The Russians aren't too excited with the US cartoon South Park airing
in their country.
Prosecutors in Russia want the cartoon banned! They're even calling
the series "extremist" and have already received various viewer
complaints.
Now? All of a sudden???
South Park has been around forevs!!
Valentina Titova, a rep for the prosecutors, says they decided to file
a motion after an episode aired on the Moscow television station 2×2
back in January. She claims the cartoon "bore signs of extremist
activity."
Titova added, "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."
Even the Russian Union of Christians of Evangelical Faith has asked
that prosecutors ban the show. They claim that 20 experts studied the
show for its effects on young viewers and decided it was not
appropriate.
Konstantin Bendas, the group's leader, said, "South Park is just one
of many cartoons that need to be banned from open broadcast
as it
insults the feelings of religious believers and incites religious and
national hatred."
Adding, "Our complaint is against a lot of cartoons, but this one was
from 'South Park' season three, episode 15."
That episode, titled Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics, features the
famous piece of poop singing.
Bendas added, "It's one thing if they are on cable TV and viewers pay
money and make a conscious choice. But young children should not be
able to turn on the TV after school and watch this. They need to be
defended."
Do U think South Park goes too far in its episodes?
