordance with the conclusions made by experts from the court
investigations committee, a claim has been filed against 2×2 for its
broadcast of an episode of South Park," Titova said.
The episode in question is Season 3's Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics.
I see where they're coming from. I mean seriously, they had that whole episode about homeless people invading a small town, and then the Russian army stomps all over Georgia. Great job TV; It's time to take responsibility for what you've done.
