RUSSIA SEEKS TO FURTHER BAN LAUGHTER "Prosecutors in Russia want to ban the award-winning satirical U.S. cartoon South Park, calling the series 'extremist' after receiving viewer complaints, a spokeswoman said on Monday. … The Russian Union of Christians of Evangelical Faith had asked prosecutors to ban South Park after it said 20 experts had studied the show for its effect on young viewers. The group's leader, Konstantin Bendas, 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.'"

South Park does incite me to hate, but only to hate South Park. Sort've shoots itself in the foot on that one.
I thought Russian Christians were underground or something. What's with the filing complaints and not cowering before your government. They learned this crap from America, ya know.
Noooooo!!
I love south park and can't wait to see their response to this in the coming season- if they even deem it worthy of satirizing.
Dumbasses, the show isn't meant for children, or young viewers!! This is strictly for adults. I can't keep up, is there freedom of choice in Russia now or not?
That's ok Chelsea, I'm sure there will always be reruns of Friends to watch.
"as it insults the feelings of religious believers and incites religious and national hatred." and that's why I love it!
I love how the contextual advertising for this is a "Bad Religion Canada 2008 tour".
Yeah Bad Religion, take me back to grade 8!
